Glad to hear you got you service dog.

Ahh I'm so happy you got the service dog!! I would do the same thing as you and just switch churches. That's complete bull that she would make you feel like that. Service dogs are extremely important and nothing to be ashamed of at all. The one thing I know for sure is our generation is going to be a lot more accepting than our parent's generation. My mom is fine with homosexuality now but she still thinks bisexuality is sick and wrong. I'm like whaaaat. I don't even want to know what she thinks about being trans or or anything else.

Oh yeah I totally agree. I fear telling my mom that I am a boy and not a girl. Her and my father are incredibly sexist and over the years my brother got such better treatment than me. Up to and including college university vs. Community college. Guess who got the community college even though my brother has a learning disability and I was straight A's through high school.

Yeah, my brothers both got much better treatment than me too. I fell to the wayside during my childhood because they both had learning disabilities and were focused on completely. I feel like if I had to breech something like that with my parents that they wouldn't believe me and would probably just think it was a phase that I would get over. I used to wish I was a boy when I was growing up because they always seemed to have it easier.

I never really wished it. I just never saw myself as a girl. I always wondered until I was old enough to understand that is, why I didn't have a penis. Then when I was old enough to understand I wondered why it felt so weird down there and why my body had to look the way it was. From early on I knew I was a boy. I had just been born in a girls body. Even the doctor was surprised when I came out a girl

Oh sorry, I didn't mean you wished it or anything! I have a close friend who is trans and he is the same way! I just mean I am female and identify as such but I'd want to be a boy sometimes because my brothers seemed to get the world when I didn't.

My friend's name is Lucas but he was born with a female body. He's on hormone treatments and has had the top surgery done so far. He's also a body builder now and has always been masculine in everything he did because nothing else ever felt right. I actually met him because he was my personal trainer at the gym! I'm really happy for him because he met a really beautiful and accepting girlfriend who loved him when he was still a 'girl' and loves him now in his right body. It can be tricky fitting into life when you don't feel like you really did from the start but Lucas has made it work and he found getting to know people in the LGTB community around here has helped out a lot for support. Surprisingly though he didn't actually meet anyone else like himself until after he had the hormones and went through the hardships of finding acceptance within his family and friends. Of course he knew other people were trans and talked to people online, but meeting someone else who had the surgery already really helped him. He's lucky though because his whole family was just like 'yeah, we know' when he told them because he was always 'one of the guys' anyway, you know? Nothing else seemed so right.

Sorry if any of this is offensive or unwelcome, I'm just using him as an example to say I hope you find support through your family and friends and that no matter what they say you have to be true to yourself and I'm so happy you got your dog and I look forward to hearing about your journey!! <3

Oh this... This is so Rage-mode for me!! I try not to get angry about things, I really do. I know I have issues with it and I do my best to control it... But dam... (also IRL friend, I know the parents and brother personally. so I know all the context here and am allowed to extra disgusted probably) I mean, I haven't come out to my parents yet about being a girl. I haven't even considered being an embarrassment to them. I'll come out after the holidays. Longest possible time before having to interact with them again in person. But enough about me. This is infuriating! I'm going to go beat up some old appliances... just call, you're welcome to join me. We can have tea afterward

Hmmm tea and destroying appliances! Sounds like a fun time
