That's so wonderful, congrats! Kids can really "get it", even more than us adults sometimes!
I second yeehaw's suggestion. That is a great book.
She may think that now, but that can change. It may be that she is just not as far along on the self-realization and acceptance journey as you...
Yes, all of this. Do not keep this to yourself. Document it all and TELL people. Be your own advocate, and build a support network around...
Yeah, have to agree with inamirrordarkly. That is seriously manipulative. Coupled with the anger and violence you described earlier, this...
Yes, learning to trust yourself and how you feel can be hard to do, but yeehaw is right in advising that approach. Your brain can make up all...
That's so amazing, Gagirl! My experience was similar. It's painful and confusing, but it can and does work out in the end. You never know where...
What? Wow, that's nuts.

I know how you feel. I felt the same way with my husband. It just felt...wrong. I felt like I was being dishonest with him and myself. I'm...
Oh wow, I just saw this. I don't know how I missed it before. Long thread, I guess. SiennaFire, you have some of the wisest words I have ever...
Beautifully said, Highlander2. As far as we know, we only get one shot at this life thing. It is just foolish to spend it trapped in a web of...
This is certainly true. Even South Africa had marriage equality a good ten years or so before we got it. And, given their troubled civil rights...
Congrats! That is a milestone. It can be a scary door for sure, but once you go through it, you're through, and it's a huge relief. Now on to...
