Lol I’m lesbian 😉 But I’ve been trying to become straight ever since my friend went from gay to straight. (You won’t believe this) But so far it’s actually working! 😂 I was always told by people and media that I couldn’t change my sexuality and I should accept myself for who I was. They told me to give in to it... I never did tho, ahaha except for one time 😉 after that, I wanted to change so badly! I had heard a few stories of people changing but had never met anyone that did... until my friend told me she wasn’t gay anymore. She told me how she stopped and now I’m trying it and it’s working pretty well actually! (Not everything that ppl say, or the media, is right) ♥️ Love Y’all and I wish you the best of luck in everything.

I'm currently questioning and could use some advice. I'm pretty sure I'm not straight and right now I'm switching between bi and lesbian. I'm scared to tell my parents because I don't think they'll support me. I'm really confused at could definitely use some advice/support.

@two_gender How do you stop being gay? I always thought it wasn’t a choice and you just were what were and you couldn’t change it.

@poppit you can't change your sexuality. Suppressing your sexuality can be really bad for your mental health. So while accepting yourself is sometimes tough I still recommend to keep trying. You'll feel a lot better once you accept yourself 😄

@halokiwi I do agree with you that it is not good to suppress yourself 😉 But I do know a few people that have easily changed sexuality... I’m actually trying it myself... It is working so far! I still love the LGBT community and will continue to support it as long as I live, even if I’m not gay ahaha 😂🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈

@poppit This is how I’ve heard it explained, (I don’t know everything about it yet 😉) Teenagers can be like baby snakes, they can’t control there venom until they become adults. Some teens (I’m not saying this happens to everyone) who are gay find out they actually are not when they become adults. It’s really weird Haha 😂 It isn’t a very well known idea bc the media doesn’t exactly want to put it out... But I can speak a little from experience! When I was a teen I was lesbian and everyone told me I could not change... I’ve met plenty of people that have said they had so I tried it (I’m an adult now btw) So far it’s working out fine... If you want I’ll give more detail privately ahaha 😂

@two_gender The idea that people can willingly change their sexuality or gender is used against lgbt+ people all over the world in conversion therapy which has negative effects on the people who are forced to go there or willingly go there. For this reason it is being made illegal in many countries but it still happens. I've spent writing this paragraph for quite a while but I honestly don't know how to tell this to you in a way that you will believe me. Conversion therapy is harmful. Reasons people take part in it are mainly religious reasons. Studies that suggest it to be effective are not well conducted. They for example used a sample of people that publicly say that it was effective which is not representative. You're not pressuring others into believing what you do, but I feel bad for you as a person. I don't know the circumstances you live in. I don't know if you are religious. I don't know if it would be safe for you to be openly a lesbian. I don't know if people are putting pressure on you. I just hope that what you are doing to yourself is genuinely what you want for yourself. As I've said before accepting your own sexuality is not always easy. I personally found it hard to accept but I never tried to fight it because once I realised I'm not straight I knew that that's who I am. Suddenly many of my experiences growing up made sense. The first relationship I entered I thought I was a straight girl. I was struggling and I didn't know why. My mental health was at its lowest. I slowly started to realise I'm not straight. After that relationship ended it took me years to realise that actually I'm exclusively into women and that I'm not bi or pan like I initially thought. When the realisation hit me I felt relief but I also cried a lot because I realised that this is my life. I would never have a husband, I would have a wife. At some point I would have to open up to my family which still feels intimidating now but I'm less scared of it now. Knowing who I am has allowed me to see a future for myself. Growing up I never wanted to marry or have kids but now I'm looking forward to it a lot. Being able to see a future for myself like that has helped me a lot because it is something worth fighting for. I hope you have a good day 😄 |

Hello!Really exciting that you're kind of at the beginning of your journey in discovering this new aspect of yourself! I personally have known from a pretty young age that i wasn't straight, and I think part of the reason for that is my parents have quite a few lgbtq+ friends so I've always felt safe. And a little over a year ago, apart from being queer, I discovered I'm non-binary ! It's really interesting to me how I've been in the lgbtq+ community for a long time but am still going through the process of discovering myself. I also find the process really reassuring because it feels like I can't really get it wrong? Like if the way I identify changes a few years from now I know it's not because I was /wrong/ but because I'm always learning something new about myself 😊 |

Welcome!!! I hope you make many friends off of this thread, we're all accepting of who you identify as (if you identify at all!) I don't normally use labels when it comes to my sexuality (I'm attracted to who i'm attracted to, and there has been a big debate on being bi/pan in the community so i stay away from the discourse) But a fun story behind that: My mom always knew. When I was 5 I was put in a daycare, and hung out with a lot of kids. It was very obvious that I had a crush on my friend Ally (before we knew I was trans) as well as some of the boys too. My mom bet my grandmother 100 that I would turn out to like everyone, and she was right! I never saw anything wrong with liking the same gender, my mother taught me you love who you love no matter what, you're born that way and you can't change who you are. I'm very lucky i knew early on, it made accepting myself a lot easier I'm also a trans male (ftm) and I've known since I was super young. When i got into grade school, I played with the boys, didn't really do much with the girls. I always wanted to go on the boys side, because I knew I was one of them. then in about 2nd grade no one would have me on their teams, and no one wanted to be my friend. I was too girly for the boys (cooties!!!) and I was too rough for the girls. Realized that I was trans, and now here I am!! I just turned 18 yesterday, so now I can start the process o getting my name legally changed, and starting hormones and getting top surgery. I was certain for most my life, but many of my friends questioned it until they were in high school. i know some of my moms friends who are still questioning everything, despite being married. It's perfectly okay to question and try to find a label that suits you. This is YOU we're talking about, and no one else should have a say in that 🙂 My DM's are always open, both on here and other social media platforms. if you ever have any questions, just pop right in and message me!!! That goes for anyone, not just the person who made this forum. so whether you need any questions answered or just wanna chill, i got you! |
