LGBTAitp - Part Nineteen
Hallo to all, and welcome to the nineteenth iteration of our safe, helpful place!
This is a thread where we Playgrounders, and LGBTAitp in particular, gather to discuss, share our experiences, give general advice and support one another in such matters as arise relating to, well, the world beyond heteronormativity.
Please note that although the title of the thread names only the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Asexual communities, it is intended as an all inclusive environment.
- Everyone is welcome. Let's try to keep from seeming otherwise.
- Keep this topic free of politics and religion. (so, don't violate the board rules, plz)
- It's beyond the scope of this thread to discuss whether LGBT is "Right." (And really, most discussions probably should avoid moralizing too much anyway)
- Please refrain from posting sexually explicit content. (Keep it friendly as well as board safe )
If you would rather be anonymous when asking for advice or sharing your story or views, you can use the address below to send a message to be posted in this thread via proxy.

Re: LGBTAitp - Part Nineteen
Yay, new thread. :)
Oh, littlelynn (author of the Rain webcomic) posted a new years resolution thingie on DeviantArt, so that made me think and my main resolution for the next year is to go to my gender therapist again as soon as possible (I didn't go again after my first meeting, but I feel a lot stronger in my identity now and I feel I have things figured out a bit better.) and hopefully start transitioning / presenting as female sometime next term.

Re: LGBTAitp - Part Nineteen
Ah, clean, uncorrupted, fresh, one-page, wonderful new thread. ^_^
Must. Corrupt. @_@
*paints blue*
MWAHAHAHA!
Do you mean Rain, noparlpf? It's about a MtF transsexual trying to pass at school, the shenanigans happening while the characters try to cover their secrets and some drama from their relationships and fears.
If it is another comic, then I have no clue. :3Last edited by Mina Kobold; 2011-12-29 at 03:24 PM.

Re: LGBTAitp - Part Nineteen
Are we supposed to do that?
Also, from last thread:
SpoilerOriginally Posted by Coidzor
I'm not saying you're totally wrong: people should know this stuff but some people don't, and it's not their fault. And seriously, dude, all it takes is a few extra hours to be dangerous. I've gone to sleep at midnight intending to get up in the morning and not woken up until 4pm the next day. That's extreme due to my fatigue, but it's really easy to do something like go for a nap at hour 4 and sleep too long and leave it in there. Which will be fine 99.9% of the time, but might not be, and hardly constitutes gross personal negligence. You have a point, but I really don't think you should make sweeping judgements about people who get a particular kind of infection or disease, it can smack a bit close to "Well, anyone who gets it deserves it."
And I know you can skip a period with the pill, but it is recommended that you don't make a habit of it, plus it costs extra money and is hardly an option for everyone.

Re: LGBTAitp - Part Nineteen
Hey, you even say "dude" sometimes! We are the same person.
Most products ought to post "Warning: This product might randomly kill you" somewhere on them. Even if it would usually just be in small print somewhere. But seriously, the number of seemingly harmless things I've managed to make go horribly wrong...it's a miracle I'm still alive.
Aside from that, I meant to comment on this last thread. But, as usual, KenderWizard has stated my opinion for me and in much more eloquent fashion. There's even a personal anecdote in there.
Let me just throw in a statistic I vaguely remember from something I read last year: in some study done sometime in the last couple of years, around 15% of American girls ages 7-8 had already entered puberty (but not necessarily begun menstruating). I think the numbers varied a bit by race and affluence (which affects nutrition), but the average was around 15%. Would you expect an eight-year-old to know about TSS or have been given any kind of health/sex ed yet?Jude P.

Re: LGBTAitp - Part Nineteen
Wow, I'm new to these threads, and I'm so glad they exist. I've been going through the questioning phase to end up as a homosexual today. The thing is, I tend to enjoy charisma builds(comes from being a multiclass nerd/thespian) and I've never played a straight character. And you wouldn't believe how much my pan Battledancer/Favored soul scarred our tomb of horrors DM(gender bended and left with nothing but a cloak for clothing due to an encounter with a gelatinous cube).
Anyways, thanks for being here, I've yet to check out Rain but I doubt I'll be disappointed.
I guess it's truly out now, at least for my forum avatar.
Also, I've been meaning to add the LGBTitP to my signature, but I wasn't sure what order to color it.
For those who have been intrigued as to my progress in accepting my sexuality:
SpoilerHighschool sophomore
Self opinion: Definitely gay
Parents: I told them, and they're trying to accept it but seem to be in denial. We haven't talked much on the subject, but it seems that they really don't approve but it is comforting to know they care about their son.
Friends/Classmates: several figured it out on their own, I've told several, and they're all cool with it, even my D&D group's "homophobe" was cool with it after I said I generally disapprove of straight chasing(ie I'm not gonna do it again, completely different person though). I rarely run into trouble with classmates because of my sexuality.
Boyfriend: haven't had one officially but had two relationships, first started fairly well, but he was a drugie, and I couldn't get him to quit, and he had loyalty issues but he is still special, it was almost kissing him at a birthday party sleep over that really made me question myself and give my feelings towards men serious thought. Current one is pretty conservative, and doesn't want to date without being a real possibillity. Yeah he says his first kiss will be at the altar, but I did get him to say that he'd kiss me if I caught him under the mistletoe. Much more sincere. Still has a dark side though.
Pride: I made a rainbow bracelet in fiber design, but I ended up accidentally using teal instead of blue. Whoops! I have yet to join my school's GSA, but I really want to, although I don't know what my parents will say about it.
Hmm, wail of the banshee how much I am willing to tell complete strangers. I'd say weird, but wail of the banshee is so much better.
