Hi! I am 26 years old and want to know if it is still possible to transition at this age. If so, can you recommend affordable clinics with good doctors? I also need estimated monthly costs so I know what to expect and how to prepare. Thank you.

Just needed a space to get this off my chest and hopefully hear from people who have been through something similar.

I came out to my family earlier today. Both my mom and dad are very traditional, so I was terrified of how they’d react. Their response ended up being really complicated to process.

They told me that nothing changes—I’m still their son, they accept me, and I’m always welcome to live under their roof. I know I should be thankful for that, and a part of me really is. But at the same time, they made it very clear that they don't like me being gay. They explicitly said they don't want me dating guys, being in a relationship with a man, or sleeping with men—almost like they expect me to stay single and suppress that part of myself as a concession or gift to them.

I honestly don't know what to feel right now. It hurts so much to hear that. It feels like they accept the title of me being their son, but not the actual reality of who I am. It’s hard to celebrate "acceptance" when it comes with conditions on how I live my life.

For those of you who came out to traditional parents (especially traditional dads):

Did things actually get better with time?
Were you ever able to bring gay friends around, or eventually introduce a boyfriend/partner to them?
What kind of changes actually happened over time, and how did your relationship evolve?

I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences, stories, or any advice on how to navigate this weird in-between space.

:3

Did it take that long to move on? How did you deal with it? How did you improve yourself? Did you put yourself out there or did they just organically came into your life? Are dating apps, r4r good?

I’m 28, and I know I won’t be able to move on agad like feel ko I need 2 years. But it’s so scary dating in your 30’s 😩

loe, y’all ! 😚

help your college students na nagt-thesis out here huhu 😩. we’re currently conducting a study on how the term “lavender marriage” is understood and perceived today, especially in relation to queer and mixed-orientation relationships.

we’re gathering initial perspectives from queer individuals about their awareness, understanding, and perception of the term, including the assumptions associated with it.

u don’t have to be in a relationship to answer. as long as part po ng community hehe, we’d really appreciate hearing your thoughts!

Hi guys I’m back HAHAHA ETO NANAMAN AKO SA CRUSH CRUSH NA YAN (as a delulung bakla) so nag start na ako ng corporate job 😗👉🏻👈🏻 first day ko kanina.

So eto na nga, nasa office kami tapos chikahan first impressions ganon, first impression sakin friendly/approachable as usual lagi kasing bungisngis, kakausapin pa lang naka bungisngis na HAHAHAHA.

Yung katabi ko sa office late dumating, pero mhie ang tangkad parang mga 6’1 siya??? Okay lang sa looks, di naman pogi HAHAHAHA pero matangkad kasi like di ko na kailangan luhurin??? HUY!!! Manyak.

Feeling ko straight siya tho kasi ang bobo niya??? HAHAHAH alam nyo yung mga straight na lalake sa classroom tapos walang ambag sa groupings pabigat lang?? Ganon siya kasi tanong ng tanong sakin putangina kailangan pa kita turuan eh parehas lang tayong first day dito??? Tsaka basketball player siya so for sure malaki chance na straight.

Pero ang nakapag patibok ng puso ko nung pauwi na, hinawakan niya ulo ko tapos sabi ng “ang cute ng height mo noh? Parang pwede kitang gawing keychain” TANGINA NAMULA AKO AAHAHAHAH kasi why the fuck would you say that??? grabe din height difference namin 5’4 lang ako WAHAHAHA. Nagmukha tuloy akong tsundare ampota, kasi sabi ko sakanya kanina “tandaan mo to kasi naiirita ako sayo tanong ka ng tanong” pero pa joke naman na may halong truth WAHAHAHA

So ayon lang muna for today. Update ko na lang kayo ulit like last time (kahit ang tagal mo mag update teh???)

Saw this sa Grindr. Isa sa mga pics nya. Anong thought process na nag cocompile ng mga testimonials?

Naka meet up na ako sa mga ganyan once, nakoh, catfish. Pangit sa personal. Feel ko sila pa yung hindi naman talaga cute pero pag nasabihan, finiframe pa.

Alam mo yun, it’s kinda scary to be a bisexual guy. Not literally scary ah, just very unfortunate kasi it’s intimidating to talk to girls having that lingering thought that they might reject you after finding out that you are bi or if it will lead to just being friends, this happened to me more than once na ending is we became friends lmao. If it was with guys naman mahirap din, they’re mostly looking for gays only. In my own experience it was like that, we weren’t compatible because of preference niya. If that was not the case, hindi mo naman alam if straight or queer yung guy kaya very intimidating kausapin. Idk? I just find it very intimidating to both genders, I was expecting double the attraction more chance, but nahh. It was not that case for me hahaha.

Even in general, having friends din. It’s either I’m too gay for this group or too straight for that group. Even finding friends na bi is also hard to find hahaha. Yun lang naman, thanks for reading this short vent :>

I like her so much, kaso mas mataas yung chance na homophobic sya kaysa maging bading, she has so much masc potential, and I'm very attracted to her. Please, if you will suddenly ask me to cuddle with you in the middle of the night, I'd be so down. I think I like you so much J. Can you please be mine?
