A UK based TERF organisation fighting against trans rights in India makes absolutely no sense to me.
If this were any other issue before the Supreme Court, people would be rejecting then calling this as our internal matter.
But when it comes to trans people, suddenly those same matters to be up for debate. This is disgusting.

Mod post [Meta]🛡️ Collaborators of the regressive right (BJP, RSS, बददिमाग़ सनातनी), have no place on this subreddit

102 Upvotes

This community is not open to collaborators.

We see no reason to welcome those who support movements that threaten our existance and endanger all that we have worked so hard to achieve.

We owe it to those who have sacrificed so much to get us to this point to make sure to not let traitors amongst us leech off us to push their own regressive ideas.

BJP and its sister organisations and affiliated movements that peddle hate and treat our existence like a joke, are a threat to our existence, and we will NOT tolerate any content here by their apologisers who collaborate with them and try to defend them.

Collaborators are just as responsible for all the suffering and death queer people have had to endure under the current ruling political establishment, and we have no desire to treat these individuals with the kind of basic human decency they threaten to take away from us.

Protecting our rights starts with not tolerating such individuals.

This is where we must take our stand!!

Discussion💬 I hate the concept of coming out!!!!!

12 Upvotes

The notion that we have to come out has always been irrational and quite Frankly disrespectful to me ,its like we are accepting that whatever society says about us is true, we are different, abnormal etc.

Why should we have to come out ????

Why are we made to be vulnerable and share what we like to do behind the 4walls of our bedroom ??? With consenting adults!!!!

World has never been kind to anything or anyone who falls outside of what a mob can understand to be "normal" and coming out just seems like fueling the fire for your own pyre .

I do get the emotional part of wanting to be seen by the people we love ,but even then it becomes a power struggle, you hand the power over to the person you're coming out too , your mood , your own self image ,if it goes well it goes, well good for you but if it doesn't ? , gosh i cannot even try and imagine the scars of people like us who didn't have the Disney coming out story to share on here .

I'm going through this situation right now, and honestly, I'm confused about how I should feel or handle this friendship. Part of me feels hurt, but I also don't know if I'm overthinking things.

If you were in my place, what would you do? Would you try to save the friendship or walk away? I'd genuinely appreciate your advice. 🥹

Advice 👋/ Help❗ How to look after old age parents if you’re abroad?

2 Upvotes

Early apologies for spilling my personal life here. I don’t have anyone else to talk to about this.

For context I’m (28, M) currently abroad and am closing in on the pathway to citizenship. I have a more stable career path in healthcare in the country I live in presently and hence the move. In the event it happens (by the looks of it .. seemingly unlikely at times) and I do become a citizen, I constantly fret about my parents health and mental wellbeing.

I’m not out to my parents yet and doubt if I ever want to come out because they’ll probably never accept it or it might come at the cost of a mental breakdown and/or physical health issues (dad’s a cardiac patient as it is). Plus, Ive never felt the need to come out really unless it’s due to societal marriage pressure.

My parents are financially well off, don’t engage in anything risky health wise thankfully, and are generally very responsible people. They’re not perfect parents and Ive generally had a very loving childhood albeit the usual issues with my mum and dad not being very understanding of millennial/gen z issues. This has led to tiny rifts in my relationship with dad especially. But on the whole things are okay.

However, they chose to retire in a godforsaken tiny town without much amenities and refuse to move to an apartment in the city close to a hospital. Dad is exceptionally stubborn and has massive health anxiety issues, refuses any help at all etc. They’re okay for now but wont be for too long because thats human nature - and I’m so so scared that something will happen to them and I’ll fall apart because my only sibling and I are both abroad. And she being a girl isn’t as expected to look after my parents compared to me. I don’t mind looking after my parents at all provided they listened to me and didn’t dismiss my advices for their health.

Tricky situation as it is, topped off by me being gay and perpetually single without a partner or friends or family really to help me out? Caregiving is very hard and I’m at my wits end thinking of a plan. Plus, just overthinking about what might happen to me in my old age when I’m old and single with health issues.

Does anyone have any advice about this? Has anyone moved back home from abroad to sort this out and support their parents? How do you manage caregiving (for example for a parent with chronic illness) with having a partner? Or without a partner or anyone really for support? Please let me know if thats alright thank you!

Question❓ LGBTQ+ riders inappropriate touching on Rapido

3 Upvotes

LGBTQ+ riders: Have you experienced inappropriate touching during Rapido rides?

With increasing discussions about riders touching Rapido captains inappropriately, and captains touching riders, I wanted to ask the LGBTQ+ community—has this happened to you, and what do you do to avoid or handle such situations?

I did a quick Google search and came across discussions suggesting that people in the community sometimes use certain gestures/signals to communicate or indicate boundaries. I wasn't aware of these, and honestly don't think I did anything like that. It made me wonder if there are other things people know or do that could help avoid misunderstandings or unwanted situations.

P.S. I did have a captain use his hands to adjust his pants from the back and repeatedly touch my crotch. He would even keep moving back so he could touch me. Once I understood what was happening, I asked him to stop, but he sped up and did not listen. I complained to Rapido afterward, and they said they would terminate his employment, but I don't know what ultimately happened.

Has anyone else experienced something similar?

Lucy Darling (aka Carisa Hendrix) and Will Burkart are so good with what they do. They both are very strong allies of LGBTQ and no wonder they get so much attention of the Queer Audience.

Both of them are super Amazing with their work and simply the best.

Also Will is so fckin hot, of course half of his audience are gay men. Even I have been lowkey crushing on him for a very long time.

Coming Out!!! Finally finally got my HRT 🥳

11 Upvotes

Taking out my report out of my wardrobe itself was like a national security threat when I was with my parents that led me to failed attempts and heated arguments I started taking steps to get my Progynova (estrogen) from multiple psychologists appointments, getting appointment of endocrinologist and then somehow managed to get my dad to attend a psychiatrist session with me but that did not help luckily I got a opportunity to move to Bangalore and in span of 22 days I completed my psychiatrist sessions, got my gender dysphoria certificate to finally getting my HRT am so excited to start my medication but I’ll be holding on to this just because my mom asked me one thing "I want to play with my grandkids" I said ok so last step is I do cryopreservation just for my mom then start on my HRT. The only thing that makes me my parents argue is about me being transgender choosing a life to live as a woman but I know for a fact that my mom will be there for me and understand down the lane, it’s for her ❤️

Speedy got my hands on estrogen yayayayay 🥳❤️❤️💕

Discussion💬 What do i do 💀

7 Upvotes

So basically im secretly a femboy, like im straight but i like wearing feminine dresses, makeup and accessories. So I have never dated anyone in my life, and potentially would only want to date a girl who supports me in my crossdressing, but the main problem is, how do i know if a girl likes such guys, if i get into a relationship with a girl who doesnt like such guys, she might get creeped out. I dont want to come out publicly as it is not safe atp.
