FOR THE PEOPLE WHO LOVED MY PRIDE

 🏳️‍🌈 I'm going to be entering and talking about many people in this entry. They won't be in any Paticular order as many people were instrumental and guides for me. So here we go with a few people. Now before I get to deeply into this entry, yes I have partly talked about certain people who I will mentioning but I thought pride was a perfect place to revisit. Now as I said I'm going a bit out of order.

 So now I'll start with the first person who comes to mind. The first person who always pops into my mind when the topic of my coming out or LGBTQ in general is my former teacher Tom Gallagher. The reason I have him pop into my head first is he was a teacher when I was in high-school and I can't even imagine his struggles as a teacher. He was and still is an amazing and strong person for everything through the years.

 The next person I'm going to mention is somebody from my college day's. He was somebody everyone avoided kind of put him off to side, it had nothing to do with him being gay as it was very evident. He was always one to stand up for his beliefs no matter how much anybody seemened to flip him to the side. 

 This actually in someway's made him stronger and it helped me. 

 The next person I'm going to thank is a person I used to date.  We did have many good times together I'm not going to deny it wasn't the stereotypical relationship. As we were on off many times but we always seemed to find a resolve of some sort. Even if was just talking for a while here and there.

 For a long while I had suspected that Jenn thought I was either gay or bisexual but she was amazing. She was amazing in the sense that she didn't try any stuff to drag anything out even when either I wasn't sure or wasn't ready. She let me come out she wasn't awful and didn't out me to a bunch of my friend's. 

 So there is a huge thanks for sure. 

 Eileen was the first person  I was truly like truly able to actually fully come out to. I still feel awful for that I'm not sure why either. It was almost like I knew at 1000% that she knew and I was able to fully relax. Like I was able to talk to her with no pressure at the time. Even before my parents. She was the one who convinced me my parents would be ok and I'm glad they are now. I also remember her telling me yes I know you came out gay but after chatting with you I would say bisexual.

Just before the next two that's where I talked to more people I had come out towards and that was the view that they had

 Next I'm going to mention are Jeff and Adriann. Both are the most amazing guys and they have talked to me about so many things it has been amazing. When I was first coming out they told me different ways to talk with people and simply take my time. The biggest thing I heard and understand evenmore yes youcan  take all time you need plus you can be selective not everyone needs be told if you don't feel comfortable. Also Jeff once told me  some go through or 4 things before they truly know like example non binary A sexual gay bi sexual  but I studied exploring and I know I am bisexual and living my true life 

 Another person I went to school wit John  I had always suspected they were LGBTQ and I was right, for them like me they had just needed that nudge. John now is more relaxed and like me feels much better much more like where he supposed to be within his  life. I'm glad we were both able to find our ways. I know I have been able to talk to John. John has talked to me I'm glad we both are shoulders in this walk 

 The final person I'm going to mention is from my heart camp. I met Jamie at the last in person heart camp. We actually had a discussion about everything at the camp how I had just come out that year and I was ashamed it took so long. Jamie told no reason to be ashamed different times for everyone. She also helped me with the best way approach people when the time was right if I hadn't and that was a big help🏳️‍🌈. 

 The final person I am going to be adding is Aubyn. While I was first going through "my new life." Aubyn has been an incredible person and listened to so much. I think she was able to offer so much advice because of her son Taegyn when I saw how amazingly brave he was and how much support he had I knew it was time for me. Now mind you still took some time but I felt different things when T was coming out going through everything. Eventually I was able to bring everything out as long as it took I'm glad I'm finally able to express myself for the person I hid. 🏳️‍🌈

OUR TERMS OF ENDEARMENT

  In every other relationship I have been in, including other times my current GF and I were together they were either my GF or my partner/BF. We also had terms of endearment that we would like to use with each other. Things like shutterbug, butterfly for a couple of examples. Then yes with everyone dated typical ones like sweetie hun babe.  With this relationship because of my non binary Transgender identity I got the most awesome nickname/term of endearment ever.  Instead of BF or just hun sweetie I am referred to as a Joyfriend. Joyfriend it makes my heart leap and feel so awesome. Because it's such a gender neautral name that can be used with anyone. Going out and hearing this is my Joyfriend makes me smile and gives me a huge great feeling inside. Nicknames really can be amazing for sure.

NAME DYSPHORIA

 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ It took me a while to decide what site I was going to put this one in as it is effecting me both with my seizure side and my Non Binary prefered name side. I decided finally to enter it here as in the end really applies more to this blog. Especially with the certain situations and places the name dysphoria can and has kicked in. It really has kicked in at home as all of family absolutely refuses to acknowledge me as Quinn and I'm still referred to by my birthname this I have noticed every so often is a trigger for a seizure. Or at least a trigger where I need to destress.   Another place I found it effecting me and in this area a fair bit I have to admit is my fault. This happens at poker especially on a Sunday afternoon I finding it more percentage if you take the size of the crowds. It's strange before I came out as Quinn I never minded going by my last name. But I guess because my new name has turned me into a new person, more free person. Or should I say...

ENTRY FOR JENNIFER

   Being at the very least non binary person dating a CIS person I wasn't sure that would happen again.  It really surprised me when I began dating Jennifer again, I'm not saying there is anything bad. Actually indeed  everything has been going like on ice so smooth and a perfect glide.  We've had a few nice at home dates and have brought us together. Simple watching tv listening to music. We get to hug and cuddle and it brings and has brought us closer together. Especially because we don't live super close. Well we do but because neither of us drive it sort long distance.  So no matter the time we get together it's nice and special.   It gets really fun when we go out, especially when I can take my turns dressing up. Plus when I'm out with my CIS GF we can do things in both area's. What do I mean by this either we spend time where pretty much everyone would or we can ho to LGBTQ district's. So both sides get covered.
