So, Uh, Hi!

Hey, I’m Harvey and this is my first time posting. ^^; And uhm, yes, yes I do have a tumblr. http://bravestlittlesoldier.tumblr.com Feel free to drop me an ask or a message or something. I’m 14, so I kind of have to be pre-anything. I turn 15 in February. Uhm…what else to say. ><; Gosh, sorry, I’m nervous cause this is my first time on something like this. I’ve been binding since November when I figured this out, and I’ve stuck with it because it felt right. At first, the only way I was able to convince my mum to buy me a tighter sports bra for binding was for cosplay. I cosplay a lot of the male Homestuck characters, so I thought it worked pretty well. And then suddenly over Christmas I apparently grew a size.

Oh, uh, this is me, by the way, not in cosplay for once. A rare sight!
hi this is me!

So, yeah, that’s me being all chill and everything. Well, uhm. Something else that I want to get off my chest is that I came out to JUST my mum on the 25th this week and practically all of my dad’s side of the family found out a month ago. Mum doesn’t know this. But, uhm, I told her and I do happen to have a recording of it, it’s just about half an hour long and a good 20 minutes of silence. In the end she gave me a good 10 reasons why I couldn’t possibly be trans and then finished with, “But know you who are and be who you are.” Since then, she’s switched calling me “babe,” “girly,” “that girl,” as playful family pet names. Instead it’s just “kiddo,” “this one,” “that one,” “it.” I’ve tried my best to get rid of pretty much all of my girly stuff and I was hoping to take my girl clothes out to GoodWill this weekend. I also have a boyfriend (he’s genderfluid currently identifying as male. female bodied and sweetest person ever) that she doesn’t know about.

blah. Her excuses for me not being trans were along the lines of; “You were always nurturing with your toys,” “A guy wouldn’t be caught dead listening to Glee,” “You have too many flowers in your room in bottles,” “You never used your toys as weapons.” My GSA at school was aware that I was coming out that day because I was texting my boyfriend because I was sick and our club meetings are always at lunch. So, uhm, yeah. So I posted to my GSA’s Facebook page saying, “Hey, this happened.” Someone that had been a previous member said, “Well, my good FTM friend is very nurturing and he loves Glee and he’s got lots of flowers in his room, too. So her arguments are invalid.” And since that, all the members of GSA have been coming up to me and saying, “Awww, are you okay, Harvey?”

I just wanted to drop by, say hi, and get y’alls opinions. ;o; I love you all for support and as support and good luck yourselves!
