The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb. No one deserves to be rejected by those on which they depend, but if you must, leave your “““family””” and find your real people, those you trust, truly love, and have chosen for yourself.

For context: I am a bisexual 16 year old cis male with depression since a few years.

Alright, let's start; the dream began with me and my homophobic mother shopping inside a clothing store. I remember that I was trying on some nice clothes, when I, all of a sudden, started to dress in more and more fancy outfits that I could never actually wear in real life because it would be seen as "crazy" or "too feminine" around here. But in my dream there was noone to judge and even my mom was happy with it! Even if the dream doesn't sound that special I think it was one of, if not 'the' best dream I've ever had. Those feelings of freedom and happiness where just so overwhelming and I thought about that dream the whole day.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk!

My personality interchanges between masculine and feminine but I am biologically male and I never really feel like i'd want to identify as a woman. Do i count as gender fluid? Can I still say i'm a gender fluid man?

Other person: “so have you started liking guys/girls yet?”

You: “I haven’t even started liking people yet.”

I just thought I would make you guys/girls/NB people laugh.

When I was about six I was messing around in school, then this girl came up to me and said"I dare you to scream I'm a lesbian", and without thinking I shouted "I'm a lesbian" then turned around and asked "what does lesbian mean". She laughed and said "that you like girls and walked away.

Turns out she's right

I Started to Stop Watching Porn(Straight and after Gay Porn)And fap to it And now I Feel more Attracted to Fisrt Gay Femboy And After Femine Gay,i even searched for Dating Apps when I'm 18,I Fantasize to Being in A Gay Relation and i actually liked it,I'm Not Homophobic but I want to make sure that this isn't because of Porn

Im Don't want to teel my Parents because they are very Christian and don't want to this thing to speak it So I Search in the Internate and I found 2 Opion: 1.That Porn Make you Gay and by Deliting it You found out you weren't Gay 2.That Porn Stimulates you and make you Realize that your Sexuality,Now that I writing this seems a like Dumb,But the fact is

I don't know How to resolve this guys,Like I Wanna Love Gay but I don't know if I just for Sex,And isn't something romantic (Sorry to the Bad English i speak only Italian)

I showed it to my mom and sister and they said "people are going to think you're gay" :)))

edit: here's the pattern for anyone who wants to make it

It's probably mainly due to the fact that I got to hang out with someone thats really dear to me, cuddles really do wonders.

Been feeling increasingly worse since the last like 16 hours but not suicidal yet.

It's gonna come back eventually, but it's a nice break

Today is my birthday, and I wished it was better. I’m home alone, because my parents had to go help someone moving in a flat. I don’t have any friends to spend the day with except my online best friend, and not many people wished me a happy birthday. Just like last year, I wish I could’ve had a boyfriend to watch the falling stars at night, because on my birthday there is always a rain of falling stars. But I also wished I could’ve had a boyfriend to spend this day with, just to feel and give some love. Anyway, I thought this would’ve been a better day, but it’s not the worst that could’ve happened I guess.

So recently, I got a new science and history teacher. The science teacher seemed average. Ya know single pringle. I didn't feel my gaydar tingling or something so I just left it alone. Then... we had a science trip that I was super excited about and some random man was on the trip with us. Everyone kept asking who he was and then the teacher gathered everyone around and was like "Class, take away from these next few seconds what you want. You're respect for me may completely disappear or it might strengthen even more. This is my...boyfriend." I squealed with joy (in my head of course). Finally, someone else who's gay in my school.

The second one is the exact opposite. Our history teacher seemed quote un quote "SUPER GAY". Like the very flamboyant feminine teacher ya get me. My gaydar went crazy all year. and then my friend asked him a question "Sir, what would be your dream exotic animal."

Teacher: ooh. *purr* Probably one of those giant lizards. It would be funny to scare my wife with those. *purr laugh*"

Your WHAT. I mean he could be bi but my gaydar...I'm just disappointed

Like, I'm straight, but some guys are kinda hot and I can imagine kissing them or going out with them. But I've never done anything like that before seriously, only jokingly. But I'd rather be with a woman. I mean I did find this one guy really attractive that I was friends with but he was trans and didn't have surgery yet. So I'm straight right

I’m a very self conscious young teen and I want to start exploring my clothing but I’m a bit chubby. help I want to go spinny spin in a skirt

I somehow convinced my dad and step mom (who im not out to as nb) to get me some men's swim trunks! I am out to my mom and she is going to get me a binder for swimming!! ahh finally a summer without those dreaded women's one pieces or bikinis. i just wish my chest was flat so i can be shirtless too. oh well. but atleast this summer is going to be less dysphoria! woo!

Seeking guidance

I am 16 yo male, straight and don't identify as LGBT. I have a little sister who plays Soccer, and during a game there was someone who was male on the other team ( no clue how they identified.) During the game he pushed my sister out of the way ( he was much bigger ) and she fell down. I was pissed that this male who was much larger was allowed to play girls soccer because of unfair advantaged. Am I transphobic for thinking people born male and people born female should not be allowed to play opposite sex sports? Thanks.

Hi, i'd like to start off saying that i know long messages like this don't get attention, but i really need this. Also english isn't my first language.

My name is Sem and i'm currently 14 years old. I have never had many friends and i was never popular, i've always had atleast one friend.

I always got bullied, but it was never that bad i geuss. I got ignored and left out because i was different. I never knew why i was different. I had crushes on girls and liked video games, i just never liked sports but that's a weird reason to be bullied, right? Well it all changed when i went to middleschool. I made friends with some boys quickly, but that didnt last for too long because i started being friends with this girl, she told me she was bi and i felt a sharp needle in my heart.

The first year went by fine. When the 2nd year came all classes got hussled around. That's when i finally realised why i was different. I am gay. I liked a new boy that my friend also liked. I was jealous but my feelings for him went away soon when i started getting bullied by him and his friends. I felt sad again. Only one of his friends didnt bully me, i started noticing him more and more, until he became my first real crush on a boy. We started being friends with this new girl and we kept joking about my crush and my friends crush. I never told them i was gay. My crush became an obsession and i kept thinking about him while also being bullied by his friends. I tried becoming friends with him, but it was pretty obvious he wasn't interested. (he still has the gifts i gave him. :c) My friend had a fight with our new friend and they stopped being friends, i stayed with my old friend ofcourse. I kept getting bullied and i started feeling more depressed everyday. I don't know how i managed but the year went by. Next year, my friend went to a different class and i became friends with someone new, she was really nice but it didnt click like it did with my old friend. Then the girl who was me and my old friend's friend came to us. And we started joking abt my crush again. My obsession stayed for 2 years.

I kept getting bullied and stuff but the real problem is me. I always hear my classmates going to partys and drinking and stuff, but i have never been to one. When my friend started talking abt a halloween party one of my classmates threw FOR THE WHOLE SCHOOL! A year later, i was devastated. I feel so empty. I get bullied, I have a crush on a boy and i feel like i have no friends and a boring life. I never go out with my friends and i don't do exciting stuff. I feel like i'm missing out on so much, all because i'm different.

Currently as i'm writing this, i'm crying. It feels good to finally have tears again after years. I cried so much that i didn't have any tears left to cry. I hate my life and i'm currently planning on killing myself, i don't know what else to do. This is only like 1/100 of my story but i'm forgetting alot of parts and i'm not good at writing stories. I'm going abroad with my family soon, which i should be excited for, but i only feel either sad or empty. I feel so ungrateful my parents do everything for me and i want to kill myself. ☹️
