Herzlich Willkommen! 🙂 I don't have more than a few words of German, but your English is quite good. We have some other members on this forum who live in Germany, and I'm sure you'll get a chance to talk with some of them. The cool thing about being on here is that there's lots of people from around the world, of different genders and cultures and ages. It is a good thing to have a close friend that you can talk with. I hope that you are able to improve your life and feelings and find peace. -

I don't have much relationship experience outside of my current family....and nothing real before age 26. But from what you describe, here's my take: Your GF probably shouldn't be talking with somebody in a seemingly romantic manner behind your back. But how far she has been going is kind of an unknown. Perhaps there's an innocent explanation, perhaps there isn't. You don't know. She handed you her phone, so either she didn't think you'd go through it or she legitimately thinks she's being honest and has nothing to hide. You don't know. So, there's two major unknowns and I sense quite a bit of anger and mistrust. No matter who is right or wrong, does that sound like a healthy environment for either of you? Since your first sentence mentions her as your now "ex" girlfriend, is that something you regret? If she's not in your life in a romantic way, is there a need to continue feeling angry, or would it be better to find a way to move on and forgive? -

Maybe, but maybe not. I know a city near me in my deep red state where it could happen. Although it is just as likely that there wouldn't be any demonstrators from either side standing outdoors, as most folks are too busy working. I wonder if in the areas where one of the sides is more in the minority, that minority is more vocal. At least around here, it is the minority of loud radical leftists (and less often, loud ultra-right supremacists) that usually create the conflict and disorder. Perhaps California has the same issue with a minority of loud right-wingers? I think there are folks who believe that volume makes up for lack of numbers. -

Oh heavens, 12 minutes away from my house. I think more will come out on this, and I do think the ones with the fists deliberately came to make trouble and show it off. When they pan out on the shot though, the actual number, while violent were small. -

@Willow Wow. That's some difficult stuff to process. I hope the family has strong bonds and a good support network. Whether the overdose was accidental or not, taking large amounts of a substance usually is intentional for some reason or other. Folks typically don't do that because they're feeling good about themselves....and its a sad thing when it ends badly. I know puberty is a mess for just about everybody, but it is triply messy for those of us who don't know what we are, can't figure it out, or know for sure but can't do anything about it. I wish our society could approach adolescence with a bit of flexibility. People are seldom the same at 18 or 28 as they were at 13. -

That is what my Profile says is my Joined date for the Forums. I went back and found my first post in the Introductions Forum. What an adventure, and the Members and staff here have made this a special place for me ever since. Somewhere in that time I got asked to be a Moderator and most recently one of the Admins. WOW, both a significant responsibility and sometimes a totally heartwarming and uplifting set of feelings. Thank all of you for taking part in the Forums and letting me be part of your lives on your paths of discovery and growth. -

The only difference between this scene and one in a deep Red state, is that in a Red state there wouldn't be any pro-LGBT demonstrators outside the school board meeting. BTW, Glendale is considered a "very liberal" city as far as voting. I therefore think quite a few of these folks were from outside the area. Carolyn Marie -

One of our maxims here on the Forums is that IF you have any questions at all about your gender, you are NOT Cis Gender, and thus Trans Gender. What we can't say is exactly what you are under the Trans Spectrum, that is a journey for you and a therapist to go on and discover. Where are you going to take your Trans self to be comfortable and authentic is the real question. It can be as little as the decision to be less like your birth gender's expectations of behavior, profession, trade and possibly your family care role. These are mostly a matter of attitude. They can go to complete Transition on the other end. Give yourself permission to act as you feel without shame and you are on your way. Stick around, read what is here, find a Gender Therapist, don't overthink life or try to be what is uncomfortable and BE YOU. -

It is certainly good news. Federal judges have been instrumental in civil rights for a long time. Pity that 45 got to appoint so many as McConnell had blocked so many nominations by the Obama administration. Hugs, Charlize -

Tiffany i remember feeling much the same. I only allowed myself to go out as myself when i was far away from my neighborhood. Perhaps that was good way to gain confidence but ti was difficult at best. When i did go to local gay bars it seemed quite safe. after all if someone knew me there....... why were they there? I kinda figured it was a mutual silence thing. I'm glad you have your wife there with you. Being with another woman makes it much easier. Most of all try to enjoy yourself! It was an amazing, if at times scary, journey for me. Hugs, Charlize -

Will I wear a skirt tomorrow? I really want to, in public... Why are these urges so strong? -

The thing is I am still very anxious about telling anyone and what I would have to go through. I fear that I lose the love nad support of my brother and sisters and my mom and I fear to lose my closest dear friends. But I will tell it one friend now since i have now a bit more confidence. He is gay and is a big supporter of transrights. We talked about such things a lot and he is a very caring and empathetic person. That would propably my next step but I now want to go to a therapist in this matter and even contacted her already. -

Take several deep breaths and try to let go of anger. Big Hugs Charlize
