Hi all, earlier this year our son came out one morning and said how they didn't feel right in their body and wanted to be a girl.

She's 13-14 at the moment and since then we've supported her in this decision because we are a strong ally household.

Today she has asked to look into starting hormone treatment but as far as I'm aware it's banned for teenagers her age.

I just wanted to know if this is actually true or if there are other avenues we can go to help them become the young lady she wants to be.

And if anyone has any other general advice, I am more than happy to read it.

We already let her dress the way she wants, refer her by her chosen name and introduce her in the same way, as far as we see things, we now have 3 daughters.

Thanks in advance

Hi everyone. I'm [M21] from Birmingham UK and have been trying to find a partner. Trying my luck on dating apps and Queer events. But the people I find there are so much older than me. Where are all the guys my age? Please help me out. Thanks.

I was using a local queer writing group as a way of having a social aspect to writing and this also held me to account because we'd set challenges and sorta motivate each other. Was also a good place for feedback.

However said group isn't accessible anymore and as a result I don’t really have any ways of like, engaging with other writers actively. It was also a useful tool to actually get me to sit down and write because we'd hold writing sessions.

I don't know what to replace it with. Reddit doesn't exactly have the same semblance of community as you kinda just post threads and hope for replies rather than having an active flow of regular conversation.

There are no other irl groups I can find that are accessible. The only other ones around are for teens or uni students. Did ask around and even spoke to a local queer group.

What is my sexuality? I need help figuring it out. \[F 22\] I'm 80 percent attracted to women and 20 percent attracted to men I'm mostly attracted to women and feminity in men and women. but would date all genders. What is this called? Very rarely trans and non binary people

For context im an 18 year old Enby

I'm 80 percent attracted to women and 20 percent attracted to men but would date all genders. What is this called? Rarely attracted to trans and non binary people.

It feels like the majority of people that are on dating apps aren't queer or neurodivergent and mostly just want hook-ups for the most part, although I could just be looking in the wrong places as I haven't tried that many. are there any apps, events or other social places that people found to be the most effective that they could suggest? anything would be a start!

I was hoping to go to London pride 2026 this week but I don’t have anyone to go with me, so I am a bit nervous going. I am generally a bit of an anxious person so I am a bit unsure on whether or not I should attend. I am hoping to go see the parade but I don’t know any other places to go visit during the day but if anyone has any recommendations on where to go or what to do during pride it would be appreciated 😅

Prynhawn da Bawb!

Hi there my name is Diana and I'm a corporate queer that's going to be visiting Wales at the end of August. The reason is because I plan to check it out and see if it's somewhere id like to live in while I am on the Youth Travel Scheme visa in my effort to pursue a life dream of mine.

I just want people I can feel close with emotionally. Someone I can talk to and spend time with, that I can be a friend with. I don't need horny, I don't need sexy I just want genuine connections. I game, I watch shows, I read. I call myself the extrovert of most my friend groups because I'm the reason a lot of them are friend groups to start with.

I want friends for me this year and I'd love to get to know you if that's something you are also looking for. Feel free to shoot me a DM and if we connect I'd love to take it to dis.

Thanks!
