Thank you, but I am fine. I was a bit shocked at the time I wrote the message but after writing here and ranting to some sympathetic friends who are aware of these issues, I felt better. I am glad Scarleteen is free of the bigotry of that blog and is so supportive. I guess I've just had a great expe...

By "detox" just letting out the negativity of gained from that site. I am sorry if it was comfusing. And I was just trying to be vague about the name of that website, I was unsure whether to directly name them - I definitely was not referring to Scarleteen.

I am writing this here because I feel like it is a safe place and a sympathetic one. I was reading an article on this site by a woman who is a lesbian, and she was talking about indentification and definition of butch.

Thanks FanndisTS! And I also, I don't think I am asking too much in simply being allowed to reference my orientation privately in my own home with no danger of outside prejudice. I don't feel comfortable talking about it at school which is what she says she is worried about. [ And yes there is a &qu...

And yes, the song helps me remember them in order.

I agree, that seems to be what it is. And I haven't spoken to her on this, do you have any suggestions for how I should phrase this? And I remember the monarchs from a song in this British comedy show about history for kids, Horrible Histories. "The Horrible Histories Kings and Queens Song"...

I personally identify as bisexual and I am only out to a few friends, the people who matter. I am fine. But I can't bring it up at home because every time I say it my mother objects to me, "Labeling myself so young" since "who knows what I will grow up to be" because she doesn't ...

I keep hearing on various places around on internet about the supposed odor of testicles and I am confused because I know all genitals have a smell, but it seems to be implied no one would want contact with them.
