Fun fact I was working with my one coworker and I've worked with them for months now and I saw a "love" with rainbow tattooed on their arm and I said "oh that's cool what did you get that for?" and they said "Riss I'm gay lol" I never knew but I was like well then good for you

I can spot a gay person, I usually know. IDK HOW!!! My manager, first time I saw him I was like "oh yeah, he's gay"... He showed up on my "people you may know" tab on FB and what do you know? He's dating another man.. I knew it.

I have been partying for a week, hosting a music festival at my house. On sunday I wore a mini skirt with a rainbow tank crop top. It was my first time skirting and it felt GREAT! I got zero push back and my people were really supportive. Just had to get that out.

trying to be sensitive and respectful to everyone, please don't be offended when someone like me uses the wrong pronoun! I am trying to adjust after 65 years of he or she

Me too. I'm trying to find ways to just leave the pronoun out entirely, until I know which I should use. I'm hoping more people will have the courage to tell me and others, "Hey, my pronoun preference is ___." I will thank them for helping me to get it right.

So can you talk to him? As the manager, he may be able to get the pronoun thing straightened out in a team meeting... ? Not by naming you specifically, but maybe as a general thing for everyone. It's been in the news, so it is more mainstream now.

I see the day coming when this issue will be taken as seriously as sexual harassment. Because it is a form of that.

Thank you for being so considerate

Now that I know that he's for sure not going to judge me, as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I'll ask.

I cant wait.

Glad to hear it!

Unfortunately, I see this being easier/faster/more accepted in some areas than others. If you're young and mobile, find a "good" place to settle down. If you can't do that, then do your best to make your location a "good" place.

Not everyone marches in protests, but we can all be activists in our own way.

I started a new job.

I am now "New girl"...

Nobody besides people on the internet know that I prefer to not be gendered. Its scary to Tell people. My Parents are , accepting of the LGBTQ+ community , but I'm scared of being judged or being accused of seeking attention.

I'm just confused, really. I'd like to tell them to please not call me she, or her... or "new girl". I just don't want my new nickname to be "weird new girl". I'm so prideful online, but I cower in shame in real life. and for WHAT! I'm such an ally, but I cant even support myself. I feel like I'm just seeking attention, or trying to be different.

or maybe I really am non binary.

its probably just trauma, really. So used to being accused of seeking attention. Can't do anything without thinking "am I just an annoying attention seeker".. usually the answer is yes, but the thoughts I have when I'm alone, with nobody to seek attention from tells a different story.

No sage advice here — just . It’s not much, but at least I can say: You are who you are meant to be. You are not wrong. You are not fake. You deserve attention.

One more .
