So, yeah, my uncle's kind of an ass. I am bigender or genderfluid or something and I use masculine and feminine pronouns, names, and genders interchangeably. However, I tried to come out to my uncle and he said I would always be a "female", nothing could change it, and being trans was just a load of horseshit.

Don’t forget to let him know he will always be a dipshit

Well, your uncle doesn't understand what trans people are, and he's always gonna be kind of an idiot it seems. He's apparently swallowed a load of horseshit himself. Try not to take it personally, though I know how hard that can be.

Never take critism from someone you wouldn't go to for advice.

If you need a new auntie, give me a shout. I'll probably forget your birthday just like I'm certain he does, but I'll never ever disrespect your gender identity.

RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.
