Pets are so cute <3 Let's hug all the animals in the world!

I'll try it. I don't really think she'd kick me out, but I bet she wouldn't accept at first, because she's very religious and stuff, one of those people who'd say "BUT YOU CAN'T LIKE GIRLS THE BIBLE SAYS NO!!!!!!!11". I just want to do this because some days ago she asked me if I was sad because of some boy, asked if I loved some boy, etc. I ALMOST LAUGHED MY ASS OFF TBH

Hi, I'm Nathan. I'm a 19 year old transman. My sexuality is up in the air, but I currently have a boyfriend, whom I've been with for almost 3 years now. We have a flat together, 3 rats and a leopard gecko. I am pre-T, but on the NHS waiting list for the Porterbrook Clinic.

tw: physical violence for this part.

My father found out I was transgender (my mother told him) and he got very drunk and threatened me, in my fear I called the police. The police came and woke my household up, and as soon as they left he attacked me, punching and strangling me until my mother pulled him off. He told me if I wouldn't kill myself in front of him, he would kill me because I deserved to die, I was disgusting, an abomination, my grandparents would have a heart attack when they found out and it would be my fault, I was dead to him, I was a disgusting pervert that deserved to rot.. you get the picture. He had to be physically restrained by my mother because every time he could, he would lunge towards me, snarling and screaming like an animal telling me I was dead, he was going to kill me.. etc.

My mother refused to get the police involved again, even though she was physically abused by him too, because she is scared of him. The day after, my entire family pretended it never happened and I didn't even get an apology from my father. It didn't surprise me, he has been physically and mentally abusive my entire life, so really; I expected something like this. He really is a disgusting little man..

They shunned me after that, ignoring me and not inviting me places and my mother told me I just "make them so uncomfortable" so... I packed up everything and left, they didn't care. In fact, they were happy I left. I was basically forced out. I had to drop school, leave my dog, leave my friends to move; in a mad scramble, me and my bf found a flat that we could afford.

My relationship with them is.. rough. I still resent the violence and the disgusting things that he said to me, but I'm afraid to talk to him about it. My mother is mentally ill and delusional.. she tries, but our communications are tense and I'm disappointed in her. She told me she would never pick me over him, and she didn't; she picked him, I know that. Why, I don't bloody know..

I haven't been able to get a job or go back to school as I am prone to panic attacks if I am left alone and I have diagnosed depression and general anxiety which leaves me exhausted.. I stopped taking my medication for those because it gives me horrible side effects. So I do art commissions at deviantart and wherever I can get them ( see avatar) (hellhoundly.deviantart.com)

Well. that's it. If anybody ever needs to talk, or is in a similar position, don't hesitate to add me or send me a message. I like to help people. It's good..to talk..and get it off my chest.

Hey Nathan, Welcome to our family. <3

I'm sorry to hear about you upbringing. Its terrible how most of us face oppression, hate, and abuse...
No one has the right to treat us that way.. we are no different... We want lives, mates, and happiness. We have to stay strong..

hello friends!! Group appears to be full but i'll introduce myself anyway. Name's Dabin- I'm a trans boy and i'm demisexual/panromantic!! pre-op, pre-t, but finally out to my parents. I'm one of the lucky ones- they were pretty okay with the idea that i see mself as a boy, though they still won't use my preferred name, which is okay for now. I hope everyone has a nice day!

Hey Nathan! I'm so sorry to hear about that. At least you're out of that house but I hope things only get better for you.

Hi Dabin! That's great to hear! Maybe some day they'll come around with the name though :)

-This seems quite full.. O_o but people communities yay<3

My name is Ana-Maria but I prefer being called Eira, Yamirei or Nao. I self-diagnosed myself with social anxiety disorder(seriously, it's obvious) and I think some form of juvenile artrithis because I walk on my tip-toes and almost absolutely cannot walk like a normal human, says mother.
I don't even know my gender, hell if I know, but I consider myself female anyway lol. I'm a closeted homoromantic asexual and don't dare to say anything due to SAD. Literally, I can barely speak directly to my own parents. ;_;
Luckily we have this optional class thing at school which we can pick.. well it's a long story but the group of the one I picked got disbanded and I landed one called 'personal development' or something(I'm Romanian so no blame here <.<) and it's promising, I've been there only once because it started late in the school year but I hope it'll help on some level ;u;
And now back to the actual topic. I'm really pretty much an introverted literal otaku who'd rather sit at a laptop than go anywhere near the society outside. Most of my life is virtual. And that'll come in later on here.
I'm also a huge couch potato. Nopes, I stay here on my phone. And as such, my mother calls me lazy, useless etc. But that's not all. I can't much of speak with my teachers and one day I don't know what the hell got into her but because I didn't say something to my Romanian teacher she started going asdkg and called me a wild monster, an idiot, retarded and that I'd die in this life.
Well, you see, I'm always in a state of very mild depression. But that dang woman always hits that one spot which triggers it. And sometimes she just makes me want to kill myself already so I can fucking escape this living hell despite knowing that I have quite a herd of friends and an over-protective and suicidal best friend which starts worrying like all crap if I'm not online for 3 hours.
Just. My mother freaking doesn't understand. And she acts like she knows what's wrong with me: that I'm lazy, that the internet corrupted me, that I should get off my hind and do crap around the house.
In the first place, I don't know what or how to do! You've been treating me like a little kid forever! And the internet is the best thing that ever happened to me! Without it, I'd be a suicidal slob who sits on the bed all day and watches tv 24/7 trying to keep themselves away from their strong depression! Why the crap don't you try and take it slow, for God's sakes?! Taking my internet access away won't solve anything!

~clears throat~ Sorry, had to spit that out. I just ranted here like I'm in the worst situation ever :c

Is anyone in the group looking for a sub male? I have a boy that I soon won't have room for, which is sad because I'm actually quite fond of him but don't have more GB to expand my slots. I would gift him for free to a new player but would also take a trade. :)

Nathan, I'm so sorry- I came from that exact type of situation- I completely know where you're coming from! Except I am 47 now, so my Father carried on like that all my life, and back then there wasn't a lot of 'others' to talk to- you have huge numbers of "out" and visible folks to watch out there now- and even more of us in your circles here at Lioden and probably Deviantart... your work shows you have real talent, and your courage tells me you're ready to kick butt to get to a comfortable spot in the world!

Just remember, don't let their outrageous behavior shackle you. That kind of behavior would have been out of line no matter WHAT the trigger- you have had to put up with a lot of crud, get thee to a counselor who understands, ya know? And forget they exist. I would say 'until they change' but my Father died in 2008 and my Mother is in her mid-80's and she is still loyal to him- I don't think people like that ever DO change. All I can do is go forward with my life, so I totally suggest the same. Charge! It's out there!

I hate high school. I was verbally and somewhat physically assaulted today. I was cursed at and called slurs. Then a bunch of kids keep pushing on me and trying to trip me or kick me. I have a scar already on my back from my uncle. I don't want more.... but I'm good now.

Hey mystical, does your school district or city/town have an option for those not wanting to stay in high school? Like an alternative education program? I didn't know such things existed when I was in high-school - I only found out years later, that if I had talked to a school counsellor or other authority, sometimes they have options for finishing your education that don't require you to attend classes at the school. :)
In my experience, a good teacher would rather help and support you in completing your studies whichever way works best for you, rather than to see you fail or drop-out due to bullying and harassment.

(Of course, the best solution would be for administration to actually DO something about violence in their schools).

On a totally different note - Just thought I'd put it out there- that I've decided to offer free studdings to folks in the family. :) My king is a cute tabby-cat stud - nothing very special, but I'll happily offer services to those looking to introduce some diversity in their prides genes.
