I am bisexual and trans/non binary (still confused on it for the past few years). My family is entirely unsupportive Muslims who do not feel that me being LGBT and me having any interaction with them is a remote possibility, so I am basically just a closeted queer person waiting until I can be self sufficient and capable enough to move out and start my own life! Glad to be a part of this community and excited to see how things will turn out!

But in the end, I really doubt Reddit could ever be replaced, it has simply become too large for it to ever truly fade away unless something extremely drastic has occured. Frankly the whole Reddit API debacle has opened my eyes to understanding why many groups still chose to maintain forums instead of switching to subreddits. I now appreciate that view and don't downplay it as a bunch of older internet users unwilling to change.
I find wearing clothing of the gender I wish to identify as, with people who treat me kindly is all that I feel is necessary at the moment. I don't necessarily feel uncomfortable with my body. Other than that, it sounds silly but anything pink. I recently bought a Energel Alloy RT pen, and it feels so smooth to write with genuinely a really nice pen. But what makes me happiest about it is that I bought a pink one not a normal silver or black one. My parents never would have allowed me to own something so blatantly "gendered". They would feel that I am a man so I should act like one, and men don't like pink apparently in their eyes. Feels like each pink item I purchase is an act of revolt, a sign that it doesn't matter what they think.
