Reposting bc this is NOT AI!!! And I’m so excited and need yall to be too

Here is a photo with my phone, and a screenshot from video with my phone, as opposed to my nice camera (although I’m reattaching those pics too bc they’re beautiful). When you google striped forget me nots, there is actually an old post from this group with a pic, but that’s all. So they must be so rare! Please nerd out with me friends 🩵🩷🩵🩷 I’m vehemently opposed to AI and would literally never post AI slop let alone pretend it’s real.

I feel like a bad fiance

I have a fiance and I love her very much but sometimes I get these random thoughts that I wish I had gotten to date more women. She is the only women I’ve ever been in a relationship with. It’s not that I don’t want to be with her or that I even want to be with another woman, I think I just want to know if other women would find me attractive as a trans man. It could also be a little bit of the fact that my fiance has been with a lot of people before and so I feel inexperienced.
Sometimes I wish I could’ve been a guy who talked to girls but I feel like a missed out on that.
I feel like that makes me a bad fiance, idk… does anyone else understand this?

I think I’m a lesbian and I don’t know how to come to terms with it

I (24 Non-binary Fem) have been struggling with my sexuality for years. I’ve known since the 7th grade that I was bisexual, but that doesn’t feel right anymore.
Right now I’m away from home trying to find myself while spending time with God and my close friend Bill Wilson (iykyk). While being away from home I’ve met a guy (38 Male), let’s call him Andy, and we’ve been dating for a month now, I enjoy our moments together and the gifts and love he has for me, but being in a relationship with him doesn’t feel right, maybe because I’ve been spending time with Bill for only 6 months and I’m getting back into the routine of spending time with God for the first time in almost 6 years (due to religious trama I left Christianity and decided to come back when I felt ready). I never intended to date while being away from home, it all just kinda happened, and Andy is a super sweet guy, but our values don’t align and I just don’t feel that spark with him the way he does with me.
I feel so confused, frustrated, and overwhelmed, I don’t know what to do and how to solve this, but I’m tired of denying how I feel and I’m tired of feeling like I can’t show who I really am and how I sparkle.
If anyone has any advice, I would appreciate your help more than anything. Thank you for reading and I hope you have a wonderful day

URGENT: An unregistered trans refugee in South Sudan’s Gorom Camp is severely sick with a blood infection and pneumonia. She has no shelter, clothes, or food. Please help us save her life.

Hi everyone,
I am writing this out of absolute desperation for a young transgender woman who is currently fighting for her life. She is a refugee who recently fled to South Sudan after surviving a brutal mob beating in Kenya that nearly killed her. She came here looking for safety, but instead, she is trapped in a living nightmare.
Right now, she is severely sick. She is suffering from a severe blood infection, pneumonia, and constant, painful hiccups that won’t stop. Because she just arrived in the camp, she is not yet registered. In South Sudan, being unregistered means you do not exist to the system she has zero access to public services, clinic care, or aid distribution.
On top of being dangerously ill, she has absolutely nothing. She has no shelter to protect her from the elements, no clothes other than what she escaped in, and no food. She is sleeping exposed, which is making her pneumonia rapidly worse.

The Reality for LGBTQIA+ Refugees in Gorom Camp
Gorom Refugee Camp is heavily overcrowded and is not a safe haven for queer people. LGBTQIA+ refugees here face daily violence, stoning, death threats, and a complete denial of basic medical care from the surrounding community and fellow refugees. Because the camp cannot guarantee their safety, many are left completely isolated without proper protection. 

The Legal Danger in South Sudan
To make matters worse, seeking help from local authorities is impossible because her very existence is criminalized. Under Section 248 of the South Sudan Penal Code, consensual same-sex acts (termed "unnatural offences") carry a penalty of up to 10 years in prison. Furthermore, Section 379 (Vagabond law) explicitly criminalizes any male person who dresses in the fashion of a woman in a public place, carrying a prison sentence. 
Because of these laws, she cannot turn to the police or local systems for protection. Doing so risks imprisonment or further state-sanctioned abuse.

How You Can Help Save Her Life
She has survived a mob attack and a dangerous border crossing, but she will not survive this medical emergency without immediate intervention. We need to raise €650 right now to secure private medical treatment, antibiotics, decent clothes, and a safe, temporary space for her to recover.
Every single euro goes directly toward her medical treatment and survival needs. Please, if you can spare anything at all, donate today. If you cannot donate, please share this post so it reaches someone who can.
Donate here to help save her⬇️🏳️‍⚧️

Nayandeep, are you going to stay silent on the homophobic comments made by Yogesh Rawat and Akanksha Choudhary too, just like when Sorab Bedi mocked Ruru Thakur’s sexuality?

Should transgender women be allowed on lesbian dating apps?

Seems like a complicated issue. But in Australia a transgender woman won a discrimination case in court for being banned from a lesbian dating app.

What do you think?

Is it ok for lesbians to exclude transgender women from lesbian dating apps?

Why can't I be someone who's into hairstyling/looking good and sapphic?

I'm Bi but I don't date guys I date other women and NB people (neutral NB or feminine NB, so Neptunic) and I'm into styling hair/trying new hair hacks and I'm basically obsessed with this kind of stuff one may call me even a girly-ish girl ("ish" because I'm still into other stuff like soccer and etc..). And apparently I can't be that while being sapphic because it's "against girl-code" someone told me.

I also got shamed for liking hair videos that have no narration that's like "If YoU dO tHiS yOuR bEsT fRiEnDs BrOtHeR wIlL aAtUaLlY fAlL iN lOvE wItH yOu!". I don't have anything against straight people or having crushes on your best friends brother and whatever but it kind of gets too much. Especially since this happens on almost EVERY video I see which is an annoyance I wanna point out just for the sake of it.

But the main point is is that whenever I say "oh yeah I'm actually not into guys..." people (rl and online) go all shell-shocked like "Really? Never thought someone who gave me that ponytail hack would be...y'know..." and believe it or not- they treat me differently even if they are my own close friends who say "Oh I really don't care" but they do.

I lost one of my most important friends (it was a guy friend) because he found out I'm Bi (Neptunic), I don't know if he was disappointed or just told by family to stay away from gay people.

Thanks for listening.

(NOTE: All rude comments made to insult me will be ignored! Hope that won't happen).

JK Rowling 'Not Thrilled' as Trans Politicians Join Scottish Parliament—'Everything That The Hateful Despise'

Scotland's Parliament has entered new territory with the election of its first transgender MSPs. Yet almost as quickly as the result was confirmed, JK Rowling redirected attention towards a defeated candidate known for opposing trans rights legislation.

The election of Dr Q Manivannan and Iris Duane on 8 May was widely viewed by supporters as a watershed moment for transgender representation in Scottish politics. Both were elected under the banner of the Scottish Green Party, with Manivannan representing the Edinburgh and Lothians East region and Duane securing a seat in Glasgow.
