    Who's cutting onions? It takes a lot to make me tear, but Tobin has done it. On a side note, who else was super curious as to what his tattoos were?

      I'm so happy to hear that my story meant something to you!
      My sleeve was Disney temporary tattoos that I had done with a friend the week before filming 😆
      Soon enough I'll have some real ones

    So crazy that these parents have healthy kids and then they just abandon them because of gender identity. Quite awful. When you become a parent, you sign up to be loving and supportive of this being you have created or taken in.

    Okay, I need to get this out in a place that I usually get responses. I am a transgender guy and I use he/him pronouns. I even use the boys bathroom at school! However, my entire (I mean entire) family disagree with it... Last Saturday my mom got married. When I came out to her, she basically became five times more abusive then usual... Not physically, but emotionally... When I was there, it slipped out to some of the younger boys there (two of my cousins and two boys from my "stepdad's" family) that I use the boy's bathroom at school and that I was trying to look like a boy... and it almost slipped out to my extremely easily angered aunt who would probably have even stopped the ceremony to hit me if she knew... I don't think my dad has ever called me Aaron, or that he ever will. Today has been a day full of being around family and it's tearing me down. I'm never gonna get to go on T, I'm never gonna be able to afford surgery, and I'm never going to be allowed to be Aaron at home... Plus kids at school don't get it, a coupe constantly go at it against me. I've been told if those two see me going in the guys room, they were gonna do something bad... It's terrifying, but I can't do anything, no one else knows they treat me like this, and since they've never hit me, I don't have proof... I feel so broken...

      Gumi Swimming look, i'm trans ftm, too. i just wanna say, i also am not on t, i'm not on any waiting lists or anything. hell, i'm not even out. i was in the mindset that lead me to think that nothing would ever happen, but i'm out of that now. thinking negatively will push you back a step. the first step in all this is believing that it'll happen one day. i promise you'll be able to get hormones and surgery in the future. save up. you'll get enough, eventually.

      I know...^^ Thank you, really. I hope you can be safe enough to come out sometime. It's nice being out, even with all the hate...
