Some comforting words?

    So my girlfriend Kelsey(MtF) and I, a few days back, got some mild gay-hate. Where the individual doing the insulting was assuming we were two guys making out. And admittedly, it probably looked that way, seeing as she has neglected to shave recently, and me having short hair.

    I guess in a way this boosts my confidence.

    Because I mean holy crap someone thought I was a boy! Yeah, awesome personal win for Charlie!

    But I couldn't take much joy from it because Kelsey was referred to as male. And that made her feel bad.

    I mean as I walked her to class, I told her she was beautiful and I apologized for how people can be, but she wasn't smiling.

    She just kept saying she was happy for me.

    I just feel bad, I mean, I dunno what I could tell her to make her feel better.

    Tell her that she's beautiful, and tell her again, believe me; it registers on the inside even if it doesn't on the outside...

    Repetition and annoyance are the greatest signs of love (in this case). :wink:

    Thanks for the advice. After awhile she'll have to believe me.

    Have a great day!

    Yes. And the same goes with depression. It is sad that people give up when they don't see immediate effect.
    I may start to think about changing my signature again... :slight_smile:

    When it comes to someone you love, giving up is never an option.

    The sad thing is I was talking about the people around me. Your honest comment hurts, but yes, you are probably right :frowning2:
