Closeted - Tumblr Posts
It's strange what time can do.......
One day your a little girl that all the other kids avoid, scared of death, yet you think you were born to die, and scared frozen watching the creatures that watch you.
The next your a questioning who you are. Chasing death to ecaspe being made fun of, and all the drama. Being labeled with Depression and the feeling that the "creatures" are your only friends.
The next your a closed trans boy still dealing with Depression. Plus new found Dysphoria. Still being made fun of every now and then. But now you have friends that truly care about you. Now you are not alone, you have something to live for, and don't have to fake your emotions to make anyone happy.
Shout out to my step dad who was like "don't have sex and have kids before marriage and don't do drugs" and I told him I have no interest in sex or drugs because I'm #asexual (he don't know that) and I just don't wanna do drugs and he told me "You don't have to tell me those things to make me happy you're young you'll wanna do that stuff" and when I said no he was like it's ok, that was an awkward conversation for at a public pool, and in general
Oh great elder gays of tumblr, please peer review/peer edit my coming out text to my dad. Each time he’s though it was a phase or me trying to fit into a friend group.
Coming out to dad
Hey dad, I need to talk to you about something. I’ve brought it up before and I feel the need to do it again. I have known for a long time, since before I knew my new friends and before I knew Shaughn. I am trans. I am a transgender woman and am bisexual. I feel uncomfortable in my body beyond that of a regular teenage boy. I don’t want to have any body or facial hair, I don’t like my voice or the idea of my voice getting lower, instead wanting to have a high, soft, feminine voice. I don’t want to have a male body and instead want to have a more feminine figure (although I know that this won’t happen till I’m 18 at least). I want to wear more girls clothes and go by Ivy and use she/her. This is such a large part of why I hate cutting my hair so much, and why I hate having chest hair so much. I know that as my dad you will always love me, and that’s why I am trusting you with this information.

Hey y'all. I wanna come out as trans to my friend but i dont really know how. If anyone has any tips that'd be helpful (i also know my friend isn't like transphobic or anything it's just hard to come out to people)
I made this as a subtle pan pride icon bc I’m pan but only halfway out of the closet and I like cupcakes a lot haha. If anyone wants to use it feel free!

Izzy is a lil grumpy guy
One of my cover ideas for my book that I decided to scrap, but wanted to share it anyways. My book will hopefully be published soon on Amazon, just finishing all the illustrations ^_^
Pride honestly fills me with such happiness and sadness at the same time. On one hand I am so happy to see LGBTQ+ people out loud and proud about who they are and it fills me with so much joy. On the other hand I want to cry knowing that I am not in a safe space to come out right now, and do not have the courage to do so. I wish I could be out there with you guys, cheering and chanting. I wish I could find a girlfriend and love her unapologetically. Maybe someday, but as for right now I applaud everyone who is out and just know that you have all my love and support from here in the closet 💗
So all week my brother has been talking about an episode of a Netflix show with what he calls the most annoying person ever. He went on and on about how he and his friend made fun of this guy and were hoping and cheering for him to lose. We finally decided to watch this as a family.
You want to know what was so wrong about the guy? He was gay.
When I said that he wasn’t annoying my brothers answer was “well you are used to drag”
I really worry for the young straights, because they so easily fall victim to their parents outdated views and I hate that my own brother is homophobic. Granted he doesn’t know about me, but I’m not entirely sure that would change anything to
I swear to any deity listening, if I have to spend the whole day listening to my fathers conservative podcasts playing cuz that man never uses earbuds, I am going to throw hands.
“I’m a boy” I say as I shower
“I’m a boy” I say as I put on a bra
“I’m a boy” I say as I’m told to wear a dress for an event
“I’m a boy” I say as I get referred to as she/her for the billionth time
“I’m a boy” I say as my parents describe me as their daughter
“I’m a boy” I say, over and over and over again. Just, not out loud, because to everyone else, I’ll never be a boy.
When I was in like 2nd maybe third grade, we had a presentation about boy scouts and girlscouts, my mom said that I should join girl scouts and that it would be so much fun, but from the presentation alone I could tell I wouldn't like it, I exclaimed that day " I WISH I WAS A BOY SO I COULD JOIN BOY SCOUTS" then it hit me, earlier in the presentation the boyscouts rep was like " and if you have a brother, the girls can join in to!" And this I made an evil plan to get my lil bro into boyscouts so I could tag along, problem, they stopped the whole program by time my younger brother was old enough and I never got to join. I remember vividly that the presentation mainly had things like this
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Girls
We're gonna learn to bake
Sell cookies
And design bows and friendship bracelets
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Boys
We get to shoot off rockets
Make our own wooden toy cars and race them
And learn about the great outdoors
I'm honestly surprised that my parents still haven't caught onto the fact I'm trans yet, especially from that presentation, my eyes lit up when they said rockets yet I looked half asleep through the girl scouts one,
Damn right it would, and I. Not ashamed of it LMAO

hi this is me
closeted culture is trying to find ways to express your pride during june without outing yourself

trans people, how do you feel about your deadname*?
a) hate it, wish changing my name removed its existence.
b) really dislike it, hope to never hear it again.
c) dislike it, would rather not use it for people.
d) neutral, it’s just a name now who cares.
e) like it, it’s a nice name but not for me.
f) love it, it really is a good name and it’s a shame it was wasted on me.
g) other, more nuanced opinion (notes).
h) didn’t change my name.
i) cisgender button
*how you feel about the name itself, not how you feel about being deadnamed
Ugh. This is what my dad sounds like. And mom.
If someone says that they don’t support BLM or Pride, because “everyone should be treated equally” and “it’s not equal if they get special privileges”, are they racist/homophobic? I just got into a big fight with my parents about this. My dad voted for Trump, is white & straight, and works in business. But he gets mad when I call him racist/transphobic/misogynistic, etc because he “doesn’t care what other people do” so long as it doesn’t affect him. My mom is an independent, hated Trump, and is more liberal than my dad, but she has a lot of the same views as my dad. She doesn’t support feminists because she believes they’re all “men-haters” that would make fun of her for choosing to be a stay at home mom, she says “all lives matter”, and when I told her my friend was bi, she said she had to discuss if I was allowed to sleep over at her house anymore! Even though she came out like 5 years ago to me and nothing weird has happened. Wtf, Mom. She also told me that she’d be fine if I was a lesbian but she’d “prefer” if I wasn’t because it would be “easier” for her. And one time she mentioned that her aunt was never married or even dated, so I said, “maybe she’s ace or aro” and she said, “what’s that mean” and as I told her, she interrupted me and said, “I don’t have room in my brain to learn any of theses new words.” Huh, Mom. I don’t remember you saying that when I told you about a cool new animal or invention I told you about.
Is this a Gen X thing? Like, they just want to ignore anything that doesn’t affect them and they cannot deal with change? Because I’m pretty sure this is the mindset of a lot of adults I know.
