Hi, I'm the New Kid!


Kamarka

Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm going by Kamarka here on the forums and I'm an AFAB bigender person (it's easier to tell people I'm nonbinary, since many of us use that as an umbrella term). I'm eighteen, Catholic, and very much closeted to my family. I don't plan on transitioning using medical help, but a binder on boy days keeps the dysphoria away! At the moment I'm experiencing a good deal of frustration trying to balance my self-expression with who my family expects me to be. Should they find out, I'm not sure what would happen between us, but it wouldn't be good. SO, that being said, I'm living for the day I get to love them from a distance and have my own life where I can be open about who I am and be loved by others in spite of it. 

On to happier things! I'm trying to pursue either history or creative writing as career options, and writing is my ultimate hobby, that and everything that goes with it– world-building, character design, music. I'm not an artist, but I do enjoy art, and I'm proud of my wide vocal range (since it actually really reaffirms my identity sometimes!). 

Also sometimes I'm inclined to believe that animals are better than people, but I'm sure you all are very sweet people!

Hello and welcome!  I think you'll find us all easy to get along with.

 

(Don't tell anyone I said this, but I'm with you on the animals.  My dog shows me more affection - unconditionally even - than many people have.)

Thanks!

(Yeah, I'm a big sucker for doggy kisses– slobber can be wiped, love lasts forever~)

Ha!  Yes!  I let my lab give me all kinds of kisses whenever she wants.  As a result, I get the most amazing snuggles with her.  She drapes herself over my gut in bed, she climbs into my lap on the couch, and so much more.  All because I let her put her licker license to use.  :D

Welcome Kamarka.  Hopefully in time you will be able to open up and find acceptance from your family.  In the meantime enjoy the unconditional love that your pets provide.  We also have a lab who is a service dog for my wife.  When she is free of her work she shows such enthusiastic love.  The other farm dog is a 130 lb guardian dog who lives with the goats.  He loves me but is generally aloof as his work keeps him with his herd.

 

Hugs,

 

Charlize

Greetings Kamarka and welcome to the forum.  Hopefully when you are able to set out on your own things will get better and you'll be able to speak with your family without fear.  

 

Cheers, Jani

Hello and welcome, Kamarka.

I, too, find animals to be better companions than humans sometimes.

      https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2024/04/29/1247896150/transgender-health-insurance-west-virginia-north-carolina-appeals-court     Good news, y'all.  Better get those procedures and meds down before SCOTUS takes it away again, or the R's regain power in D.C.   Carolyn Marie

      Of course, we all wish you the best of luck.  But please don't assume that a negative first reaction will be the one that sticks.  It takes time, communication and lots of love.   Carolyn Marie

      We need to learn to talk to each other again.  This place is important that way.   Abby

      Nationally, sure.  But where I live, there aren't two large segments.  There's a majority, and a few who just don't fit and probably ought to move out.  I was in a nearby city a few days back, and I saw a billboard for the "Freedom From Religion" foundation.  That's acceptable there.  Here... folks would be making a bonfire.    I don't really see how the different sides CAN get along.  I see what goes on in California, and its like watching news from some alien planet.  It has very little to do with LGBTQ+ issues, really.  I can't live their way, I won't live their way, and I have no desire to compromise at all in that direction.  I'd prefer to be neighbors in separate nations, and I think folks would get along better that way.  I firmly believe the anti-trans stuff wouldn't exist here if we had a new republic of the Center-South area.  Even a micro-state of just my county and a couple others would be fine.    I get the giggles when folks think that Trump is somehow "far right."  Around here, he's a barely-acceptable centrist.  And by the standards of 100 years ago, its true.

      I don't think the Dems have a corner on division.  I do try to kinda keep up with the antics on Fox for 5h1+s and giggles. We have two large segments of the population, living in their own bubbles, with completely opposite views of our society, who never talk to each other, only at each other. People don't even want to get along with each other. We're tearing ourselves apart from the inside, while the rest of the world just sits back and watches.

      Back again now it’s inevitable I must tell my wife for me to be happy and authentic wish me luck
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Trying to decide if I am one.  Hmmm.  It depends on the definition.  The Democrats' definition dehumanizes them, whatever they are.   I would like to see a restoration of respect for America around the world, one Obama threw away.  I would like to see factories reopen whose jobs went overseas because people like BIden wrote legislation to create a tax structure than encouraged that.  I would like to see an end to the division that Biden and Obama cause and exploit for cynical political purposes.  I would like people to be able to express themselves without fear.  I would like honest news media.  I would llike to see the federal government not push us recklessly into debt.   If that makes me MAGA, I guess I am.

      You've never encountered the Oklahoma State Troopers, then.... it isn't far from reality.  I swear they've got half an army of cops just sitting around.  On I-40, they've got big concrete pads where they sit in the middle of the highway, sometimes a row of 8 cars in one spot.  I guess they've got money to burn....

      I fenced my posting of the link.  Yep.

      Good to hear about that case, but I believe Oklahoma is in the 11th Circuit COA region along with Texas which is going to find some way to nullify this decision as far as the Oklahoma law goes, just because - - - -
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      That's a Circuit (Circus) court ruling.  Which is essentially temporary.  Most everything right now is temporary, as the Supreme Court hasn't gotten around to dealing with all the various trans-related issues from the last few years.  I really, really wish they would just bite the bullet and do their thing.  It would save us from the constant tug-of-war. "The sky is falling!".... "No it isn't.".... "But there's crap coming down."....."It landed east of here"  Whether it ends up being good or bad, I wish they'd just lance the boil and let us either have a tyranny we can fight against or a republic we don't mind living in.  Mediocrity is irritating.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      I'm sure there are some...there's just about every kind of person imaginable in our society.  And I suspect that a number of actual GOP politicians aren't really haters...it just happens to be convenient to go along.  Like most Germans in the early 20th century weren't actually anti-Semitic.  It was just that it didn't matter to them.    While I'm not friends with any politicians (well, other than local ones), the majority of folks around me aren't anti-trans.  And one of my two trans friends is a Trump supporter, with hat and all.  My other friend is a Democrat, and the three of us actually get along even when we talk politics.  Life is interesting.

      This suggests some of the problematic policies would be unenforceable if implementation were attempted.    https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/4th-circuit-gender-identity-is-a?publication_id=994764&post_id=144139815&isFreemail=true&r=rebf4&triedRedirect=true

      You can believe what you want.  But there are such.  That should not scare you.  I wonder why it does.
