LGBT Support

Hi, thanks for your question!

I’m not really sure how to help you honestly. This page is run by myself only and I don’t identify as trans so I can’t personally speak on other trans peoples behalf or experiences.

I think the only thing you can really do is talk to any trans people you may know and read up on the topic as much as you can. Write about what you know but maybe stay away from topics that you don’t have as much experience on until you gain that experience.

Hi,

Thank you for your question.

So I understand that your well-being in terms of an area that is LGBT+ friendly is your main concern. But I suggest you have other things in order as well. If you feel that it’s something you really need to do then I don’t think it’s hasty per say but, do not up and go without having a backup plan.

• You need to make sure you have a job lined up in whatever location you wish to migrate to.

• Have at least 3-6months worth of savings that will cover rent and food etc in case things fall through.

• Choose a location that has all the amenities you will need within walking distance, and that has a good bus or subway service.

• If college or university is something you’re interested in you need to make sure that you have all information you need 6-12 months in advance of the next academic year including accommodation for on or off campus.

I very much understand the need and want to spread your wings and be where you need to be, but being rash about such a big decision like this would be extremely dangerous, and it is why many people end up being homeless or at a loss. So please have a talk with yourself and family members you trust.

Hi,

I think you could introduce them to the definition of being non binary first and then tell them that that’s how you identify. You could gauge their reaction on the defintion of being non binary and see if it’s a comfortable enough environment for you to come out in. You could always tell one parent first, the one that you feel closest too and it may feel easier for you to do so.

There’s no set way to come out, you just have to do what makes you feel comfortable and safe.

Hopefully this was some help.

Good luck!
