    I have no clue what that means. I hear that whenever I mention not being able to come out because of no one believing me. I can't be who I am. I have no social life. I can't date anyone at the moment. It's impossible to be who I am. Whenever I try to be who I am people just shove their goddamn heterosexuality down my throat. I'm so sick of it. I often act super asexual to avoid that.

    I think the fact that supposedly only 10 percent of the population is lgbti identified that means that heterosexuality is shoved down people's throats. It is the norm and it is difficult to live as nonhetero without support from friends and family in a world where we are the minority. I think some parents also place unrealistic expectations on their children I know some people are still homophobia and anti sex before marriage. Also I think lack of role models or connection to lgbti role models does not help those coming out.

    I think I have also somewhat misinterpreted what you have said, sorry it is late on my side of the world. I think "be who you are" is a way of saying you do not have to hide, people will believe you. As for a social life is this your choice or is this imposed on you? Try meetup, join facebook groups, chat to people on this forum, whilst this forum is not face to face it is still a social community where you can become friends with people. I don't think the issue with sexuality will change. Try watching some lgbti shows and try YouTubeing kaelyn and Lucy - they have been making me feel "normal" since I've discovered them.

    I see that. I went to the doctor's yesterday dressed female, and there was this big dench muscled American guy, who literally bristled as I walked in. And he kept staring at me. I was actually kind-of worried. It's difficult to be who you are when people look at you as if you are their next meal.

    That is something you will get used to be a female, often we females get treated like a piece of meat. It is awful but society allows men to treat women this way and disrespect us.
