Re: LGBTAitp 29: the Rainbow Outreach Program
Guessing? Or maybe my genuine opinion that everyone is pretty.
Or at least could be if they were better people on the inside as well....
Little known fact: There is no such thing as a pretty bigot.
Honestly, you would have to be a really bad person to get me to think you aren't beautiful...*

Re: LGBTAitp 29: the Rainbow Outreach Program
Sympathies to Keveak and Siuis.
Re: Fighting games. Uhm, there's Scarlet Weather Rhapsody which is a Touhou fighting game, so it doesn't really fall into the usual tropes. :P I don't think it's been localized though?
-----
Remember the crossdressing thing at the university of Brussels I talked about a while back? A sociologist at my uni wrote a nice public letter calling people to attention about trans* discrimination as well in this regard.
You should ask, they probably don't mind too much. My trans youth group at least is pretty lenient about age. I'm sorry to hear that the trans* group conflicts with your lessons though.

Re: LGBTAitp 29: the Rainbow Outreach Program
I don't really think courageous is the best way to describe it. I'm actually a fairly timid person. I liken everything else to being half a mile underwater: the pressure feels like it's going to kill you, so you swim up as fast as you can so you don't pop...
And then you get the bends afterwards D: !
Hurray! That's always good news. The other part, though, is how many people pay attention to the article...
I should have asked, but I was feeling awkward. I really shouldn't have, 'cause I know no one there would judge, but I couldn't really help it. I always feel awkward when entering a new social environment. After I get used to it and get to know the way things work there I open up a lot, but in the beginning it's tough.
I'll try to find a time to go back and explore a little more.

Re: LGBTAitp 29: the Rainbow Outreach Program
That's great!
*hugs and cookies*
*cookies and hugs* Hope you feel better soon! And, it seems like 197 is your magic number. Is your birthday on 15th July?
*hugs* I know that awkardness, too. I'm sometimes so shy that I'm literally unable to speak if I'm not directly adressed. Makes it very hard to get to know people. *sigh*
But I'm sure you'll have a great time there once you get to know these people better.You can call me Juniper. Please use gender-neutral pronouns (ze/hir (preferred) or they/them) when referring to me.

Re: LGBTAitp 29: the Rainbow Outreach Program
I do, sort of. My boyfriend has been in Australia since August for study abroad, he's coming back in a week and will be spending Christmas and New Year's with my family, and then a week after that it's our one-year anniversary. Aside from the potential for awkwardness from the folks, I'm really looking forward to the next month and a half.

Re: LGBTAitp 29: the Rainbow Outreach Program
Reading over this, I think I quoted the wrong thing, but I was going to say that while watching/playing with my friends through Blaz Blue, I was more interested in Noel as a character than her fanservice (though she does get some). Admittedly, it's only one data point, but I think they did an ok job of adding some dimensionality to the game beyond "scarcely clothed people beat on each other".
Sorry to hear it
While the relationship stuff may be a factor in all this, it sounds like both of these individuals (particularly the one with tendencies to self-harm) could benefit from counseling. I know it isn't easy to get folks to listen when you bring up that subject, but I would encourage you to steer them in that direction, if possible.
What makes a man turn neutral? Is it money? Power? Women? Or is he just born with a heart full of neutrality?
If it makes you feel better, I think this is actually pretty common. I know I tend to be relatively social once I get to know people, but without a friend or acquaintance around as a social catalyst, it takes me a while to get over the initial hump of interacting with others.This Machine Surrounds Hate And Forces It To Surrender

Re: LGBTAitp 29: the Rainbow Outreach Program
I KNOW RIGHT?! Mind = blown!
*more hugs* I can understand that.
Bleh, that's a really sucky situation. I have been that lovesick person who wanted to confess love to a heterosexual same-sex friend. I didn't.

Re: LGBTAitp 29: the Rainbow Outreach Program
Uhm, I will soon be doing a pretty fun project that is making me super-nervous?
...
I am not good at having good news. ^_^'
Eep, that sounds like a really scary mindset. ._.
*shudder*
I know, but I really want them to be further ahead than this. It is amazing that they even had a trans character in the eighties, but that they still cannot make Poison just be trans is just sad. It is the 2010s, we should have gotten better by now. ;_;
Also, apparently Poison is originally from Final Fight, alongside similar character, Roxy. Was the first trans characters to appear in video games, so yay for firsts! ^_^Treasured Quotes

Re: LGBTAitp 29: the Rainbow Outreach Program
"'Sup. I'm a woman."
As you may have noticed I do not have much experience with coming out. And coming out as asexual is very different from coming out as trans.
So, what is said friend's stance on transsexuality and whatnot? Can't really give a tailored suggestion without a smidge more info.Jude P.

Re: LGBTAitp 29: the Rainbow Outreach Program
2% I'll be getting mine by the time I have to start college applications. and it's better because he's gay, as long as being both gay and an eagle doesn't send him into the possible spiraling depression I'm afraid of, due to being an elite in an organization openly opposed to people of "my kind."

Re: LGBTAitp 29: the Rainbow Outreach Program
Pass along my congratulations, from one Eagle Scout to another.
Is he out to his troop, and if so how did his Board of Review go? I wasn't out to my troop about being gay, but they did know about my (lack of) religious belief, which the BSA also frowns on. Before I went through my Eagle Board my troop leaders said "The BSA's bigoted stance is BS, if they ask you questions about that just get around them without lying, don't let their bigotry prevent you from getting the award you earned," so I didn't have a problem with that, but I have a friend in another troop (also gay and non-religious) whose leaders didn't like it, told the BSA representatives for his Board, and prevented him from making Eagle.

Re: LGBTAitp 29: the Rainbow Outreach Program
This is a joke, right? A really awful joke? Please tell me it's a joke?
Hmm. Well, I'd be inclined to just go for it. Emphasise that you're still the same person, still his friend, still the Astrella he presumably likes, and that this isn't a change for you, or something that's new, it's something that you're coming to terms with but that has always been there. Like something he happened to not know, but was always there. I'd also make time to do something together that's fun and normal, but gives him a chance to ask questions and talk if he wants to. When I came out to my best friend, and I was worried about similar things, this was how I went about it and we were walking together and chatting, which was normal and pleasant but it also meant we were alone and had time to address her questions.
That's awesome! I thought Boy Scouts had a sort of don't-ask-don't-tell thing going on, though?
