LGBTAI+ #59: Will You Take This Woman To Be Your Galpal?
Notice: This is mostly a support thread. There is an LGBTAI+ Q&A Thread right here.
The AI is for All-Inclusive because we have only so much space in the title, but everyone, regardless of orientation, direction, letter, acronym or chosen astrological symbol is welcome here!
We do, unfortunately, have a few rules. We are not an anarchist state! Or, we weren't until we voted we were? But shush.
1. We are primarily a support thread.
This means that the primary focus should be in helping people here feel better; about themselves, about their lives, about their problems. We are also an education thread, but when helping someone learn involves not supporting, we will default to support - Mostly. We are only mostly human, after all.
All of the other rules are basically precisions of rule #1.
2. If you want answers to triggering topics, spoiler-box or ask them privately.
Triggering topics are those which are likely to make other people feel bad, in any way whatsoever: for instance, rape, violence, bullying and many others may be triggering to some people. If someone, even just that one individual person, has a problem with a topic because it stirs demons best left in their pit, Do. Not. Bring. It. Up. Publicly. Use a spoiler box and think carefully about whether this is the place to broach the topic at all (see rule #1: "We are primarily a support thread.")
If you have questions or need help on something that involves triggering topics, please use spoiler tags and label your spoilers for trigger warnings. When in doubt, put trigger warnings.
3. Avoid discussing politics or religion.
It doesn't matter how much these two topics intersect with our forum topic, they are verboten. Sometimes, hints are...looked over, such as, "Man, in my country being gay sucks," but detail is right out, and even that could be considered willful disregard. Be careful. As the moderators themselves often say, if you aren't sure, don't.
4. Do not discuss moral justification.
No one here is going to discuss whether or not it's Right" or "Okay" to be LGBTAEIOUsometimesY or anything else. It's not topical, it's not relevant. We are, and we are here to cope with that and with the stresses it causes.
And no, my joking acronym doesn't constitute considering this rule less important.
5. Do not post sexually explicit content.
It's against forum rules, it's against decorum, and it will get us shut down pretty fast. What adults do behind closed doors is cool, and allusion is fine. Anything that could involve a diagram, though? No.
6. Avoid unfriendly debates.
Several topics of conversation have created huge arguments that made several people uncomfortable and defied our goal of being a support thread. This is especially true debates of definition. These do not always end well, and are best avoided.
Fight Club, AKA things we do not talk about.
This thread has a past of traumatic experiences which we would rather not repeat, and some topics which have created (in)famous rows include:
- The precise distinction between bi- and pansexual;
- What is or isn't a polyamorous relationship;
- Whether transgender is more correct than transgendered.
- Whether people who have homosexual sex should be able to give blood.
(Other topics may be added to the list.)
Unless you need support or help about this, please refrain from bringing up these topics.
Also, if a conversation that is not about support runs long, spoiler it if possible, even if it is polite.
Glossary of Common Terms
For reference, here is a list of commonly-used words in our community along with their definitions. Please keep in mind that this vocabulary is constantly evolving and that this list may not be complete. Any contributions to the list are appreciated.
SpoilerLGBT: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans*
LGBTAI: LGBT+Asexual/Aromantic/Agender+Intersex/All-Inclusive
QUILTBAG:
Q - Queer and Questioning
U - Unidentified
I - Intersex
L - Lesbian
T - Transgender/Transsexual
B - Bisexual
A - Asexual/Aromantic/Agender
G - Gay, Genderqueer
GSRM: Gender, Sexuality, and Romantic Minorities; sometimes only GSM
Where a word below is in italics, that means it has its own entry on the list.
A note on labels: many of these labels are seemingly interchangeable, and for some people they are. However, please do not presume to correct or judge another person's use of a label. Bisexual and pansexual are especially tricky in this regard, as are transgender and transsexual to a lesser degree.
Often the difference in why one person feels one label is appropriate and not another is deeply personal. If you wish to know more it is probably a topic to seek private advice on, from one of the people listed in the next section.
AFAB/AMAB: Assigned Female/Male at Birth.
Agender: Someone who lacks a gender.
Androgyne: Gender Identity with male and female aspects.
Androsexual: A person who is attracted to men.
Asexual: A person who does not feel sexual attraction.
Assignment/Assigned Gender:-The gender which someone is assigned at birth.
Bigender: Someone who identifies as both male and female (or as any two genders) either simultaneously or alternating. See also Genderqueer, Genderfluid
Binary, The: See: Gender Binary.
Bisexual: 1. attracted to two genders; 2. attracted to one's own gender and another gender; 3. attracted to various genders; 4. attracted to people regardless of gender; 5. ask the person who says they're bi what exactly they mean by that. See also Pansexual
Cis: See: Cisgender
Cisgender (CG): Somebody whose gender and sex align.
Demisexual: A person who is sexually attracted to someone only after they have formed an intense emotional relationship with them.
Dysphoria: The etymological opposite of "euphoria." A state of unease or generalized dissatisfaction. In this context, generally referring to the discomfort or dissociation Trans* people feel with their own body.
Male-to-Female (MtF): Someone who was assigned male at birth, but is female. (AKA: trans woman)
Female: See: Woman
Female-to-Male (FtM): Someone who was assigned female at birth, but is male. (AKA: trans man)
FAAB: Female Assigned at Birth.
Feminine: Something generally associated by society with women.
FFS: Facial Feminization Surgery: Surgery to reduce chin/nose/cheekbones. Associated primarily with MAAB Trans people
FtM: See: Female to Male
Gay: See: homosexual.
Gender Binary: The commonly held notion that there are only men and women on two extremes, with nothing in between.
Gender Expression (GE): How one expresses their Gender Identity to society.
Gender Identity (GI): How one feels inside society's idea of "man, woman, or other".
Genderfluid: Someone who fluctuates between different genders.
Genderqueer (GQ): Someone who is not of a binary gender; someone who is neither male nor female.
Gynosexual: A person who is attracted to women.
Heterosexual: A person who is attracted to members of the opposite gender.
Homosexual: A person who is attracted to members of their own gender.
HRT: Hormone replacement therapy. MtF's tend to progesterone, estrogens and androgen blockers, while FtM's take testosterone almost exclusively.
Lesbian: A woman who is attracted to women.
MAAB: Male Assigned at Birth.
Male-to-Female (MtF): Someone who was assigned male at birth, but is female. (AKA: trans woman)
Man/men: A cis man or trans man. Male.
Masculine: Something generally associated by society with men.
Pansexual: A person who is attracted to people regardless of gender. See also Bisexual
Polyamorous: A person who is interested in a relationship with more than one person.
Presenting: Trans* shorthand for appearing as their preferred gender, regardless of any HRT, SRS or other changes.
Trans*: Transsexual and Transgender primarily, with the asterisk denoting that the trans- prefix could be followed by any number of appropriate words. It also includes other labels, and is a catch-all term for people who identify as something other than their biological sex at birth.
Note: While "Trans*" was at one time preferred terminology, of late it has become seen as problematic for various reasons, and is being phased out of use. The preferred term at this time is simply "Trans". You use the term in the definition of dysphoria.
Also, FtM and MtF are sometimes seen as problematic, and i've been seeing a lot more 'Trans man/Trans woman' for target gender, moving on to 'Trans-feminine/Trans-masculine' which describes the direction of change, but does not define an end point.
"Transsexual" is also being phased out as being a bit obsessed with crotch bits and orientation linked either to the cis obsession with genital configuration, or the proven false idea that transgender people are just "super gay".
Transgender: Used in reference to a person whose sex(body) and gender(mind) are at odds or do not match. A transgender person can also identify as genderqueer, transsexual, or may use transgender as their only identity.
Transitioning: The process a Trans* person undergoes to move to their preferred gender. Often includes HRT, SRS, FFS.
Transsexual: In common terms the same as transgender above. In medical terms refers specifically to people who wish to transition from male to female or female to male, not accommodating any other options.
SRS: Sex Reassignment Surgery: Surgery to replace/transform a vagina into a penis, or vice versa. Mastectomies or plastic surgery may be used on breasts.
Sexual Orientation (SO): How one identifies who they are attracted to.
Significant Other(s) (SO): Person(s) you are in a relationship with.
Third-gendered: Someone who fits in a local society's third gender, usually male performing female tasks, occasionally vice versa. Also a person who feels they do not identify with any other gender identity.
Woman: A cis woman or trans woman. Female.
Allies: Heterosexual-Cisgender people who support equality for sexual, gender, and romantic minorities.
Aromantic: a person who does not experience romantic attraction.
Non-Binary: Same as Genderqueer.
Enby: Shortened form of "Non-binary".
Private Consultation.
We have a list of people who are willing and able to discuss topics that may not be thread-appropriate but are still topical. They can be reached by Personal Message (PM), thought they may not respond immediately, or may be on sabbatical.
Don't be afraid to reach out and talk to them.
Many of us on the list are more than willing to listen to your questions or concerns and will not just lash out in hostility or anger.

Some people are also willing to talk off-board, through Skype or email or other means; this is especially useful if your question involves board-forbidden topics such as religion or politics. Also, we can't (and ethically shouldn't!) give medical advice. If you need medical advice, please see a professional!
And as a parting note, I will say that even though moderators do not read PMs, they are still part of the forum and still subject to forums rules. Non-allowed topics and discussion should NOT be conducted via PM.

Webcomics that touch on... Well, everything related to the thread.
SpoilerVenus Envy. Long dead webcomic. The creator has chosen not to continue it and move forward in life.
Rain. A story of a MtF girl in high school.
Khaos Komix.As the creator puts it(from his site): "A complete GLBTWTFBBQ comic about gender and sexuality. (Trigger warnings for EVERYTHING and nothing is safe for work.)"
Always Raining Here. "Adrian is heartsick, Carter is horny. This is a story about their misadventures as awkward teenagers as they fumble through unrequited romances."
Tripping over you.An awkward blind date leads to better options.
Questionable Content. The LGBTA characters are fairly well done, and not stereotypes.
What's normal anyway. "What’s Normal Anyway? is a comic that discusses the trans male experience through the story of Mel, who takes the big risk of being himself and transitioning from female to male."
Princess. A webcomic.
Twokinds. Keveak: "It generally portrays GRSM matters positively and is quite a nice tale overall."
Misfile The Rose Dragon: "Ash is a young boy who, as a result of a screw-up in Heaven, gets stuck in a girl's body in a life he doesn't recognize, and has to deal with the changes and challenges of his new body while trying to get back his old life. Supernatural hijinks and car racing are involved."
Portside Stories A cute(and recently started) webcomic.
El Goonish Shive A long running webcomic, that I've heard often touches on lgbta relevant stuff.
Validation A Slice of Life webcomic focusing on Ally, a young transgender woman, just living her life.
Wildflowers A self proclaimed triggering comic dealing with suicide, depression, dysphoria and more.
Check, Please! It’s a story about hockey and friendship and bros and trying to find yourself during the best 4 years of your life.
I know I missed a few webcomics, and if anyone finds more, feel free to PM them to me with a brief description, and I will add them.
And a picture made by the Giant to celebrate gay marriage legalization in America.

Re: LGBTAI+ #58: Will You be My Galpal?
Well, since there's a new thread, I may as well start posting again. It's been months.
I was only able to work for a couple of weeks before I had to stop due to medical issues, namely fatigue. I had a cancer scare, but a couple days ago the tests came back normal. Leukemia would've been an answer to why I'm so tired all the time, though. My primary care physician has started using the term "chronic fatigue syndrome".
The past few months haven't been completely empty, however. I've started going to a support group for trans women, and I'm having lunch with the ladies from that group every week.
I've been thinking about continuing my education, this time for a job that wouldn't require much physical activity (since I can't handle much of that these days). I've been wanting to be an endocrinologist for a while, but I'm thinking of pursuing a degree in counseling instead, since that would be more realistic and I could still help other trans people. There's a school not far from my home that is CACREP accredited, but...it has a problem I can't talk about without violating certain board rules.
Regardless of what path I choose, money will also be a problem. Most easy-to-get jobs require more physical activity or more interacting with strangers than I can stand. I've been thinking of reviving an old dream of being a writer to get just a bit of money, but starting out is always hard. I've been considering posting my poetry in these forums as a way to start. Getting the attention of even one or two people would be massively helpful.

Shouldn't this be thread 59?
And as for the slower ace, I think some of that also has to do with some of the bigger contributors no longer being on the boards.

Re: LGBTAI+ #58: Will You be My Galpal?
Welp, just hit send on the email to my only blood relatives on this continent, telling them not to contact me again until they're prepared to do so with basic respect instead of disappointment and disgust. Which, knowing my parents, will be never.
It sucks that I can't have them in my life any more because of their toxic prejudices and inability to keep their biases to themselves.
It really sucks that they won't even have the decency to admit that they want to cut me out of their lives because they disapprove of me being gay: they will force me to be the "bad guy" and shun poor innocent them, who have never done a thing in the world to deserve such unfair treatment.My awesome avatar by the lovely "the_fennecfox"

Re: LGBTAI+ #59: Will You Take This Woman To Be Your Galpal?
i just feel so stuck in terms of outcomes: my friends all express hope that my parents will come around and stop being toxic people, but the hardest parts of the last few years have been the times when they have seemed the most reasonable and I have built up hope that I'll be able to reestablish the positive relationship I had with them when I was a kid and before I came out, only to have that hope dashed when they go back to being ****ty again. The easiest parts have been when I haven't been in contact with them for a month or two. So chances are the more positive their reaction to this, the more difficult and painful it will be in the long term?
But I can't stop hoping that their next reasonable response will be genuine and "stick". My mum replied this morning saying that she wanted time to consider what I had said, but that she wasn't ignoring me and that she still loves me. Which is on the face of it a very mature and reasonable response. I can't help hoping that there will be a positive outcome...but the more I hope the more dashed I become next time it all falls apart...My awesome avatar by the lovely "the_fennecfox"

I am stressed. I am planning a trip to see my long distance boyfriend (who I saw this May at my place) but I don't know if my passport will arrive in time for the planned trip, and I am scared of going out of the country and how people, aside from react to me being me, trans* and out, especially security and such, since I'm pre/non-op.

You got this. You'll have a wonderful time with a wonderful guy. Go play some games or something to take your mind off the future, and enjoy it when it becomes the present.
Edit: As a side note, a friend just stood me up on a pre-arranged hanging out. It's not LGBT related, but I'm feeling kinda lonely right now. :(
Hope everyone else is doing better.Last edited by JNAProductions; 2017-09-17 at 07:03 PM.

There's a show on commercial TV here called "This Time Next Year". They bring an Ordinary PersonTM on, ask them what they want to be/do/have/change by This Time Next YearTM, and then through the Magic of TelevisionTM they come back on with their grand transformation.
I'm watching it for the first time ever, and there's a trans woman - what she wants This Time Next YearTM is to be living her life as female. And as far as I can tell, it's handled pretty well, no misgendering or anything that I've noticed so far.The Iron Avatarist Hall of Fame!
