Gonna make me cry for a couple reasons. I am just glad we all have each other. I enjoy every day I come to the forums. I enjoy interacting with all of you. For a guy that has dealt with both Depression and Anxiety, coming here has made me feel… good. Which is something I need. I always have enough to give away, but I forget me sometimes. Regardless, I won’t forget you!

Okay, I’m gonna try this recepie again.
Fluffy Japanese pancakes. I just got my hands on a commercial grade food stabilizer called Gellan Gum LT100. No idea what that means. But I got a piping bag and I’m gonna use it.

The first time I was. Love her channel, I’ve learned so much. Might make a few tweaks to her recipe.
Also, I heard that if you eat pure gellan gum by itself in large quantities its probably not a very good idea and might cause a tummy ache

Hey all, just wanted to share a small success. I went out to another pride event tonight and had fun. When I came back home, my mom was super angry asking why I was going to these events and why I would want to be friends with (insert not nice word here). I stood up to her and told her, it’s because I’m part of them. Even if she doesn’t want me to be. Even if I didn’t want to be I am what I am. For some reason she calmed down a bit and I’m hoping it’s a sign she’s reflecting on her beliefs. I think I’m being too hopeful though.
But yeah, I’m happy I stood up to her. She’s known how I identify for several years now but has always been in denial of it.

I have two kids of my own. I’m sorry you’re having to work through what appears to be a challenging relationship with your mom.
I hope the conversations come easier over time.

You are wonderful, Ziggy, so I hope your mom becomes more understanding of that over time. Family can be…complicated.
I might not be legally or blood related to you, but I think it’s great that you are going to your local pride events and getting to meet more LGBTQIA+ folks. If it means anything, I’m proud of you, Zigstur, beaause I know anxiety and going to any event is not always easy.
I tempered my own true self and public expression of me to nearly everyone for many years, very much reigning in myself so as to be the recipient of less hatred versus what I experienced in my teens early 20s. Don’tbe like me, Ziggy…everyone: be yourselves.
Also, your mom is the one missing out by not befriending LGBTQIA+ folks. How else are you going to have super fabulous friends like Pharazon?

stuff like this still makes me so sad bc its not anyone is harming
anyone does mom want u to do drugs and do shady stuff instead?
just ppl waste their energy and efforts or things they cant control and
quite frankly it is none of their business and ppl have familys dissolve bc their son is now their daughter or they like a guy or something. i will never understand humans lol let ppl be happy
that said im glad u had a good time. hope all is well

I’m not sure about anyone else, but I’d rather see someone ask about something than stay in the dark. I asked a fair bit of questions in part 2 of the thread, and everyone was kind and helpful.

thanks
the thing is that i, as a man, feel attracted to men genitalia, but not to their bodies/faces, i don’t know why, i’ve tried to like them so i can approach them, have maybe some kind of relationship and then be able to get involved in se*ual activities with them, but i don’t know what to do
