In Commemoration and Thanks —Oct. 4, 2019

First of all, I just want to say thank you to everyone who has done anything for me this past. Special thanks to Hynx for helping me plan out my next step and special thanks to lagotripha who commented just seconds after I first came out. It was only through that comment thst I didn't take down the "deck" or make it private or something similar. He/She gave me the courage to stick it out and see what became of it. I stuck it out, and I am SO glad I did. I didn't expect how largely or positively it was received and this is the very reason I love this community more than any other.

To commemorate not only the support I have received, but to celebrate how great u guys are. I am going to celebrate in the only way I know how. I am going to make a EDH deck, of course. It is going to be 5 color to represent everyone and because it is celebrating u guys, it is up to u to pick the General. Doesn't even have to legal, the only constraint is that it must be 5 colors.

As a random internet stranger, its always nice to see more queer folks in the community.

@lagotripha This. This right here is why I'm coming out here as opposed to anywhere else.

I don't know you, but this was very brave. Good on you for being yourself. Hopefully this community that you've identified with accepts you whole-heartedly for who you are.

Also, love that you put Leyline of Sanctity as the only card in the list. You have Hexproof. Don't let the haters get to you.

@Saljen I was wondering if anyone was gonna get that. Thank you for showing your support. This is EASILY the place where I feel where I can be myself, even over the r/lgtbq subreddit

Coming out takes guts, couldn't be happier for you. Always happy to see fellow LGBT+ folks accept themselves (gay, in my case). Being yourself is the first step in being happy after all.

Sincerely, a random internet stranger.

Yo respect. It takes a lot of guts to do what you did even if this is the strangest place I've seen it done. By which I mean this is not what I expected to see today You're welcome at my table anytime.

Hour of Revelation and Dawn of Hope are probably a nice additions to the list. Maybe Polymorph after sideboard. Cheers on your bravery!!!

I'm glad to see this kind of stuff in here. You're very brave, and have this internet stranger support.

Life will be easier after this big step, cos you got like 5 experience counters after showing yourself and believing in yourself.

Best wishes for you!

@mlequesne Thank you for understanding. Already I feel like massive weight has been lifted off my chest.

Glad I decided to randomly click this one. I agree with Saljen, Leyline of Sanctity is a great card to have in mind when the haters start throwing shade. Stay safe out there.

You took a big step here and for that we should all celebrate. There's much love for you in the community and we're here for you.

@mikeyoffbeat I have always known how to make a good clickbait title. I feel like celebrating, not the fact that im coming out, but how amazing this community is, how much support I have received.

I love all of you. Stay strong. Stay yourself

Hey man (or women), I hope everything will eventually turn all right and I'm happy that you have a place to went your frustration. I know you are going through a tough time and I hope it passes away soon. You're a beautiful person and much love from a random stranger!

@eerie343 Thanks for your support. Extra props for the pronouns! It isnt frustration exactly. It kinda feels like after a massive test, a huge weight is lifted off your shoulders. U don't know if u did good or bad or how it is going to affect things, but it is done and there isn't any going back.

congrats on finding a platform you feel comfortable outing yourself with. Best of luck in your transitions. I would stress that you do take time to look after your mental health well being in any form you can find it, both during and after your transition. Although we have never met or interacted before, i do not wish for you to become another statistical number to the disturbingly high percentage of both pre and post transition trans individuals, compared to the national average. I will admit i do not know anything about the journey of a trans person, but i will say, as an outside observer, it does appear that some trans people, in their journey, put too many eggs in one basket, that the transition, when ever they feel like they are finally their true selves, will solve most of their problems about being miserable in life, and those who put too many eggs in one basket, forget or neglect other aspects of their life; when done realise there are still other problems in life and that their happiness is still a far journey. this is what i have noticed with my transitioned cousin, who took their own life, and its what i have seen in others who have taken their life. they were temporarily happy, but because they invested so much of themselves into this journey, they neglected other aspects that bring happiness to life, and find themselves still depressed. I wish you the best on your journey, and do not envy the struggle you will have to go through, because it is more than the average person. But as long as you can make the journey and be happy in the end, that is all that matters. ps. If funding for your transition is a problem; yet you are ok with a later transition, i would consider migrating to Canada when you become a legal adult, there are many programs and financial aids available to citizens in most provinces to cover hormone replacement therapies, facial reconstruction surgeries and more, including "THE BIG ONE". about half of the provinces will cover 100% of your transitional journey, financially.

@Hynx Thanks for showing ur support, goddamn that is a long paragraph. I hadn't thought of Canada as an option. It would be easier than going to Germany, seeing as how I'm only a handful of hours from the border. I had planned on going to Germany and being an Engineer because I liked their stance on a lot or climate rated topics, plus it would get me a foothold into Europe. Canada would be a lot cheaper though, and I wouldn't need as many documents. I could sneak through if I really needed too. Guess i cant really be picky about political topics rn. Financial Aid would be appreciated, especially depending on how everything goes back at home. Home isnt bad, not like some people have to deal with. I have food on the table, a job, hell even a car that was "mine" at 16. Only strict parents, which i can deal with until im ready to get out. Others have it much worse than i do. Even with all the support I have received, I think this is the only bit of advice that clearly gives me a plan of action. For that, I thank you from the bottom of my heart, the very depths or my soul.

Catpocolypse hey i am glad i was able to help with that. British Columbia is the first province to provide publicly funded gender affirming services. that province is very liberal and open and supportive to people such as yourself going through a similar life change, Saskatchewan was the second province, which was quite surprising as it is a very conservative (for Canada) province. Ontario doesnt cover 100% unless you have a mental health professional sign off, in various stages, but that is the meca if liberalism in Canada, Especially Toronto and Ottawa, Quebec covers 100% as well, but if you choose to live there, expect bigotry, not because you are trans, but because you (probably) cannot speak french. sp there's that. lol. come to Canada, where we pour hot maple syrup onto snow and roll it up on a stick to eat as it cools...no joking about that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NniZSGxRHU

The closest "city" is Thunder Bay, Ontario which is 9 hours or driving, which gives you a rough location of where I am. 180 miles walking, which would take roughly a week, providing good weather. I need to do it during spring though, because I dont fancy trecking though northern Wisconsin during December, plus time to settle in. From there I could settle in, then go anywhere in Canada. Ive been to British Columbia once, and it was beautiful. Best fish Ive had in my life. All i need to do is wait 2 more years until im 18 and can kick my mother off "our" joint account. Then I have access to everything I have saved up.
