Abortion poll (may be triggering)

Yes, abortion rights. It doesn't mean you personally want to exercise those rights.

 

I'm pro-choice, because I don't want to impose my will on others, and the constitution favors pro-choice much more than it does help the idea of being pro-life

 

Hmm. Well I definitely do NOT recommend walking on the interstate XD. Could you have your dad drop you off somewhere near the center and then just walk over to it?

 

Pro-choice.

 

"Abortion" topic doesnt really suit this forum of LGBT people. It just doesn't

 

What's that supposed to mean?

 

@MerBer,

Hmm, from what I am seeing it isn't really a center at all it's just in the basement of a Lutheran Church it is in a residential neighborhood.

I don't suppose your dad would believe you wanted to go to church there XD

 

Yes, Time Out Youth is apparently in the basement of this church. And Lutheran is like a German protestant denomination. My great grandmother was German and she was one so that's how I know.

And hmm, that's kewl of your dad to be accepting <3

 

As a transgirl, I come down on the pro-choice side. Personally, what really annoys me about the debate is when people talk about how it is irresponsible for a woman to go around having a bunch of sex and then get rid of the consequence of that behavior. I'm sorry, but I see choosing not to have a child you can't handle or won't treat right as more responsible than carrying it to term.

 

Aww, well, okay, and I'm just going to say this and I am NOT forcing you into anything, but if you are sure he will accept it, I would recommend (just my personal opinion) telling him. Cuz like it's something that sits on your mind and stresses you out even if you don't know it's doing that, and like when I finally came out to my parents, words just started spilling out of me it was like having a meltdown XD it isn't healthy to keep this secret if you don't have to.

Like, I know it's scary and it seems easier to just leave it alone, but seriously it is like getting your ears pierced. It's a quick pinch and then it's over and you are SO glad you do it. As soon as you say the words, trust me Meris, you will feel SUCH relief.

But anyway, this advice is only, ONLY if you sure he will accept you and not be bad about it. And it's just that, my advice, my opinion, nothing more. You have to do what feels right <3

 

Yeah I understand that. It's veeery kewl of him to say that and you know what it probably means? Your secret isn't a secret at all, and he has probably already guessed it. Our parents know us better than we think. My mom guessed I was trans and that is like not even on the radar for most people O.O

 

I'm male and think that's something that should be decided by women.

 

@MerBer,

Does your sister know you're gay or did she just know about the crush?

And yeah....it's not a phase XD it's never a phase. My sister tried for years to tell herself it was, but just, no, lolz. Cuz like this is something that has been with you since birth even if you didn't realize it, so it's not just going to change.

 

I get that. I mean I don't "get that" cuz I have never even wanted to ever change or be anything but a girl (I never wanted to WANT to be male at ALL). But I understand why you would feel that way. And I'm going to be honest with you Meris obviously, it does make life harder! My sister and her gf have put up with a LOT of crap down in good old North Carolina, and I am not saying this to scare your or anything I am just keepin it reals.

But you can't let that make you want to change who you are. So you like girls, so WHAT? I can't see why that is still such an f'ng big deal with people, like who gives a fuck? I don't know. People are stupid but you can't let their bigotry make you uncomfortable with your identity <3

And your sister sounds like a pain, to me.

I know this lesbian who I used to work with and she dates guys and it makes her extremely unhappy and repressed. All she does is sit there and talk about what girls she thinks are hot and then she dates these dorky dudes when it's obvious she wants to be with another girl...
