Advice Column

 Dear readers, I have decided that I will start doing some advice related blogs. If you need any advice on anything at all, please drop your questions in the comments! I'll start today with some general questions, specifically on LGBTQ+ topics, however your questions don't have to be about that. Starting off with a common one - How do I come out? This question is one that many people have, and probably every queer person at some point has wondered this, and there isn't really one answer. If it's safe to come out, and you will not be at risk, then I do think it is a good idea. However, safety is one of the most important things, and you should never jeopardize that. If you are in a safe environment with people you know will be accepting, I think that the best way to come out is either in a conversation, or with a letter. Also, if you are ready to come out, you should be ready to answer up some follow-up questions about you, what you are, what you identify as, and what th...

Falling for Straight Girls

Dear reader, Hello. It’s Ash again. And I’m here to talk about falling in love with straight girls. If you are a lesbian, or bisexual, or pan, or any non man loving other non men, chances are you’ve fell for a straight girl, and gotten your heart broken. And me? I’m no different. I fell head over heels for a straight girl. She probably doesn’t even remember me. But I remember her, and I will for the rest of my life. She was 1 and a half years older than me, and stunning, at least to me. She had a boyfriend, and was kind, and funny, and amazing. She would hug me sometimes, or brush her leg against mine, and I knew it was in that straight girl way. But it made me die inside. Let’s also bring up the fact that girls can be so overly affectionate. Like, what’s that about? You’re straight, but you’ll hold my hand and tell me I’m pretty and say I’m the best ever? It makes zero sense! So please, straight girls, be clearer with your actions. If you’re currently falling for a straight person, I’...

X Ray Vision and Pink or Blue

 Dear readers, Hello. My name is Ash, and I’m genderfluid. And I know what you’re probably thinking. What are you really? And to that, reader, I say: non of your goddamn business. Even if you had X-Ray Vision and saw through my pants, (incredibly weird) it wouldn’t make me one gender or the other. Because what I wear and what I look like doesn’t make me a boy or a girl. So, the point of this post is that you don’t have to ‘pass’ to be transgender or nonbinary, or anything under the umbrella. You can just be. And that’s fine. The world however, often does not see it that way. It’s either pink or blue. Choose cheerleading or sports. Which is bullshit. Colors and activities don’t determine your identity, and neither do body parts. But that’s not what people see.  So me. I’m worried about coming out to my friends. I’m hopeful some will agree to use they/them pronouns for me, but that’s not even what I want. What I want is for you to call me what I want to be called on that day. Bu...
