I would ask over in Transgaf but the thread there is fairly inactive: any tips for a transgirl trying to learn makeup and dress more feminine occasionally? I never have a chance and with hormones not being an option anytime soon I'm getting anxious.

It really depends.

Women come in all shapes, sizes and forms and their attire is just as varied.

Tell me with make up what are you thinking in your head?

What do picture for your type of feminity? Like my very own and the way I would advise someone is much different then many other kinds because the type of woman I am.

I don't think I want to look super heavily made up, but I'm thinking lipstick and eyeshadow. Maybe blush. My head always goes to 50s style red lipstick. I always imagine myself in either a flowing dress or a white top and red skirt. It's hard to explain, I suppose.

Hmm honestly I don't think I can help you.

I have two modes.

Body Builder Fem Broly mode and Super Whore with crazy make up and showing off my tits, ass, and legs.

Try the Trans thread, it is actually active with some people who share your taste and can help guide ya.

Having a great four day weekend after requesting off from work, got some things done, finished some games, still slowly getting over my cold. But the worst part of these kinds of breaks is that my mind begins to have bad thoughts too when I've got no one else to spend time with to distract me. Video games can only go so far.

This may be a sensitive topic, but what is everyone's experience with gay bullying as a kid? I thought about this after seeing Moonlight last weekend (very good).

I was never bullied for being gay since I wasn't out then and didn't read as "gay" to most of my peers. Did observe a gay bullying growing up though, which kind of reinforced my staying in the closet. Has led to a bit of survivor's guilt (although this feeling can't be as bad as the trauma inflicted on bullied LGBT youth.).

I was a very cruel child.

Ruthless and homophobic. Granted I wanted to just be left alone but if a male ever crossed me I would snap and slurs went flying. Nothing racial but certainly homophobic.

Then I ended up a Trans Lesbian.

It is one of the few things I regret is using those slurs regardless of the victims sexuality.

Cruel, cold and a good liar is a crazy combo.

I try to make up for it by being in constant AMA mode and doing out reaches to young Lesbians who need help.

As the only brown kid in my year at school I find it surprising in retrospect how much veiled and overt homophobia I had thrown at me...way more than any kind of racism which is what I would have expected (live in the UK...but being brought up there made me more anglicized I suppose). Of course what made all this more annoying was that I was in the closet and in denial of my sexuality.

I left school for university in 2011 though...a lot has changed since then I gather. Homophobia is still there of course, but less than maybe what I faced at school.

I remember in middle school people would ask my friends if I was gay all the time but I was never really bullied for it. There was the occasional slur thrown my way but it was more in a school yard, "I'm not developed enough to think of a competent insult" kind of way.

I do remember in gym class this one kid asked me if people in my religion were allowed to be gay. And I was like no we stone them to death. And he was like... that's awesome. I'll never forget that it was such an odd moment for me. Like why did I say that first of all it's not even true. And why did he think that was awesome? But it's whatever.

Was called "gay" and "f**" a lot when I was younger. Outside of that, I wasn't ever really bullied for it. I doubt I will be in the three months of school I have left. I've always tried to stand up for people who were.

Yep I was bullied for being bi and black. Why I hit the gym so hard now, mental health is still messed up though. But that is due to more then just bullying.

Never got bullied in the traditional sense, except for one incident when "f**" was etched into my locker. However, I was pretty much forced out of the closet by one of my best friends in grade ten (I went to a small school of about ~200 students, so word spread fast) which felt quite degrading. No one really hated me for being gay, and I was never embarrassed about who I was, but the fact that some people felt that it was okay to hasten my coming out for their own amusement really upset me at the time. There was a long period afterwards where I was just "the gay kid," which I hated, since there's [obviously] a lot more to me outside my sexuality. It was annoying, but they didn't have malicious intent for the most part.

There were, however, two lesbians at my school that were often faced with physical abuse. I'm not sure why I had it so easy compared to them.

Never really existed at my high school outside of the usual gay jokes. Then again I didn't know many LGBT-folks around there either. We had an open lesbian girl whom I'm friends with but no one discriminated against her, especially since we would have bashed in their teeths if they dared lol.

I have to mention that our high school system in Germany is a little bit different, it is tiered after which kind of graduation certificate you're able to achieve. Usually those high schools of lower tier are infamous for a terrible environment to grow up in. I was in the highest tier and that usually comes with a very open minded environment.

Similar experience - luckily never any bullying as I wasn't out. Did however go to a crappy middle school in small Suffolk where everything was called gay.

I wasn't really bullied directly, as I wasn't out back in the Mittelstufe (agewise it would be around the middle school in the US, i guess). Dudebros threw around the words gay/faggot around a lot, though. i.e. everything that sucked was gay and everyone who wasn't cool was faggot, of course. But one time before class I and a few pupils were a litte early and this dumb girl announces to the class (mostly her friendcycle), that statistically one person in each given class has to be gay. Then she turns around and asks me how it is, to be the gay one. Didn't really have any consequences to get "outed" like that, as most of the people present didn't take her shit seriously. Still, fuck you, Anne.

And after an argument in the Oberstufe I was once told, "at least I am not a faggot". I'm sure it sucked to be him in that class though, as we were around 5 queer people there. And the rest didn't have any problems with it. He and his one friend were kinda outsiders beforehand though.

my older brother uses "gay" as an insult now. its like the opposite; i thought that stuff usually gets out of your system with age. I think his friends got him on to it, cause he pretty much started using it to describe things when he's playing online with them. then shortly after, everything was gay. i also hear them using "f****t" occasionally.

My family tells him to knock it off every once in a while, but he's practically an adult now so...

I'm pretty sure if I was out he wouldn't be using those terms but alas 🤐

Never really had a problem with that since it wasn't known back then to anyone that I'm into guys. Had some "experiments" on the side with guys but nobody else in my class or in my cycle of friends knew about those, I think. My grandma suspected something since I hung out a lot with one guy in particular. She got a good sense for that kind of stuff heh.

She was talking about how Trump gets things done and has already done more good than Hillary would have done, how he isn't taking any money from anyone and I shouldn't believe everything about Trump from the dishonest media. How us liberals are cry babies. She took a dig at me about having two degrees but nothing to show for it. I didn't pop off because a customer came in at that moment.

She is a fool.

I'm sorry you she couldn't refrain from resorting to personal attacks.

It's not a cause worth being apart of when she has to tear down good people such as yourself. Hopefully one day she will get that.

I was never bullied for same-sex attraction, or even anything at all for that matter. I was firmly in the closet and still practically am. I was one of those guys who was just kinda there. Not incredibly popular, but generally liked because I was inoffensive I suppose.

Of course, growing up in Texas, I heard slurs a lot and some people called everything they didn't like "gay." There was no way in hell I'd let any of them know about my attractions.
