National Coming Out Day Round-up!

This is your reminder that you don't have to come out today.

If you don't feel ready, if you're not in a supportive environment, or you just plain don't want to, you don't have to come out.

We're fighting for a world where, in the future, we won't even have to HAVE National Coming Out Day because various sexual and romantic orientations and gender identity will just be expected and accepted.

^ Our 17-year-old Youth Voice Mia wrote this amazing piece for Teen Vogue: "Being a Black-American, Muslim, and LGBTQ+ teen in Texas has been incredibly hard."

^ And LGBTQ+ teacher Sarah wrote up some advice for when you can't be out at home: "Time you can spend in safe situations without hiding who you are will make the moments when you must protect yourself more bearable."

^ Don't forget we've got an entire Coming Out playlist on TikTok with lots of tips, stories, and advice here.

^ And an entire guide to the coming out process here!

Heyyy

Does anyone have any coming out tips?

Or step by step instructions?

I'm non binary, and think it's about time I come out :))

Uh. This is so dumb to ask but in a few years i'm planning to do me a surgery you know become a ✨trans man✨ but like I was thinking that I need advice to how to do it. And I know you are a trans and you already passed so I was wondering if you got anything to say to me. Got any medication for after the surgery. Mostly how can I tell my family i'm trans. Asking for a friend

OH. I haven’t gotten meds or surgery yet sadly, but good for you! As for coming out,

I told my family right away. I told my ma that I was lesbian when I learned abt LGBT and she accepted me, so I was thinking she would accept me on this, too. (She did lol). If I were to give you ⏃ script to go by, I’d give you this.

“[parental guardian(s)], I am Trans. I use [insert pronouns here] and [insert name here] and if you mess up, that’s ok. But please, if you don’t accept me, then you aren’t allowing me to be me. So please accept me to be who I am. Thank you.”

Also, everyone comes out on their own terms, so if you aren’t comfy with it, then wait. And if they don’t accept that, or you, then FUCK THEM!!! THAT’S RUDE! THAT’S THEIR CHILD THATS SUPPOSED TO BE HAPPY!! TELL THEM TO FUCK OFF!

…or to just leave you alone to live your life.

Hope it helps, and good luck! :]

Anyone have any tips for coming out to family?

I know for a fact they’re accepting and I’d be safe but I hate sharing personal things (idk why) but I want to tell them.

hello!!! Im trans (ftm) and im trying to come out to my family because im tired of not being able to feel like im me when im with them. does anyone have any tips on how to come out as trans to a not exactly transphobic but not supportive family?

my family is supportive of me being a “lesbian” but they dont know im actually trans and bi (maybe? still questioning) but they also dont exactly support transgender ideals and stuff? they refuse to respect pronouns, though for other people they seem to respect preferred names. they know i go by Ace at school and stuff but they kind of ignore it, and when they first found out, they seemed upset and confused.

honestly im just kinda tired of cringing and hurting every time they say “my daughter did this” or “she did that” or “deadname said this” or whatever but i have really severe anxiety and selective mutism so it makes it hard for me to get it over with. my brain is a constant track of the worst possible scenario for every situation and it makes stuff like this extremely uncomfortable and stressful.

anyways i really need some help from other people who’ve overcame this situation and have some positive thoughts and ideas for me. thank youuu <333

Hello, I’m Ameera a 23 years old Muslim lesbian who is trying to come out, I’ve been in the closet with my girlfriend for way too long, because of how dangerous and hard it is to come out as a lesbian to a religious Muslim family, but me and my girlfriend have decided to do whatever it takes and risk it all to come out, do you mind supporting and encouraging us?, we have the plan to go away which is why I have my donation campaign pinned on my profile, if I raise at least that goal I can start the process with my savings, I can’t come out until I’d gotten my apartment and I’m away from family, so please support by donating if you can and help reblog though I know we all have what we dealing with, so I’m not imposing we just need all the support and encouragement we can get, check my pinned post for more information on how you can support, if you are a Muslim queer and you are out, please help with tips on how to make it less complicated, any word of advice is also really needed, we really wanna come out but we need y’all 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ pride please come through for us, I believe pride is for all

Omg I'm so happy you and your girlfriend are coming out, I really hope everything goes okay

Unfortunately I can't colaborate much :( The coin in my country is at a very low price, and its worth, like, 5 usa dolars. I don't have the money to colaborate and my family is agnostic so I don't have any tips 😔 But I really really really wish everything goes alright and you get everything worked up for your coming out.

I wish you all good ❤

Pride be upon ya

imagine if after the transmigration shen qingqiu became a combination of shen yuan and shen jiu, not in a "second person living in my head" kind of way, but a "this house is haunted and carries the echoes of the dead" kind of way; imagine shen yuan having nightmares about a house, a fire, a faceless boy behind a door he can't remember; imagine him having flashes of emotions he doesn't understand, rage at a name he doesn't recognize, helplessness when yue qingyuan apologizes for something he won't mention, nausea when ning yingying says the name "a-luo"; imagine parts of his own self have changed too, how he now likes bows in his hair, pretty flowers and flowing robes, but can no longer stand a stranger's touch, a man's touch, yet he longs for the brothels, but never sexually, only fondly, like there's something there he misses. there are many empty spaces in his heart where he feels something is missing

[starry-bi-sky]

on a completely separate note; shizun luo binghe with a disciple shen yuan who fell into the abyss??? *thinks about LBH canonically stealing SQQ's corpse for 5 years* he'd hallucinate i think. like, like visual and audial hallucinations.

Keeps thinking he's seeing SQQ in the corner of his eyes, or wandering between the trees, amongst a group of disciples. Thinks he hears him calling for him, but its just the wind or another disciple.

Gets Xiu Ya reforged but patently fucking refuses to make a sword mound. Because his disciple Is Not Dead :))) There was No Body. He's Not Dead. And If You keep Insisting That He Is, He's Gonna Skewer You :). He's holding onto Xiu Ya so he can return his most favored disciple's sword when he returns. It's on his hip right next to Zheng Yang where it's supposed to be.

Also this motherfucker?? does not sleep btw. He has the image of SQQ, wide eyed and hysterical and standing at the mouth of the abyss burned into his fucking eyelids. Can't use the dreamscape to escape it either because he keeps trying to save him and either he does and it's an incredibly cruel trick to wake up to, or he doesn't and he gets his heart broken in several different pieces again.

There is no convincing this man that Shen Qingqiu is dead. Absolutely nothing at all. He is buried so deep in denial that moles would be jealous of how deep he is. He keeps making tea for two in the bamboo house only to remember that it's just him. SQQ's fans are hiding everywhere, little reminders of his presence. He goes to wake up SQQ on the mornings he sleeps in-- only to find the room empty.

Trouble in paradise #1: coming out

Might change the name who knows, anyway when the main project is too much and you can't handle working on it what do we do? start a side project of course!

Sanji: Honestly, I can't believe you! You have someone as pretty as Boa Hancock obsessing over you and you don't even--

Luffy: Sanji's prettier though

Sanji: I

Sanji: What??

Luffy: I guess Hancock looks nice. For a girl anyway. But Sanji's way, way prettier than she is

Sanji: *squeaks* O-oh

[scoriarose]

one thing i see a bit with disco elysium fan script is a conflation between a failed skill check and bad advice from a skill. one of the beautiful things about DE is the skills are not arbiters of truth; successful checks won’t always lead to the correct outcomes, and a skill level being too high can impair you. in that sense, a failed passive (“anti-passive” according to wiki) wouldn’t be a skill giving bad advice, but a skill failing to fulfill its duty.

(bad example ahead) so it wouldn’t be:

LOGIC [Trivial - Failure]: Stick a fork in the toaster.

but more like:

BREAD-TOASTER: You peek into the narrow opening at the top of the electric bread-toaster.

PERCEPTION: You find a slice of bread wedged between the filaments. Smoke wafts into your nostrils. It’s burning, and you seemingly have no way of retrieving it.

INTERFACING [Challenging - Success]: The metal fork you found in the cupboard. It should be both long and sturdy enough for the job.

You: Grab the fork.

INLAND EMPIRE [Medium - Success]: The tips of your fingers tingle. This seems like a very bad idea.

LOGIC [Easy - Failure]: You are uncertain of the outcome here.

1. Use the fork to fish out the toast.

2. “This is beneath me.”

3. [Half-Light - Godly 16] Establish dominance. Fuck the toaster.
