I recently came out, and started transitioning. When I came out my parents kicked me out, and friends abandoned me.
Hi Katie.
Welcome to TGH. It is a friendly, understanding and supportive community.
Rejection has always been a common problem for us and it is particularly painful when it comes from the people we love. I have been there.
Here you will find solidarity and advice. Don't be silent. Speak up. Loud. You have every right in the world to live with dignity. You will soon find new friends who appreciate you.
As I often say, each one of us is unique and unrepeatable. We all deserve love and respect.
We are here for you.
