"Blood is thicker than water" that was first said in 1903 I think by Kasier Wilhem II of Germany, the reason for this quote was becouse his mother was british and his father was german and becouse he was german and had a deficient left arm, Wilhelm felt and did felt that wasn't accepted in the family (the Saxe-Coubough Gota family wich btw Queen Elizabeth II is descendent). Every time he tried to approach his british and russian cousins just to meet up or to make a treaty, he was always misunderstood (but don't think Wilhem was like the best, he didn't like jews and was a bit of absolute ruler).

[@thewitheredsouls]

Ah, one thing I could find about a switched meaning was that it comes from "blood is thicker than milk" - milk referring to a mothers milk and blood to a string bond between people (not necessarily romantic ) . That apparently cane from the Arabic language. Maybe it's both phrases kinda melting into a new one?

I relate to part of your story alot. I'm pretty sure I'm FTM (definitely not Cis tho). And I've always loved masculine and feminine things.

Not cis." I already knew I wasn't straight,but gender was uncertain. And it still is, but I'm not trying to force a label on myself. Only for it to not fit me later. I have changed my pronouns and name though which feels more... Right is the only way to say it. Sorry for just rambling alot. I just relate to this alot and I couldn't help but comment

*gently intakes oxygen * I came out as pansexual to my mother five years ago. I was constantly bullied and threatened at school, and when my mom said I'd have a husband, I broke down. I told her I was pan. She said I was bi, because obviously she knows more than me even though she's straight.... The next year, I tried to tell her I'm trans. I tried to come to her because I wanted to end myself and in my moment of weakness, my mother rejected me... She yelled at me and took away my tablet and internet. She yelled at my sister too, because she actually stood up for me. My sister is ace-aero and I support her. My mother still doesn't accept her and never will. She has an easy route of escape though. She is a senior in highschool, and she plans on getting crazy during college and I'm supporting her through it! Your story really speaks to me, because we have a similar situation. My dad is trying but, it still hurts because he's using she/her pronouns and I've asked him to change... He refuses to until I'm around 28. He won't accept me because apparently, it's a phase..... The only reason he listened is because he was losing me for God -knows how long. I was in the hospital because I wanted to unalive myself. I came out to my dad and my grandparents. So far, my grandparents and siblings are the only ones who accept me. They know my actual name and call me it as frequently as possible. They realized that I was being true. Hearing someone like you say that you accept me, it makes me feel a little better. I still feel like I belong somewhere besides my gay friend's arms. If you've gotten this far, thanks. 🌈❤

The first person I came out to as trans was my mom, I was terrified and prepared for the worst. It didn't even phase her, she held me and told me "You'll always be my child and I'll always love you." I was a mess at that point, I've only come out to a few people and I figured she'd be the hardest one to talk to. It was a pleasant surprise

Pax: *talking about moving out if you feel unsafe when coming out to your family* Me: Well I'm only 12 years old. I can't move in with my friends. I've came out to my mom because I thought maybe she would accept me and let me get a binder and a haircut. She claimed she accepted me yet she wont use my name nor my pronouns and called me crazy for asking for a binder. I'm scared to come out to my grandparents because they're extremely toxic and emotionally/verbally abuse me, and i live with them. I'm gonna wait until i get a job and I'm going to buy myself a binder but for now, I go by ash and i wear my uncles clothes or my grandfather's. I came out to my biological father and he was really accepting, but my mother doesnt approve of us talking due to what he's done in the past. I'm willing to give him a second chance though. He's given me someone to talk to. I love him. But he's like 5 hours away and I'm not gonna be able to meet him until I get my license and a car. I'm hoping to move in with him one day or at least be able to see him and my half brothers. I might text him tonight. My aunt's bf is another person i really trust that i can talk to.

I came out to my parents recently as a bi-ace, but they told me its a phase and that "I'm too young" to like people of the same gender (Keep in mind I'm 13). They also said I'm "going against nature". I'm really starting to question whether my sexuality is a phase or not? Are my parents being homophobic in a way?? My parent's accept people from the lgbtq+ community, but for some reason they don't accept me, their own friggin child... (My friendos are supportive though and don't invalidate my feelings, so thats good). Its like I'm coming out of the closet and being shoved back in ;w; Any advice?

[@finch8703]

Maybe try and tell them that other animals (not people) can also like the same gender so it isn't going against nature. Also, it's completely fine if it does happen to be a phase! I went from being lesbian, to panromantic, to biromantic, to lesbian, to homoromantic, etc. Experimenting with labels is completely fine. And you don't even have to label yourself if you don't want.

Hey, I just wanted to share my story as I listen to this calming video. I hope you don’t mind. I’m not part of the lgbtq+ community, but I’ve had trouble with accepting myself because a lot of people I grew up with were very stereotypical and close-minded. When I started to be less shy, become so much more comfortable in my own skin by being a tomboy, and be a total introvert with a passion for writing, I was always being stared at like a freak. I still am sometimes. But I know now that I can wear that title like a king’s crown. At least I’m not a homophobic idiot who thinks that everyone needs to follow these things called gender roles just because society said so. I went through a period in my life where all I could think was: *who the heck am I? what am I? why do I hate what I see in the mirror?! WHY!?* Now, I know who I am. *I am a child of God. I am a writer. I am a friend. I am me.* Now, I know what I am. *I am a human being, just like everyone else here, and I deserve to be treated like one.* Now, I know where I stand. *I stand with you.. with all of you. All of you have stories and hopes and dreams and passions and talents... and I’m here, existing alongside all of you.* This is who I am, and I couldn’t be prouder.

(Trigger warning???) I’m not doing well mentally due to my dysphoria but my dad is homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist and all..he hates and wants to blow everyone who isn’t perfect to him up! He scares me at times and he hates that his “daughter” crossdresses.. I try my best to get men’s clothes and stuff. I have some trousers and quite a few shirts and some shoes but.. I still have to wear a bra and girls underwear and socks.. and have to have longer hair.. it really sucks and I cry and my irl friends a a bit worried about me due to it.. I’ve started cutting again too.. I really don’t know what to do since it’s way too unsafe for me.. I’m scared to come out to mum in case she does tell dad too..

You seem like the type of person to give love to others as long as you do that you deserve to seek out those who love you dysphoria can be hard and things can really hurt and listening to those around you can seriously change you but please remember that you are a complete life you are a human can you have much potential you have to learn to surround yourself even if it can be hard and someday I hope full heartedly that you can work up 2 a point where possibly you can feel comfortable just knowing that your identity is feeling comfortable with yourself. Doing self-harm is something that is very hard to get out of but please don't give up on life because you have much potential to give to others if you just give it some time and trying to be better with yourself it may take years it may take months just please don't give up do it for the people who love you or the people you love. It's okay to be scared just try your best it may not be okay and that's not all right if you are in danger just hang on and find all the energy you can to work up to making yourself better

[@Mrblueskyyy33]

Thank you for this Pax

[@boopboops22]

Going through a friends death can be very hard but you should know that you truly deserve love and that it's okay to continue loving that person and it's okay to take your time with grief continue to love others allow yourself to be loved and hopefully you can work up to expressing how you feel about people and I'm sure that if you surround yourself with the right people they will be more than happy to hear your opinion and take better care of you just make sure you take care of them :)

[@masicbemester]

I'm a pan (or likely poly or omni) demiboy in a straight relationship, so I look like a cis straight dude on the surface. I came out last year and my family is pretty progressive and supportive. They didn't care that much about me coming out because my two older brothers are gay and pan respectively. We don't disrespect others on gender or orientation. Basically my privilege makes me look more like an ally than a member of the community. I'm grateful for the people around me since the only thing I've been ever bullied for was being autistic and even then, I was lucky to have my older sister defend me in elementary. My girlfriend wasn't so lucky because her school was a nightmare. We started our relationship almost two years ago, a month before the pandemic was declared.

[@sonnysama16]

Coming out as trans is terrifying. Coming from experience, I'm actually not trans but genderfluid, but have two trans kids and a kid who is genderfluid. Coming out as trans is terrifying and can lead to parents treating you like shit for being the opposite gender. Well, me being genderfluid and coming out to my parents and saying I'm not only pansexual/polygamous but also genderfluid, that lead to even worse treatment than I had before. Granted, I tried telling a friend I had who is a trans woman, but she ended up just saying I wasn't actually genderfluid because I had a preferred pronoun, even going as far as to say "You're either a man or a woman, no exceptions", which to this day still pisses me off. For those who don't know, genderfluid doesn't mean you're nonbinary. It means your gender fluctuates based on how you feel, hence the word "genderfluid". Being genderfluid can also be confusing considering I look like a boy but at times sound like a woman (my voice is very low pitched for a woman) and the only thing separating me from a man is giant titties, which I don't like having (more because I find them inconvenient). At times I'll want to identify as a man and at times I want to identify as they/them, but for convenience's sake, I identify as a woman. In short of my ramblings, I know how it feels to be rejected the way a trans person would, even though I'm not trans.

[@System_Spark]

I can’t pin point when I came out. But I can pin point when it hit me. Granted, it wasn’t a sudden wave of acceptance, but I remember being 16, watching a tv show (yes, I know, cliche) with a trans character and they addressed dysphoria and how to cope over a few episodes. After about five episodes focusing on that character, it smacked me in the face. And then the spiral of denial and self hatred began. And it was INTENSE. I had nightmares with certain parts of me in searing pain, fell into an episode of psychosis (I already had a history with it in childhood), and before I even had the chance to accept myself, I heard my step dad say some pretty horrific things about a trans woman on some drama reality callout style show (like Springer or something). I locked it in a box until I was 18 and went through some traumatic events. It turned into overcorrection and being super masculine, which just isn’t me, I’m more of an androgynous kind of guy. One friend was up to date every second of the way, despite neither of us knowing what the hell was going on. Slowly, I came out to my boyfriend, then a cousin, and eventually my mom. I actually don’t know who all knows anymore, but have gotten to the point that I’m Jayden now and if I find out that someone in my family wasn’t aware, I’d just let them know. My family has never been super kind to me, my mom is trying to accept it and my siblings were accepting when I came out to them, but everyone else...sorry, but you already made the choice to abandon me when I was a child, I really don’t need your approval as an adult, so accept it or leave :)

I totally didn't cry- They even gave me a great idea for coming out to my parents, since we joke around in my household a lot. One day when I get the chance, i'm going to hide little Bisexual pride flags all over the place (and pray my parents know what they mean-) All I have to do is save up some money and have my *supportive* grandma take me to the mall- I would just say "grandma" but one of them is just- no- so uh heheh- So theres my little life story, thanks for not getting bored :D

[@sinkpig]

I've lived as a man for about 4-5 years now and i kept it a secret from my family for the whole time. Theres a limit to how long you can keep things like that a secret I've come to realize. Throughout the years I've also become more comfortable blurring gender lines. I've had time to heal from my parents and started to explore on my own what it means to be myself. Still i cant have a sit down with them to actually explain what has been going on, to show them who i really am. They see me as an unfeeling robot when in reality im a dog-like person and am actually very empathetic. I had to show an unattached, apathetic side towards them because of the pain they put me through. They have been some of the only people that ever gave me any trouble for being trans and they have been the ones to hurt me the most. If any of u got this far let me tell you, no one can tell you who you are. Stay true to yourself always. Also, im sorry for the paragraph and loose sentences, i take this as more of a vent

Also, I've moved out so I can live independently and there's not enough pressure to come out. I'm also not very good at making friends with people, I feel like I don't trust anyone much enough to tell about such a personal thing. It distresses me to be completely closeted about everything, but it's even more distressing to think about coming out. I also feel overwhelmed by trying to find a good therapist I can trust. It's like whatever choice I made, I can't win. And I feel like this situation has been going on for way too long for me and it really have started to isolate me socially.

My whole trans story comes from the place when I would call myself "so straight that if I was a guy I would be gay".
