Hey so it's been a minute. Thank you all for your messages of love and support. Things are rough, but I'm dealing with it and am more ready to face the world. Stay strong my friends, and remember how loved you are.

Sometimes, everything starts to pile up on you, and it's just too much. You feel yourself slipping into the place where you're numb to everything, where the very act of facing one more day is exhausting, where your memory starts to slip, where the tiniest things set your heart racing, and you don't know how to stop it.
That's where I'm at right now. I know that this isn't permanent and that it does get better, but it doesn't feel that way. Don't worry about me - I'll reach out to the Trevor Project if things get really bad - but I just wanted to let you guys know I might not be posting for a bit.
Sending love to all of you,
River

There's always been LGBTQ+ people of Asian descent.
We (and many other POC) rarely see ourselves represented amongst the community, but that doesn't mean that we don't exist.
Nor do our identities contradict one another - just because an Asian person isn't what a lot of people think of when they picture someone who is LGBTQ+ doesn't mean that we can't be both.
We are proud of our LGBTQ+ identity. We are proud of our Asian heritage and culture. And we are done being invisible.

hey maybe it's just me but seems like you've been quiet for a while...everything good?
Hi friend,
All is well! Last week was finals/midterms week for my high school, so I was pretty busy because of that and didn't really have time to go online.
Also, I have a lot of asks that have been sitting in my inbox for over a month that I haven't gotten around to yet (sorry), so if anyone wants to resubmit one, go ahead, because now I feel awkward about answering them.
Thanks!

My parents think that the fact that I'm "no longer homosexual" is proof that being LGBTQ+ is just a fad and that people can change.
I'm still very much queer, I've just withdrawn from them and I'm only myself online. They think that cutting your child off from anyone supportive in their life, forcing them to do and wear things they hate, and forcing them to pray to change works. It doesn't.
You can't change who someone is - you can only hurt them and force them to spend this whole life hiding from you.
Love your kids for who they are.

Do you ever feel like you don't matter? I think all of us do sometimes. But here's something to keep in mind:
-There was a girl in elementary school who stood up for me when others made fun of my nervous habits. We haven't talked in years. I think about her all the time.
-A kid I didn't know who found me crying and hugged me made me to decide to stay alive for another night, even though we're complete strangers.
-There's a girl at my new school who probably just thinks that we're acquaintances, but she smiled at me on my first day, and for that, I will be forever grateful to her.
-There was a boy in my english class a few years back who was always quiet and withdrawn. I always hoped that he was okay and that he would reach out if he needed anything, and that made me realize it was okay for me to ask for help too.
My point? There are people in your life who think about you and care about you more than you ever know - you might not be aware of them. I'm thinking of you and sending love your way. You matter, and the world is better with you in it.

I consider myself somewhat lucky to have found other LGBTQ+ people in a very homophobic and transphobic school as I am bisexual, demisexual, and genderfluid. I found your blog when I was questioning my gender and it really helped me feel better. But Everytime I see you post and think about my LGBTQ+ friends, I worry about you even though I don't know you. You help people find support when they're nervous and concerned I hope you have support too, not only from social media, but from other people in your life. You really have made me, and I'm sure many others, feel loved and supported and comforted.
Hi friend,
I'm so glad that you've found support (although I wish your school as a whole was more accepting). Thank you for all the love and well-wishes that you send. You don't need to worry about me.
I had a few supportive friends back home before the move (whom I'm no longer allowed to contact), and I don't know anyone here very well, but that's okay because a) I'm a senior so I'll be out of here soon b) I have the support of you lovely people here on tumblr c) I have two brothers who are wonderful even though they were raised in an intolerant household. We don't really get to talk about the fact that I'm LGBTQ+, but even just knowing that they're there for me makes a world of difference.
I'm really glad that this blog has helped you - writing it and talking to others online has really helped me to become more okay with who I am and to realize that there are people who will love me for who I am.
All my love,
River

So if I were to write a letter to my parents who barely know anything about not being cis, but would be supportive, would this be a good outline?
Start off with saying I'm genderfluid so that they have a reason to take in the rest of the information
Explain how yes, I was assigned female at birth but in actuality I'm not
Explain what genderfluid means
Explain my pronouns (they/he/she) and pronouns in general
Say what name I'd like to be called
And then reassure them that I've always been this way and nothing has changed.
Does that sound alright?
Hi friend,
This seems like a great outline! The only other thing you may want to add is links to or the names of sites they could go to for more information, such as PFLAG, GLAAD, or the Trevor Project, and explain some ways that they can support you (using correct pronouns and name, access to affirmative clothing, etc).
I hope this goes well!
Much love,
River

Working towards accepting yourself can be really hard, especially if you grew up in a homophobic or transphobic household, so I'm really proud of you for trying.
I know it's tough, but you've already come so far, and there's a wonderful future in front of you.
You are brave. You are strong. You are loved.

"It's fine to be gay, but why do you have to push it on the rest of us?"
I've been alive for 17 years, but I've never seen a gay couple holding hands (at least not to my knowledge). I've seen many, many, heterosexual couples, but not a single gay one.
LGBTQ+ people deserve to be able to live openly and embrace who they are - that's not pushing anything on anyone.

Hi,
I recently realised that I myself am non binary.
I'm out to a few people, (namely my only 2 LGBTQ friends and dad as well as some others)
But I've known my best friend since I was practically a baby. And we go to an extremely Homophobic, Transphobic, over all lgbt-phobic, Catholic school that her mum runs that strictly sticks to the teachings of the Catholic church.
I'm scared of coming out to her incase her mum finds out.
I dont exactly have a good history with her mum, especially because I am neuorodivergent and she likes to throw this at me as well as the fact my dad left my mum.
I'm personally scared that her mum will find out, but not of her being enbyphobic (is that even a word? Idk)
How do you think I should do it? In a burn letter?
Hi friend,
First of all, I'm sorry that you aren't in a more accepting environment. You deserve to be loved and supported.
You are under no obligation to come out to your best friend. Only do so if you feel safe, comfortable, and truly want to.
If you do choose to, I would recommend NOT writing a letter (even though this is usually a good method) only because you probably don't want physical evidence. Instead, have a talk with your friend, and make it clear that you do not want her mother to find out, and how harmful this would be to you. I wouldn't come out to her unless she expresses that she is okay with hiding something important to you from her mother.
I hope things get better for you and that your friend is supportive. Regardless of what happens, you are valid and I am proud of you.
All my love,
River
