    Hi all. Now I would wager that more than a couple of you are not out to all your Friends or/and that some of you are Friends with some people who are insensitive to your plights. Does anyone care to share somethings your Friends say and do that hurts.

    I'll go first.

    I have this friend named Nick.
    He is always good for a laugh or kick!
    Of all my Friends, he is a top pick!
    Yet there is something he does that makes me sick...

    He uses the word "gay"

    He uses it, because he thinks its Funny.
    He speaks it, because he thinks its a Joke.
    He uses it as an Insult,
    and as a way to talk to Folk.

    He does not know to whom he Speaks.
    He does not know that I am one such Freak.
    He does not know that this leaves me Sad and Meek
    and is unable to tell him this Week...

    I don't Believe its his Malice.
    I can't Believe it his Strife.
    I think it is Disregard that is Callous,
    when He cuts me with that word, like Knife...


    The poetry just hit me, its not very good but you don't have to reply in rhyme or limerick
    :lol:

    My friend this is what she says:
    Don't you want a real family?
    LGBT people are weird/abnormal?
    How will your kids survive without both a mother and a father?
    How do people turn gay?
    You chose this.
    I don't understand how you can be lgbt.
    Don't you want a proper life?

    I hate this so called friend so Much. No matter how I try to explain it to her she's still very biased and opinionated.

    One of the most important things you can do in your life is remove the toxic people from your life. It is YOUR life. You should pilot and take control of it the best you can.

    My friend doesn't know about me so I don't hold it against him so much. There is no way for him to know what he does and every time he uses the word "gay" to describe something in the negative it builds a divide. But then he tells me a joke or asks for my help on something and that divide is closed. Our relationship is more complicated than he thinks.

    "Yeah, but are you sure you're Pansexual? Not like Omnisexual or just Bi? Because I read that Pansexuals are attracted to personality, and you say people are cute without knowing their personality"

    That one really bugs me, because I can see where she's coming from, but at the same time, it feels like she's saying I'm wrong about who I am.
    I've told her a million times that she can call me Bi if it makes her more comfortable, but that won't change the fact that I prefer Pan.

    I know she's just trying to understand, but it doesn't stop it from feeling like a kick to the stomach everytime she says it.

    A friend of mine (though she is supportive) said that because I've never been with anyone, that there is a chance I might not like being with a girl. It kind of threw me off.

    My mother does that. Actually she does this thing where she is both simultaneously supportive of me and against my sexuality. Its kind of more weird than hurtful.

    The only thing that happens repeatedly is that one of my friends often calls gay people "fags", but I still somewhat like him regardless. He wouldn't do it around me if he knew, at least.

    Has anyone ever wondered what your friends response might be if they found out? I think my friend Nick would honestly be awestruck. He would probably say something to the effect of "I'm so sorry for what I've been saying over the years." To which I would respond "Yeah, you were kind of a dick." lol.

    Every weekend I go to my friend's apartment and it is unbelievable how much the other residents talk about homosexuality in a negative context. It's mentioned in 1/3 of their sentences. They talk about it more than I do. It's really annoying but if I say anything to call them in it, I'll get yelled at, called a fag, and they'll just say it's a free country and they can say whatever they want. Which that's true but they're very insensitive.

    My family is worse than my friends, my friends are really chill about me being trans. Yesterday when I told my stepmum that I didnt want to go skiing on the last day of our holiday bc my dysphoria was a bitch and I didn't even want to get up let alone go skiing with a bunch of people i already suspect know about me, she told me I would ruin the holiday if i wasnt there. Then i said that I j felt shit, she asked me if it was bc someone had said something about me being a girl.

    But how would they know unless she had told them?

    I dont, hopefully, look like a girl...

    also other people where we were staying had started calling me she and i j wanted to curl up and cry.

    I hate them.

    Friends don't say hurtful things. They may say difficult or challenging things, possibly pointedly inquiring things...but not hurtful things.

    Ideally they don't say hurtful things, *knowingly* certainly. I guess its the difference between being "hurtful without knowledge" and being "malicious with knowledge". What do you think?

    If a friend of mine said an ignorant thing, I'd drop them.

    My friends use a lot of slurs, "faggot" being the most popular, I try to tell them not to say it in the nicest way possible, but I used to use it in the past which kind of makes me a hypocrite. In my eyes its the equivalent to saying the N word, but they only say it as a joke and there is no meaning or malice behind their words.
