...some straight people ask you if you are gay, and when you tell them you are, the next thing they ask you is, "Hey, I hope you will not hit on me?" As if every gay person is after them or they are God's gift to mankind that no one can resist.

Sometimes, I wish I had a 1,000 tonne brick for such occasions. LOL.

A little while ago, I accidentally tripped out of the trans closet... about 4 months ago with my mom and 2 months ago with my brother. My dad does not know, and I want to keep it that way.

The thing that keeps causing trouble is my choice of undergarments. I am a biowoman, but identify as male, so I wear traditional tighty-whities, which I bought about 7 months ago with my own money. But my brother keeps accusing me of stealing his, which is impossible because he is so much smaller than I am, and my mom wants me to buy girly underwear because she thinks I am "headed for heartache", seeing as I'll be in college this fall.

How can I get them to lay off and give me some privacy? I figure that it's on my butt so it's my business... and the only way they even found out is because I forgot to wear a belt a couple of times. The cat's out of the bag/closet, but not willingly... what should I do?

while freedom on the net has obviously allowed so much sex oriented discussions, how about centering more on issues like responsible parenthood, sharing reflections on how to make life more meaningful, sharing tips on how to be successful careerwise or on the job, sharing counsel on how to make a relationship more rewarding emotionally and spiritually... because there is more to life than being horny and being voyeuristic/exhibitionistic.

People from Spain/Portugal have completely different roots than people from South America and the Caribbean. So why are they all called Latinos/Latinas? Where did this term come from?

Why do some people put down others to make themselves feel more confident?
If someone were truly better wouldn't they behave in such a way that reflected their "greatness" instead of acting like a bunch of hoodlums spreading hate and lies?

It's just Spaniard (from Spain.. white) mixed with something else like black or whatever. Are Hispanics really a race? The way I see it there are only 3 races. White, black and Asian. Anything else is just a mix of those.

I have been seeing a counselor through my divorce and he doesn't act gay. But when I see him now ,he does strange things. He will sit there and lip movements that look like fishes
mouth when they move. He keeps taking the ring off his right hand and playing with it so I notice. He made a Fruedian slip and called me honey. Like he was talking to a wife or girlfriend.
The way he sits isn't the same. I'm not interested in him. But are all these signs for something? I would like to hear from a psychotherapists,

Given that most of the questions this show up in are directed at white people, shouldn't there be even LESS than this number? No insinuation just a hopeful weed ousting.

Not trying to be racist, but many white people I've encountered in public always give me that fake smirk like they think they're being friendly, but want you out of your way. Have you ever dealt with that and hated it?
