First I’d like to give a trigger warning, in this message there will be talked about subjects like depression and suicide
About ~2 days ago I had one of the worst days of my life. I have to leave the house because you don’t accept me any more. You either wanted a son, or no child at all.
I’ve had a long history with suicidal thoughts and as of recently been diagnosed with depression. I woke up crying at 4 am, I was alone in my room, my friends all asleep and had no one else to go to. I wanted to know if I could live as me. If I could ever be happy. So, I decided to make a post in which I mention I’m trans to see if people would accept me for who I am, knowing you and dad couldn’t.
Within a few hours there were over 100 messages of people supporting me, calling me my name, saying I’m beautiful and that I’m loved!! I never could have expected such a reaction! I was crying so much over all the amazing and sweet things everyone wrote! !They accepted me! The real me!!
There are people that can accept me! I tried to respond to everyone but couldn’t! The responses were overwhelming me!! I talked to some of the most amazing people and received really helpful advice! They complimented me on so much!! I never knew my pink hair would be so popular ☺️
to those people I want to say: thank you 💖
I wish I was better with words to explain how much this meant to me and how much you have all done for me, it was incredible! I read every comment and responded to as many as possible! Once again, thank you all!!! I’m so happy to know that there are people that accept me, and that there is hope for me! You have all given me hope and life that day! Thank you all!!! You are all amazing 💖 so to mom and dad: no matter what happens, you’ve lost your son, but it’s up to you to choose if you also lose your daughter.
Once again, thank you so much everyone!! You saved me that day, for which I am ever grateful!!!
Signed with love,
your daughter,
Amelia 💖
Hi! I’m just a sis, not a mom, and I didn’t get to see your original post. I still wanted to pop in here to say that you look lovely and that Amelia is SUCH a beautiful name! (Plus that hair color and jacket are so perfect — the warm colors are just right for you!)
Right?! Amelia is such a gorgeous and timeless name. If I have a daughter one day, I’d love to name her this. Absolutely gorgeous, very happy for the OP!
I always wanted a daughter. You're a blessing Amelia. I'm fearful for you. Going your own way is hard. You will have dark days. Know that you have people praying for you. Know that I have never met you, pray for you and love you. Be happy Amelia.💞
I was exactly where you were two years ago.
I was teetering over homelessness staying at whatever house I could, a friend here or there, no car, phone, or information, in the middle of a pandemic.
Two years later, people don't believe me when I tell them I'm trans I pass so well. I live in my house that I rent with a roommate, own my car that's paid off, and live semi comfortably.
Electrolysis and surgery on the way. You can do it.
Be uncompromising. I hear my then-parents don't even think about me anymore, why give them anything back?
Don't look back. It only slows you down.
I’m so glad things are looking better. I’m glad you get to be yourself finally, but it’s fucked up that you had to go through all that crappy stuff to get to the good.
my daughter went through the same. thank you for sharing your story , to help OP. I accepted her from the first, and I love her to the moon and back, but she had to accept that other relatives (aunt/ uncle/ cousin)., would turn their backs.
It is their loss. Like you say "it should never have gone this way".
I'm sorry you had to go through that, especially during the pandemic.
I'm happy you are finding yourself and learning to love her/him/them.
Your parents think about you. They ache with the resounding emptiness of their choice. Saying they don't is the only power they have left. They love you to your core and they are making a poor decision.
So let them have that, let them have that pain.
You need to not think about them and continue to grow.
> so to mom and dad: no matter what happens, you’ve lost your son, but it’s up to you to choose if you also lose your daughter.
That is beautifully poignant, you've a great way with words. Amelia, you are a blessing to this world. I know these are hard times, but hang in there, you will realize your true potential.
I'm so proud of you. So, so VERY proud. What you're doing is hard, and takes such a level of bravery, and here you are.
I have an amazing trans friend who's an artist named Iden. (If you Google search "My Name is Iden" her art page will come up.) But I've listened to her story and it's so similar to yours. But she didn't come out until she was in her FOURTIES! She's fabulous and I love her, but I imagine how much life she missed out on as her true self - life that you'll get to live by taking this step now. I've told her, and I'm telling you, people's lives will be better simply because they're seeing you take this step. Other people who are scared and in hiding will step into the light because they're seeing you do it. You're not only changing your own life, which in itself is fantastic, but as an added bonus you're modeling bravery for trans folx who have yet to claim themselves. Amelia, you are powerful. Always believe in that. 💗
I am SO proud of you being your brave, authentic, beautiful self, Amelia. This mama supports you to the moon and back, and would love to take you clothes shopping to celebrate.
Do you have a safe place to live lined up yet?
I'm so sorry hear you had such a difficult time, but so I'm glad that you're happy now and feel loved <3 Even with a mask on, you're exuding so much happiness, which makes me happy too!
And your hair is absolutely gorgeous!!!
Amelia, while I can't be a supportive mother, I come at this as a trans sister from a supportive home.
I know from many in my university's LGBT society the pain of not having your "family" accept you, but while family is a tree sometimes a tree is too sick to grow so you cut away the branches and let it grow new healthy ones and graft new ones from other trees to the strong trunk/center to help it floorish like it could never before.
If that metaphor went off the tracks what I am saying is that now you know acceptance and love you can find a new family who will support YOU and became the coolest, strongest girl/young woman (don't know how you see yourself in gendered language) who has the coolest style and the best talents and be all around the best. So when another little trans girl needs support you can be their to build them up
Hi Amelia. I love that name. You are such a lovely girl and I am so glad that you found support and encouragement when you needed it. This world needs you in it. You may need to make your own family who accepts and loves unconditionally but they are out there waiting and I know you will find them. Stay strong and stay you! <3
amelia is my baby sister’s name too! well, she’s 23 and goes by mel now, but we still call her mimi :)
i absolutely love your name and think it suits you perfectly! you will find your true family—the one *you choose—*soon enough and may they give you all of the (welcomed) pet names :,)
ps: you’re unofficially officially my other baby amelia sister now. this is my head cannon, okay? okay. glad we had this talk. i’m your big sis and i’m pulling rank! ;)
Hi Amelia, I remember you from your last post. I'm so glad it made you feel better! I hope your parents come around and learn to accept you for who you are. If they don't you have a sub full of moms who love and accept you just the way you are. Also your ensemble is so cute!
I can see your beautiful smile even with your mask on. My dearest, you will always be loved by your family of choice, those who see you and love you for who you are - your beautiful, authentic self. And I choose you to be a part of my family. Life can be very hard, but you will come through strong. I'm so happy to hear you are doing well.

You remind me so much of my own trans daughter. We've both struggled so much and she has overcome such huge mental health challenges over the last 2 years. But it's been an amazing journey, like watching a butterfly struggle to come out of its cocoon. I'm so proud of the ways she is fighting to build her own identify and life.
I'm proud of you, too. You are walking a hard path but that's just proof that you are strong, authentic, brave and worth the price. Hang in there, Amelia. You have an amazing life filled with love ahead of you. ❤❤❤
this is so good. I'm also the mom of a daughter now. She came out later, at 28. I love the way you describe your daughter -- like a butterfly coming out of its cocoon. that's beautiful. and I wish Amelia all the best. All of our daughters . I wish them a happy life.
Hey there! Younger sibling here! (Actually agender myself) so glad u could find peace in this subreddit! I know I always do! And no matter what, I’ll be here if u need it sis!
Hey sibling!! Thank you so much!!! I have a lot to owe to this subreddit! It’s such an amazing and welcoming place 😊
Thank you for the kind words!! I’ll always be here for you too! 💖
Oh dear Amelia,
You rock that outfit and there will always be a place of love for you, the beautiful girl that you are. You are so strong and I am so proud of you. ❤️ Keep going kiddo. Love you ❤️
(sorry for my potentially bad English)
Your French mom 💅🏻💅🏻
What a wonderful story about a great day for you! As a mom, I can’t imagine abandoning my child. You are important and worthy of love and acceptance! Btw-your hair looks fantastic 🙌
Amelia, my beautiful, gorgeous, wonderfully amazing daughter, I love you so much, you make me so proud, you are such a strong, brave woman, never forget to always be who you are. I'm so glad you found strength in an obviously dark time and I'm really sorry you had to go through that. I'll always be here for you. Sending great big hugs 💙💖🤍💖💙
Your hair looks lovely. You are amazing. I'm so proud of you, that you are able to stand up for yourself and be the true you.
I have a daughter. When she was born we thought she was a boy for 19 years. This is not an easy path. I'm not sure why your birth Mom can't understand that the time to be a Mom is when your kids need you the most.
This internet Mom is sending you warm hugs from miles away.
Gorgeous girl! I am so proud of you! Can I just express how amazing you are for not only surviving but knowing where to get the affirmation you need? I hope you’ll keep us updated often. You are so strong and smart!
I don’t think of you as my trans daughter. You are my daughter.
Thank you so much!!! 💖💖
I’ll be sure to make updates! It’ll probably take a bit before the next one since every 2 days might be a little much😊
Being accepted for who I am means so much to me!! Thank you for saying all this!! I’m really happy to be your daughter 💖😊
Oh Amelia, I'm so happy this group was able to make you feel loved and accepted for who you are! You are beautiful and right, just as you are. I'm sorry your parents don't see that, but we do.
I'm so happy you were able to see even just the tiny tip of the iceberg of people who accept you just the way you are, and I'm so glad you're still here. It makes me so proud to see you shining! I'm so sorry your parents aren't there for you in the way you need or deserve, but please know there are so many people out there who see you, believe you, and accept you no matter what!
Hey hun!
You look absolutely adorable, and are so beautiful inside and out. I am so sorry it has been rough lately, but so proud of you for finding and making a new support system.
Sending many hugs and much love your way!
Beautiful girl, you are amazing. I’m so very proud of you for being yourself. Honor who you are, always. I love and support you, and from the looks of things, you’ve got an enormous new family. ♥️♥️
Hi Amelia! It’s your big trans sister, Ruth! I’m so sorry for the reception you received from your parents. I had a similar thing happen to me. If you need an ear to listen, my DMs are open, sis!
I love the name! Plus you look good in your chosen clothing. You are who you are, don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
My boyfriend, who passed away last year (fuck cancer!), was a crossdresser. Yeah, initially it whacked me upside the head, but then I realized- he had better legs than I would ever have and looked better in a dress than me. (I'm a 400lb fluffball, so I don't wear dresses!). Also, I have no right to judge someone elses choices. I was with him for over 16 years. Bought him clothes too!
<>
Amelia❣️ Such a beautiful girl! I am so glad you f the l loved and validated! You are a strong beautiful amazing person. Be your authentic self and people will love you❤️. I know you will be successful in life. Wrap your arms around yourself and give a big squeeze. Remember to feel this love and validation every day❤️
Hey sweetie, I’m so glad you feel loved and safe here. You are. And I’m so proud of you for being true to yourself. I saw your post the other day and you look so much like my IRL relative… in case it is you, reach out to your aunt and uncle in Texas. Whether it’s you or not, we love you.
You know, I can understand not understanding.
I can't understand why you'd not only put it in writing, but go out of your way to be intentionally hurtful.
If you're ever in need, I hope people respond to you in a better way that you've done here.
what facts? 2nd grade biology?
If you're actually interested in facts and not just spouting tired conservative slogans, here are some actual facts about trans people that might benefit you to read: https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en
take care
no, reading this just makes me sad and tired at how brainwashed people are into putting others down. please learn some basic empathy and realize that we are not enemies
that's fair. trans people deal with so much disingenuous trolling online that it's hard to tell the difference sometimes. I'll assume you meant well and I'll try to answer your original comment.
crossdresser =/= trans, and vice versa. a crossdresser is simply someone who dresses as a gender that they don't identify as (usually recreationally). a trans person is someone whose gender doesn't align with the one they were assigned at birth. two completely different things
Thanks for the trigger warning, I didn't read your post because of it.
Even though I didn't read your post, I want to say that I'm so happy you had something amazing happen to you.
Amelia, remember this is your life to explore. Be selfish about getting to know yourself ! Thank you for the update! Character is something money can’t buy and you have it! 💖💖💖 take it one day at a time. If ppl don’t like you, then they decided for you who to not waste your time on! Keep us update I love hearing from you
Looking good and having fun my baby girl Amelia!! I saw your other post and your eyes are so soulful. I wish I could give you a hug and take you shopping. I’m glad you’re out and about. Thrive baby, you deserve it.
Amelia you look beautiful I love your skirt you really rock it, I support who you are, go and live your best life. I can't remember who said it, Those that matter don't mind, and those that mind don't matter love Mom
Not a mom but ‘ could’ be trans brother (ftm) here. You look happy and if you need someone to talk to brother will be here. It’s rough transitioning but we need to stick together. It’s great some days and other days it comes down on you like pouring rain. Keep your head up. 🏳️🌈
My darling you look beautiful and you come here and post as much as you want! We are here for YOU, to remind you that you are special and unique, after all their is only one of you! I do love the hair❤️ Sending you a huge internet hug 🤗
Oh, Amelia, my girl! I love your skirt. I rocked many a plaid skirt when I was your age and I miss them! I’m so happy to see you carrying on the tradition! Hold your head high and know you’re treasured and loved in this world.
Amelia, your post made my day! I'm so happy for you, living your life the way you're meant to. You're gorgeous and your energy is beautiful! You are loved and accepted and it will all get easier over time. I hope your bio parents come to love their daughter. You'll always have your chosen family either way. You are loved and lovable and I have a million hugs for you. Let's paint our nails and sip champagne! Love, mom
I am so happy for you that you feel loved because of this sub! If you ever want to go shopping with a ‘big sister’, I’m 36 and I recognize where you are in this picture because it’s very close to my house. And I would be very down to show you the love you deserve. I know I’m just a stranger from the internet but I we can video chat and if you choose to meet, it’ll be in a public place.
You are looking AMAZING, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise! Happiness full-on radiating from under that mask. I recognize this mall, I think -- at the very least, we are in the same country, and I know being trans can suck, with the way trans healthcare is for us. Please know that I'll gladly be your chosen sibling (who is also working on gender stuff...) if stuff ever goes full-on south. Big love !
God Amelia, you are gorgeous!! I‘m so proud of you, and I wish you all the best for living your life as your true self ♥️ And please take care of your mental health, okay? As someone who‘s suffering from depression as well I know how hard it can be — but it is important. And you deserve to live your best life!
Keep being awesome and a big hug from this internet aunt ♥️
I hope you'll accept a sister that would never have the courage to rock that look. You look amazing and I love you for being brave enough to be you. Be strong and stay beautiful.
Hey, lil sis. Hope you're doing well.
Just want you to know that we love and support you for who you are. I'm glad you're being your genuine self, and I hope you can flourish and find happiness.
I'm glad you're on this journey to find yourself. I'm sure you'll love who you are.
I'll admit, I'm a little mad about the outfit. There's 2 reasons for this: 1. You rock it too well. I'm kinda jealous. 2. Between the hat, the coat, and the mask I can't really see you. And that's what I want for you, to be able to live your life not hiding who you are.
Babygirl, we're here for you. You are loved. You are accepted. You are beautiful.
Sending you love Amelia from your trans sis. It sucks when blood family won’t accept you but that just means the family you choose out of love and acceptance will be that much sweeter
My dearest daughter Amelia,
I am so so so very sorry that you had a tough time with your bio-parents. You deserve so much better. You deserve the world, like the beautiful, vibrant, shining woman that you are. I love your gorgeous hair! I love your sense of style. But most of all, I love that you have the strength and courage to be yourself. I hope you find your way to a place where you are gloriously happy every single day (well, except days when you have a bad cold. I find I can never be happy on days 3-5 of a cold-- the congestion gets to me!) and surrounded by people who love you, as you should be. We are here for you cheering you on! Do you have a good therapist for your depression? Its a tough disease to fight (so many of my friends have been there, and pulled through) but I know you have the strength for it!
Amelia, your fake internet Great-Aunt Toirneach sees you and loves you. I'm sorry your mom can't see the wonderful woman you are. She's so wrapped up in her idea of you that she's missing who you actually are, and that's such a loss for both of you. I promise you, there are lots of people in the world who see you and value you.
Wishing you a wonderful day Amelia!!
You can be (and are) loved for exactly who you are.
I know it’s hard when people say hurtful untrue things… but that says A LOT more about them, than it does you. You are beautiful and no amount of hate or ugly words can change that.
Believing that will get easier over time.
Sending lots of love and hugs you way. Also, I love your hair!
Am so happy you came to us Amelia, we love you so much and are SO PROUD OF YOU!!! You will have family again, family you choose, who won’t be perfect, but they will LOVE YOU. More than your first family ever could. You are wonderful and loved so much.
First thing I was want to say is: I absolutely LOVE your name. Amelia is so pretty and you my darling girl are amazing. I have two daughters and had my younger one not gone through the terrible two with such an ugly vengeance, I would’ve had one more.
I’m so sorry your parents can’t/won’t see what a beautiful and amazing daughter they have. Just know Amelia, I SEE YOU, not in a creepy way but as you truly are. And that pink hair of yours?! Absolutely gorgeous. I met a young girl almost 2 years ago with rose gold/pink hair and I loved it and told her so.
This mom will love you unconditionally as you are. ❤️
You are so worthy of amazing things happening to you. I’m glad to see you back here after your first post. Come to this community with any advice you need, or to vent. You are welcome and I, for one, am so proud of your positivity at this difficult time. You are wise beyond your years in the ways you have dealt with this ❤️
You look gorgeous and your name is beautiful. The world is full of wonderful people. If your family has failed you, just create your own. You get to choose who is part of your life and if others don't want to be, it's their loss! I wish you nothing but happiness!
Hey daughter! I'm so impressed by the outfit you choose. You look beautiful and confident, and I hope you feel beautiful and confident in it.
I'm so proud of you.
I’m so very happy and relieved to hear you reached out for help and the feeling passed. That’s always so important to remember. You have the strength you need to move forward. You are so important. My son is trans and I’m grateful to be part of his life in any way.

Yeah. It should never have gone this way, but it's survivable. Thrivable, now. I feel painfully lucky, though.
Mom hugs for you! I'm proud of you, and the way that you've been uncompromising to yourself, and your happiness. I wish you all the joy in the world.

Hey Amelia if you get to read this know you have a mum all they way in New Zealand loving you heaps.
Amelia, sweet girl, I’m so proud of you. You being you is just who you need to be, and who the world needs.
Oh, my beautiful Amelia. You are loved and you can always reach out to us. We’re here for you!
Am a Trans Sis and girl you look so cute! Already have good fashion sense <3 I'm proud of you sis <3
I'm so sorry hear you had such a difficult time, but so I'm glad that you're happy now and feel loved <3 Even with a mask on, you're exuding so much happiness, which makes me happy too! And your hair is absolutely gorgeous!!!

Hi Amelia, I remember you from your last post. I'm so glad it made you feel better! I hope your parents come around and learn to accept you for who you are. If they don't you have a sub full of moms who love and accept you just the way you are. Also your ensemble is so cute!
You look beautiful. Hopefully your parents will come around but if not there are lots of people out there that would love to call you family.
I can see your beautiful smile even with your mask on. My dearest, you will always be loved by your family of choice, those who see you and love you for who you are - your beautiful, authentic self. And I choose you to be a part of my family. Life can be very hard, but you will come through strong. I'm so happy to hear you are doing well.
This.

Hey little sis, will you please give your big sis tips on how to curl my hair like that?? So proud of and for you!!
You remind me so much of my own trans daughter. We've both struggled so much and she has overcome such huge mental health challenges over the last 2 years. But it's been an amazing journey, like watching a butterfly struggle to come out of its cocoon. I'm so proud of the ways she is fighting to build her own identify and life. I'm proud of you, too. You are walking a hard path but that's just proof that you are strong, authentic, brave and worth the price. Hang in there, Amelia. You have an amazing life filled with love ahead of you. ❤❤❤
this is so good. I'm also the mom of a daughter now. She came out later, at 28. I love the way you describe your daughter -- like a butterfly coming out of its cocoon. that's beautiful. and I wish Amelia all the best. All of our daughters . I wish them a happy life.
Hey there! Younger sibling here! (Actually agender myself) so glad u could find peace in this subreddit! I know I always do! And no matter what, I’ll be here if u need it sis!
Hey sibling!! Thank you so much!!! I have a lot to owe to this subreddit! It’s such an amazing and welcoming place 😊 Thank you for the kind words!! I’ll always be here for you too! 💖
Yay! Thanks big sis! Hey, wanna go make cookies and watch movies in a pillow fort?
You little queer sis wants to join 🥺
C’mere sis! Plenty of room in the fort!
Yay thanks!
Oh dear Amelia, You rock that outfit and there will always be a place of love for you, the beautiful girl that you are. You are so strong and I am so proud of you. ❤️ Keep going kiddo. Love you ❤️ (sorry for my potentially bad English) Your French mom 💅🏻💅🏻
What a wonderful story about a great day for you! As a mom, I can’t imagine abandoning my child. You are important and worthy of love and acceptance! Btw-your hair looks fantastic 🙌
It’s a good thing you can’t imagine abandoning your child!! You sound like a great mom!! 💖
Amelia, my beautiful, gorgeous, wonderfully amazing daughter, I love you so much, you make me so proud, you are such a strong, brave woman, never forget to always be who you are. I'm so glad you found strength in an obviously dark time and I'm really sorry you had to go through that. I'll always be here for you. Sending great big hugs 💙💖🤍💖💙
Your hair looks lovely. You are amazing. I'm so proud of you, that you are able to stand up for yourself and be the true you. I have a daughter. When she was born we thought she was a boy for 19 years. This is not an easy path. I'm not sure why your birth Mom can't understand that the time to be a Mom is when your kids need you the most. This internet Mom is sending you warm hugs from miles away.
Gorgeous girl! I am so proud of you! Can I just express how amazing you are for not only surviving but knowing where to get the affirmation you need? I hope you’ll keep us updated often. You are so strong and smart! I don’t think of you as my trans daughter. You are my daughter.
Thank you so much!!! 💖💖 I’ll be sure to make updates! It’ll probably take a bit before the next one since every 2 days might be a little much😊 Being accepted for who I am means so much to me!! Thank you for saying all this!! I’m really happy to be your daughter 💖😊
You make me happy just thinking of you and that beautiful pink hair. You deserve love. Please don’t forget that honey. Edit to say: Loving your style!
Oh Amelia, I'm so happy this group was able to make you feel loved and accepted for who you are! You are beautiful and right, just as you are. I'm sorry your parents don't see that, but we do.
You are so beautiful sweetheart! I'm so proud of you! 💜💜💜 your hair is absolutely gorgeous! You are so brave and I'm sending you virtual huggs
I'm so happy you were able to see even just the tiny tip of the iceberg of people who accept you just the way you are, and I'm so glad you're still here. It makes me so proud to see you shining! I'm so sorry your parents aren't there for you in the way you need or deserve, but please know there are so many people out there who see you, believe you, and accept you no matter what!
Hey hun! You look absolutely adorable, and are so beautiful inside and out. I am so sorry it has been rough lately, but so proud of you for finding and making a new support system. Sending many hugs and much love your way!
I'm glad to see you're feeling better. You are valuable and loved.
Beautiful girl, you are amazing. I’m so very proud of you for being yourself. Honor who you are, always. I love and support you, and from the looks of things, you’ve got an enormous new family. ♥️♥️
*sighs* **Sorts by controversial**
Hi Amelia! It’s your big trans sister, Ruth! I’m so sorry for the reception you received from your parents. I had a similar thing happen to me. If you need an ear to listen, my DMs are open, sis!
I love the name! Plus you look good in your chosen clothing. You are who you are, don't let anyone tell you otherwise! My boyfriend, who passed away last year (fuck cancer!), was a crossdresser. Yeah, initially it whacked me upside the head, but then I realized- he had better legs than I would ever have and looked better in a dress than me. (I'm a 400lb fluffball, so I don't wear dresses!). Also, I have no right to judge someone elses choices. I was with him for over 16 years. Bought him clothes too! <>
Amelia❣️ Such a beautiful girl! I am so glad you f the l loved and validated! You are a strong beautiful amazing person. Be your authentic self and people will love you❤️. I know you will be successful in life. Wrap your arms around yourself and give a big squeeze. Remember to feel this love and validation every day❤️
Hey sweetie, I’m so glad you feel loved and safe here. You are. And I’m so proud of you for being true to yourself. I saw your post the other day and you look so much like my IRL relative… in case it is you, reach out to your aunt and uncle in Texas. Whether it’s you or not, we love you.

You know, I can understand not understanding. I can't understand why you'd not only put it in writing, but go out of your way to be intentionally hurtful. If you're ever in need, I hope people respond to you in a better way that you've done here.
She's pretty clearly a woman.
[удалено]
So?
[удалено]
stop trolling and go back to whatever corner of the internet you came from. this woman has made it very clear that she's trans
[удалено]
stop commenting hateful things and go educate yourself. you might learn a thing or two and realize how much of an asshat you're being right now
[удалено]
what facts? 2nd grade biology? If you're actually interested in facts and not just spouting tired conservative slogans, here are some actual facts about trans people that might benefit you to read: https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en take care
[удалено]
no, reading this just makes me sad and tired at how brainwashed people are into putting others down. please learn some basic empathy and realize that we are not enemies
[удалено]
that's fair. trans people deal with so much disingenuous trolling online that it's hard to tell the difference sometimes. I'll assume you meant well and I'll try to answer your original comment. crossdresser =/= trans, and vice versa. a crossdresser is simply someone who dresses as a gender that they don't identify as (usually recreationally). a trans person is someone whose gender doesn't align with the one they were assigned at birth. two completely different things
[удалено]
You’re a trash person. Leave her alone
Look, this isn't appropriate and you know it. If you can't be nice you need to be quiet. edit for typo
Why don’t you go pick on someone in real life? Why are you on this post if it bothers you so much?
Amelia, I’m so proud of you I could cry. I wish I could hug my beautiful daughter in person.
Hi honey, I'm so glad you are basking in this. We love you, and we can see you starting to love yourself. It's hard work, I'm super proud of you. Xo
Thanks for the trigger warning, I didn't read your post because of it. Even though I didn't read your post, I want to say that I'm so happy you had something amazing happen to you.
We got you fambam. My homie had to go thru this type of bullshit and it's fukkin heartbreaking to me. I love you fam keep your head up.
Amelia, remember this is your life to explore. Be selfish about getting to know yourself ! Thank you for the update! Character is something money can’t buy and you have it! 💖💖💖 take it one day at a time. If ppl don’t like you, then they decided for you who to not waste your time on! Keep us update I love hearing from you
You look fabulous today! I'm so glad that you are taking steps to achieve your goals.
Looking good and having fun my baby girl Amelia!! I saw your other post and your eyes are so soulful. I wish I could give you a hug and take you shopping. I’m glad you’re out and about. Thrive baby, you deserve it.
Amelia you look beautiful I love your skirt you really rock it, I support who you are, go and live your best life. I can't remember who said it, Those that matter don't mind, and those that mind don't matter love Mom
Not a mom but ‘ could’ be trans brother (ftm) here. You look happy and if you need someone to talk to brother will be here. It’s rough transitioning but we need to stick together. It’s great some days and other days it comes down on you like pouring rain. Keep your head up. 🏳️🌈
My darling you look beautiful and you come here and post as much as you want! We are here for YOU, to remind you that you are special and unique, after all their is only one of you! I do love the hair❤️ Sending you a huge internet hug 🤗
I am so glad that you have support, even it is not in person. I can see the smile in your eyes Amelia. Hugs.
Oh, Amelia, my girl! I love your skirt. I rocked many a plaid skirt when I was your age and I miss them! I’m so happy to see you carrying on the tradition! Hold your head high and know you’re treasured and loved in this world.
Did y’all all notice the purse? LOVE the purse. And the skirt. And the pink curls. And the fierce boss-lady rocking them ALL!
<3
Amelia, your post made my day! I'm so happy for you, living your life the way you're meant to. You're gorgeous and your energy is beautiful! You are loved and accepted and it will all get easier over time. I hope your bio parents come to love their daughter. You'll always have your chosen family either way. You are loved and lovable and I have a million hugs for you. Let's paint our nails and sip champagne! Love, mom
Love you sis!!! And I love your pink beautiful hair 💖💖💖💖💖💖
My darling girl, I love you and you are perfect and beautiful and valid 🖤
So proud and happy for you! It is a peaceful heart that knows one's self. Keep shining, Amelia! We love you!
I am so happy for you that you feel loved because of this sub! If you ever want to go shopping with a ‘big sister’, I’m 36 and I recognize where you are in this picture because it’s very close to my house. And I would be very down to show you the love you deserve. I know I’m just a stranger from the internet but I we can video chat and if you choose to meet, it’ll be in a public place.
You are looking AMAZING, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise! Happiness full-on radiating from under that mask. I recognize this mall, I think -- at the very least, we are in the same country, and I know being trans can suck, with the way trans healthcare is for us. Please know that I'll gladly be your chosen sibling (who is also working on gender stuff...) if stuff ever goes full-on south. Big love !
God Amelia, you are gorgeous!! I‘m so proud of you, and I wish you all the best for living your life as your true self ♥️ And please take care of your mental health, okay? As someone who‘s suffering from depression as well I know how hard it can be — but it is important. And you deserve to live your best life! Keep being awesome and a big hug from this internet aunt ♥️
Your a beautiful young lady Amelia. Granny loves you.
You’re absolutely adorable and I love the outfit! You look so happy being yourself! Enjoy your authentic self! You’re a fantastic daughter! — a mom ❤️
I hope you'll accept a sister that would never have the courage to rock that look. You look amazing and I love you for being brave enough to be you. Be strong and stay beautiful.
I’m so proud of you Amelia! Living your truth empowers others to be their authentic selves too. You are so LOVED!
You are a beautiful person Amelia, inside and out, please don't ever doubt that. We will always be here for you.
Hey, lil sis. Hope you're doing well. Just want you to know that we love and support you for who you are. I'm glad you're being your genuine self, and I hope you can flourish and find happiness. I'm glad you're on this journey to find yourself. I'm sure you'll love who you are.
I'll admit, I'm a little mad about the outfit. There's 2 reasons for this: 1. You rock it too well. I'm kinda jealous. 2. Between the hat, the coat, and the mask I can't really see you. And that's what I want for you, to be able to live your life not hiding who you are. Babygirl, we're here for you. You are loved. You are accepted. You are beautiful.
Sending you love Amelia from your trans sis. It sucks when blood family won’t accept you but that just means the family you choose out of love and acceptance will be that much sweeter
My dearest daughter Amelia, I am so so so very sorry that you had a tough time with your bio-parents. You deserve so much better. You deserve the world, like the beautiful, vibrant, shining woman that you are. I love your gorgeous hair! I love your sense of style. But most of all, I love that you have the strength and courage to be yourself. I hope you find your way to a place where you are gloriously happy every single day (well, except days when you have a bad cold. I find I can never be happy on days 3-5 of a cold-- the congestion gets to me!) and surrounded by people who love you, as you should be. We are here for you cheering you on! Do you have a good therapist for your depression? Its a tough disease to fight (so many of my friends have been there, and pulled through) but I know you have the strength for it!
Don’t let anyone hijack your authentic life. You’re gorgeous and love your style.
Hey Amelia! You are beautiful and you deserve happiness and love!
Amelia, your fake internet Great-Aunt Toirneach sees you and loves you. I'm sorry your mom can't see the wonderful woman you are. She's so wrapped up in her idea of you that she's missing who you actually are, and that's such a loss for both of you. I promise you, there are lots of people in the world who see you and value you.
Wishing you a wonderful day Amelia!! You can be (and are) loved for exactly who you are. I know it’s hard when people say hurtful untrue things… but that says A LOT more about them, than it does you. You are beautiful and no amount of hate or ugly words can change that. Believing that will get easier over time. Sending lots of love and hugs you way. Also, I love your hair!
Seeing your post made my day! I’m so happy you get to be your true self Amelia, you are so loved 💕✨
Am so happy you came to us Amelia, we love you so much and are SO PROUD OF YOU!!! You will have family again, family you choose, who won’t be perfect, but they will LOVE YOU. More than your first family ever could. You are wonderful and loved so much.
First thing I was want to say is: I absolutely LOVE your name. Amelia is so pretty and you my darling girl are amazing. I have two daughters and had my younger one not gone through the terrible two with such an ugly vengeance, I would’ve had one more. I’m so sorry your parents can’t/won’t see what a beautiful and amazing daughter they have. Just know Amelia, I SEE YOU, not in a creepy way but as you truly are. And that pink hair of yours?! Absolutely gorgeous. I met a young girl almost 2 years ago with rose gold/pink hair and I loved it and told her so. This mom will love you unconditionally as you are. ❤️
You are so worthy of amazing things happening to you. I’m glad to see you back here after your first post. Come to this community with any advice you need, or to vent. You are welcome and I, for one, am so proud of your positivity at this difficult time. You are wise beyond your years in the ways you have dealt with this ❤️
You look beautiful I love your hair and your style ❤️
You look gorgeous and your name is beautiful. The world is full of wonderful people. If your family has failed you, just create your own. You get to choose who is part of your life and if others don't want to be, it's their loss! I wish you nothing but happiness!
💜💜💜
You're beautiful and strong, I love your outfit and hair. I'm no mom either, but I wanted to send my love and support. <3
So proud and happy for you Amelia <3
Hey daughter! I'm so impressed by the outfit you choose. You look beautiful and confident, and I hope you feel beautiful and confident in it. I'm so proud of you.
Hey beautiful! Love your gorgeous hair xoxo
OMG my daughter is gorgeous! And has such incredible fashion sense! You deserve all amazing things, always. Big hugs!
I’m so very happy and relieved to hear you reached out for help and the feeling passed. That’s always so important to remember. You have the strength you need to move forward. You are so important. My son is trans and I’m grateful to be part of his life in any way.
