yup. also, if he was just a friend who wanted to lend a ear because he actually cared, maybe he also remembers and when phil came out if he heard he was probably like: oh, good for him!
...is anyone else just so happy to see Phil so confident in himself now that he’s out. Like this guy is making me cry happy tears cause I’m so proud of him.
i mean for years i mixed up the words lesbian and lebanese and whenever people called me a lesbian growing up i’d literally go “no i’m jewish actually >:(“
I was talking to my parents this year and I told them what pride month was and my dad asked "so are you proud?" and I was like "yeah sure" and then I realized
You know how middle aged women talk about their “girlfriends” who are just their female friends? My mom asked me if I wanted to ask a girlfriend over and I was what “Wh-what? I don’t have-“ and then I realized
This bothers me so much! My mum does it too and I do a double take every time I hear it. Then they say 'partner' instead of girlfriend when it's two women like can you just use the same words for everyone please?
My own GRANDMA asked me if I "had a girlfriend" once and I just stared at her for an uncomfortably long time before I realized she was asking if I had any Friends Who Are Girls at my new school 😭 For a second or two there I was convinced my grandma, of all people, somehow clocked me as gay when no one else in my family has 😭
My bisexual friend's grandmother kept referring to my friend's girlfriend as her "partner" NOT her friend or by her name only as her partner and my friend had the audacity to say that her grandmother had no idea. Like girl, she knows.
awkward closeted story: pretty friend who is a girl: *casually sits on my lap when every seat is taken* me, a v closeted lesbian: *panics, stiffens, doesn't know where to place my arms*
ooooh so straight girls don't awkwardly stiffen up in this situation? (I spent most of my life subconsciously rejecting the idea of being Bi because with so many things I thought "that's what all girls do/feel" and I'm constantly hit by new realisations)
When I was 15, i went to a (very bad) birthday party. We played never have I ever, and someone said "never have I ever thought I was gay". Two people said "no, of course not". Me, not yet realising I was bi, but with no shame whatsoever, said "Well, I've thought it about it, but I don't think I am". To which two other people immediately said "Same, same, same". Those other two people - one later realised she was bi as well, the other was a closeted lesbian who had been one of the people who said "of course not". Without realising, I had made my closeted friend feel safe and a few months later she came out to me. We're 27 now, and still best friends.
Phil is such a great guy. He has continued to make great content for us, become more confident in himself, and opened up about his past to us, all while respecting Dan’s privacy and feelings this past year.
doodooo no it’s just because dan hasn’t really been properly online for the past year and I think they mean that Phil has never pressured him to return to the internet or be in videos if he’s not ready and he waited until dan posted his sexuality video before posting his own
awkward gay story: towards the end of my freshman year of high school one of my classmates who i got along with (we weren't really friends tho) was showing all the girls in the class a tiktok of some shirtless guy in a cowboy hat dancing to some country song. i got her phone shoved in my face as she said something like "isn't he HOT?" and i panic when i'm put on the spot so i just laughed nervously in deeply uncomfortable lesbian like "ah. yes. that is a man. he is very man-like. he has a nice..........hat." not my finest moment lmao
Haha same here. My brother is 11 and is at that age where all his mates did the same. Then he finally caught on and asked me what was up. I told him I was a 1000% lesbo and he started crying bc he felt so bad😂 I hope your sister catches on and then gets a bit more sympathy lol
I don't really have an awkward closeted story, but when I was fifteen I dated my best friend for a few weeks, then we both decided it didn't work out. Fun fact: I'm a lesbian and he's gay.
Last year I broke my nose at the school bus stop when a girl smiled at me and I fell into the road. My friends didn’t even help me they were pissing themselves laughing
Here's an awkward one: I'm trans and I was doing Romeo and Juliet for class and I volunteered to be Romeo and someone said "you can't, you're not a boy" and I just said "uhhhhhh bet??" Yikes. Edit: no one figured out I was trans. I forgot to mention that
i have never heard of that but it seemed suspicious how Phil was telling that. though, if i had known i would totally send that to my crush just to know who was their crush !!
Jason: sending a prank website to his best mate, expecting to find out his secret crush Jason receiving the email: 👁👄👁 I mean, hats off to Jason. The fact that his first response was “so, do you wanna talk?” Seems really nice, like he was an actual good friend.
Me Hopefully. I think a lot of us long-term phandom members have learned from experience it can make people uncomfortable to write about them in an often sexually charged fictional setting and can impact them in a negative way. Good to say something if things are unclear, but the premise is a good storyline
(note: am nonbinary) Once in middle school the gym class was split into girls vs. boys and I stood awkwardly for a while in the middle before the teacher asked me what the problem was and I legitimately said “I’m scared of girls”
I remember I went with the girls and that created a very akward moment The teachers asked me to move, and I said no. Then a girlfriend said "you owe me one" and joined the guys group Then everyone mixed up
I got yelled at by my grandmother at like age 8 for having a crush on Shego from Kim Possible , my grandfather on the other hand told me he was proud no matter what gender I married. Quite a few years after that I was talking with my great uncle and randomly came out to him when we were discussing marrige. He was saying "You're going to find a nice military man to marry one day." And I blurted out, "But Uncle Joe I don't want to marry a man, I want to marry a woman." I turned bright red but my uncle just smiled and told me "Well they don't have to be a man, just as long as they're in the miltary."
when the jason story happened to me, i told my best friend that i didn’t have a crush on anyone so i was testing our friendship compatibility instead.. i don’t know if she believed me but i lived to see another day
Another awkward closeted lesbian moment: my best friend (I wasn’t out to him yet), who has a crush on me, flirts with me. Constantly. You have NO IDEA how much willpower it took not to just blurt out that I liked girls. Every. Single. Time.
omg i feel that pain. after i came out i started compulsively telling any new guy i met so no one would think i was leading them on. as if i’m not the most obviously lesbian woman ever 🤦🏻♂️
when i was a young very feminine closeted gay boy, i got into my mother’s mascara and eye makeup. And when she asked me why there was makeup on my face i kid you not, as a young child i said: well..... basically a ghost came in while i was asleep and put it on me. 👁👄👁
@Curly bee even though i'm pan, i literally just tell everyone im kinda mostly gay bc half the world population doesn't know what pan means anyways lmao
@@sleepyontime5513 tbh idek anymore if im honest w you i just got outta surgery and am zazzed on medication lmao all i know is that gay=gay, straight=gay, meaning everything=gay bc phil said so
Here's my gay panic story; one time I went to Michaels to get a Christmas gift for my siblings. They really like rocks so I decided to get a little bag of rocks from a box where you can fill a bag and buy it for like 3 dollars or something. While I was browsing for rocks, a really cute person walked up next to me and also was looking at the rocks. I don't usually talk to strangers but this person was super cute and appeared very suddenly, so I was flustered and blurted out "I like your glasses" (they were round and gold). They told me they liked my jacket, and me being an extremely awkward gay who does not often receive compliments, I panicked, thanked them, and scuttled off as fast as I could. I met up with my dad in the paint isle, then realized my bag of rocks was only about half full. I didn't want to pay 3 dollars for only half of what I could get, so I went back to the rocks. The person was still there, browsing. I was too scared to approach, so I hung around looking at necklace charms for like five minutes, waiting for them to leave, knowing my dad was getting impatient. Finally I sucked it up, hurried over, and grabbed a random handful of rocks. Of course I couldn't have just left, so I grinned awkwardly and said "love me some rocks" and then ran away like my life depended on it. To this day I still turn red when I think about it.
also just wanted to say that phil being so open and willing to talk about his experiences growing up gay has meant so much to me over the last year as someone who's been a subscriber for 7 years, and who has struggled with my sexuality during that time. it makes me feel all warm and happy whenever he casually drops it into the video.
i accidentally came out to my friends when they asked me what i was going to be for Halloween and i thought i said “straight” in my head but i actually said it out loud too
This is the only time I've actually considered using a RUclipsr's affiliate link to buy something. The City Pop collection at 2:16 is so gorgeous. Bisexual colours depicting a pastel vapourwave-esque Japanese street? Phil my dude, you have such great taste!
Some pre-realizing-I’m-trans childhood stories: 1. When I was a kid, being a “tomboy” to me meant “you’re technically a girl but in every way that matters you are actually a guy”. I was desperate to be perceived as a tomboy and asked my siblings if they considered me to be one, and my brother said kinda but not really because I wasn’t into sports or enough “masculine” things. I was pissed and kept trying to convince him that I really was a tomboy lmao. 2. Connected to that first story. As a kid I loved characters and making stories with video game characters and the like (I’m a writer now, as fate would have it). I had this player guide to Mario Party 4 and read one sentence in it that said Princess Daisy is a tomboy and from then on for years I projected myself onto her and adored her. I made a version of her in my head for storytelling purposes where, as I said earlier, she was “a girl but in every way that matters actually a guy”. The character still has a special place in my heart. 3. On a similar note of me making stories with video game characters, when I was a kid I thought Kirby was a girl because he’s pink. When I found out he was a boy, I decided to make a whole AU in my head where there is a race of Kirby people and their sex can be told by their color but Kirby was a boy that was born with one of the girl colors. Yeah, it was that on the nose. I remember feeling particularly emotionally invested in that story, too. My subconscious was really screaming at me with that one, yet I didn’t realize until senior year of high school and this was from when I was 5-8...
Wow, that's all rather touching!! Thank you for sharing. I think it helps me understand as a cis female who has never had those feelings. I know I could never truly know what it's like, but thank you for sharing your perspective
transmasc to transmasc, this is adorable and deeply relatable lmao. on the mario kart thing i always picked Rosalina, now i know it was because i had a big gay crush on her hahaha
the most awkward moments are whenever any of my family say things like “oh just wait one day when you find a husband you’ll understand” like oh...oh tina.....if only you knew
Not necessarily a closetted moment, but when I came out as Pan to my dad, he made the mandatory pansexual joke, and then was just like "Okay, so girls, I like girls too, are they any girls you like, I can't help with guys, but girls I can!" And it was just so wholesome and awkward. My mom was behind us just watching and shaking her head.
my awkward closeted moment: I was at a sleepover and we were playing truth or dare. I was dared to kiss another (.. very pretty) girl and I Panicked. she whispered in my ear that we didn't really Need to kiss, that she would put her thumb between our lips. anyway in order to do that she had to cup my face and I think that in that moment I blacked out
when i was 14 i came out to my dad to distract him from the tumblr on my computer that i was not supposed to have 👁️👄 👁️ truly one of the greatest heists i've ever pulled off
The earliest “trans memory” I have is from when I was 4. I was batman for Halloween, but everyone kept calling me batgirl. I was super mad at them, and I remember whispering to myself that I was a boy, and that comforted me a lot. (I was still mad though.)
oh my god I have this black sequin corset that has a yellow bat symbol on the front and i used to wear it all the time because I'm weird like that and people constantly called me batgirl and referred to it as a batgirl corset and I'd always get so mad and be like no its batman and refused to have it be anything but a batman corset and looking back at this it was probably a trans thing in part at least. I also did halloween with family friend and one of her friends a while ago and i'm pretty sure she was recently out trans woman and she was in a batwoman cosplay and it was just so nice to see.
God I relate to that so much, I had a Spider-Man costume and everybody called me spider girl. I was mostly mad because I didn’t like spider girl and spider woman and wanted to be like spider man lmao.
I had to get put under anesthetic because I needed a surgery to drain a very painful ovarian cyst I had. While I was under anesthesia, I outed myself as trans. The doctors were very supportive. They were like, “That’s okay. You just be you. It’s good that you know who you are.” My mom was not supportive. And she got mad at the doctors for being supportive.
Dude, I'm straight and I was panicking for him a little- Phil: I was closeted. I said NO I'M NOT STRAIGHT WHAT THE HELL I'M THE FURTHEST THING FROM STRAIGHT! Me: Oh no Philly what is you doing???
😊In the future we will live one day where love wins. I hope we get to live that day. It might take a long time, but time is always ticking we will get there eventually. Bless all you wonderful souls.
haha i cant remember but i'm pretty sure someone did to me and then leaked it into the whatsapp group i was in. and i never used that group ever agian XD
This isn’t so much as a single event but an ongoing dilemma, there’s this girl that befriended me in freshman year of college(I’m bi), as far as I was aware I only liked her platonically, except when we left for summer break, she hugged me goodbye and it made me feel so warm and happy-and just-FEELS and I kept thinking about it all summer and it wasn’t until a few weeks later that I had an “oh shit” moment as I realized: a. I definitely liked her as more than a friend b. I’m 95% sure she isn’t into girls And then fall semester we were roommates which meant we spent even MORE time together and I was very happy and very miserable at the same time
Do you ever have the opposite though? Where you aren't sure if you have a crush or if you just think they are gay and want to find out more? Is that just me?
i'm bi and instead of gay panic i have straight panic??? like i had crushes on boys and my brain would literally stop working, i would say the dumbest shit when talking to them or even texting them i felt like a complete mess. however when i met and texted my now girlfriend i always felt less anxious and a lot calmer and more confident. idk men are just terrifying, i'm always scared they'll be mean or judge me, while with girls i feel safe and accepted. i've also never had straight sex, so if i'll ever be with a man that will literally be the biggest straight panic moment of my life lmao
That is SUCH a mood!!! Except I panic around everyone, no matter what😅 I know that my girlfriend won't judge me but I'm terrified of doing anything risky with her. Once I got used to boys, which took a VERY long time (ugh, the straight days) I felt way more confident doing risky things with them because boys are so easy! But now I'm literally terrified? I know she loves me for who I am and I love her for who she is but like, I have to reset everything I know about risky stuff and I no longer know what the heck I'm doing? But now thinking back on doing straight stuff makes me panic because it's been so long and also guys are gross? There's definitely something wrong with me 😂😅
"There was no gay love for Phil at the Chinese restaurant disco". I feel like I'm going to start using this sentence in regular conversation. When I'm telling a story about something that didn't end up going my way, I'll finish the story with this exact phrase. Bless you, Phil.
These are really entertaining, but these are also really helpful with making people feel prouder and more comfortable with their sexuality. Thank you Phil, thank you.
I had a weekend away with my best friend (who i kinda maybe had feelings for) who lived 400 miles away and the person they thought something might happen with. This person took an instant dislike to me, and made the whole weekend the most awkward and uncomfortable I've ever felt. It got so bad that when they fell asleep on the last night, I literally sat up looking out the hotel window silently bawling my eyes out all night from the stress and ended up having a panic attack the next day in the middle of London. My best friend and I had a long talk on the route home, thankfully we were on the same page about that person, and we've never seen them since. As a side note, as of January 2019 we both finally fully came out and now my bff is also my life partner
One time my dad was talking about a crooked tree we we’re trying to make stand up straight, but it wasn’t working and he said “Nothing else around here is straight, why start now” and I just quietly agreed, and thought it was funny as he didn’t know that i wasn’t straight
When i was a kid before i knew what being transgender was my mom and grandma would take me clothes shopping and said i could pick things out, and I'd go for the most boyish clothes in the women's section and sometimes try and sneak clothes from the men's section, and when they saw i didn't pick anything traditionally feminine they'd put the clothes i picked back and buy me the pinkest most frilly clothes and i wanted to cry, and sometimes did cry, every time i had to wear them
Skfhfksjf okay so mine's more of a funny coming out story. I was at the drive-thru with my mom and was thinking about coming out as bi to her since I'd done so to my coworkers and a few of my friends already. I straight up say "I think I'm bi" and SHE LEGIT IS JUST LIKE "Okay cool what do you want to eat" AND I'M JUST LIKE WELL THAT WAS EASY. As of now, she's the most supportive in my family and even went to three different Pride parades with me :D
So here's a kind of funny and wholesome one So i'm a trans boy(ftm) and when I was 12 I came out to my mom who responded with "Oh I already knew that" at the time I was so shocked but now that I'm older I realize how unsubtle I was about my transness, Hell I straight up asked her to buy me a chest binder without making any excuses for needing it, I'm just glad that she's supportive and didn't make a big deal about it.
That's awesome, I asked my parents for binders and wore big clothes and all that jazz and they still got all confused when I came out like I had never acted trans before. They still accepted me so it's all good, but I thought it was funny how surprised they were by something I thought was so obvious.
@no, my name is tyler I'm sorry your parents don't accept you, if it helps you don't have to be related by blood to be family with a person, so you could consider your friends as your family if they accept you
When I was little I thought that a 'homophobe' was someone who was afraid of leaving their house. I was a bit of a hermit at the time, so confused me went and told my mom I was a homophobe.

Here's an awkward one: I'm trans and I was doing Romeo and Juliet for class and I volunteered to be Romeo and someone said "you can't, you're not a boy" and I just said "uhhhhhh bet??"
Yikes.
Edit: no one figured out I was trans. I forgot to mention that
That is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever heard, have a fantastic day
I wish this was how I came out 😂
oh my god mood me asking to play mercutio every day and people giving me the weirdest looks
Im genderfluid
"You cant do that"
BET
Literally the EXACT same thing happened to me😲
You getting defensive at being accused of being straight is me unironically lmao
oml the second that Jason said “hey Phil enter your crush’s name here” I KNEW WHAT WAS GOING DOWN I have been punked by the SAME quiz when I was a kid
same!!!

Nothing triggers the millenial panic quite like the crush prank website or the follow the car jumpscare video.
i have never heard of that but it seemed suspicious how Phil was telling that. though, if i had known i would totally send that to my crush just to know who was their crush !!

Jason: sending a prank website to his best mate, expecting to find out his secret crush
Jason receiving the email: 👁👄👁
I mean, hats off to Jason. The fact that his first response was “so, do you wanna talk?” Seems really nice, like he was an actual good friend.
Yeah! It's a much better response than the ones *I* got at 15
Maybe Jason was gay too and he wanted to date phil (I should write a fanfic👁👄👁)
@@juliavidalabuin3276 let's not do that with real unconsenting people, maybe
Eleanor Hart They could just be using the idea and not making it about Phil specifically
Me Hopefully. I think a lot of us long-term phandom members have learned from experience it can make people uncomfortable to write about them in an often sexually charged fictional setting and can impact them in a negative way. Good to say something if things are unclear, but the premise is a good storyline
Alternative Title: Closeted Phil being Innocent and Everyone takes Advantage of It
The gay experience is having a crush on a person and then finding out they’re straight
Yep pretty much
Add the demi experience: having a crush on a friend then finding out they’re straight
I’m such a disaster that I ended up crushing on a girl that I KNEW was straight when I met her, wtf is wrong with my brain shdhdhdg
Or knowing they're straight but having a crush on them anyways

I feel like you just stole one of my memories
I'm cis-het, but high school girls are terrifying.
I remember I went with the girls and that created a very akward moment
The teachers asked me to move, and I said no.

I got yelled at by my grandmother at like age 8 for having a crush on Shego from Kim Possible , my grandfather on the other hand told me he was proud no matter what gender I married. Quite a few years after that I was talking with my great uncle and randomly came out to him when we were discussing marrige. He was saying "You're going to find a nice military man to marry one day." And I blurted out, "But Uncle Joe I don't want to marry a man, I want to marry a woman." I turned bright red but my uncle just smiled and told me "Well they don't have to be a man, just as long as they're in the miltary."
i relate to you on a higher level bc i also had a crush on Shego when i was 8

Another awkward closeted lesbian moment: my best friend (I wasn’t out to him yet), who has a crush on me, flirts with me. Constantly. You have NO IDEA how much willpower it took not to just blurt out that I liked girls. Every. Single. Time.
Oh god, I can FEEL that emotion.
UGH this happened to me for 4 years and another friend told me he was going to ask me out and that's when i came out lmaoooo

*[everyone liked that]*
Here's my gay panic story; one time I went to Michaels to get a Christmas gift for my siblings. They really like rocks so I decided to get a little bag of rocks from a box where you can fill a bag and buy it for like 3 dollars or something. While I was browsing for rocks, a really cute person walked up next to me and also was looking at the rocks. I don't usually talk to strangers but this person was super cute and appeared very suddenly, so I was flustered and blurted out "I like your glasses" (they were round and gold). They told me they liked my jacket, and me being an extremely awkward gay who does not often receive compliments, I panicked, thanked them, and scuttled off as fast as I could. I met up with my dad in the paint isle, then realized my bag of rocks was only about half full. I didn't want to pay 3 dollars for only half of what I could get, so I went back to the rocks. The person was still there, browsing. I was too scared to approach, so I hung around looking at necklace charms for like five minutes, waiting for them to leave, knowing my dad was getting impatient. Finally I sucked it up, hurried over, and grabbed a random handful of rocks. Of course I couldn't have just left, so I grinned awkwardly and said "love me some rocks" and then ran away like my life depended on it. To this day I still turn red when I think about it.
Oh my gosh, that's so cute but embarrassing!
this made my day
I feel this
That is totally me! I have a very similar gay panic story. Actually I’m still like that. I’m 42.
@@ms.lilith8905 you are my icon
also just wanted to say that phil being so open and willing to talk about his experiences growing up gay has meant so much to me over the last year as someone who's been a subscriber for 7 years, and who has struggled with my sexuality during that time. it makes me feel all warm and happy whenever he casually drops it into the video.
i accidentally came out to my friends when they asked me what i was going to be for Halloween and i thought i said “straight” in my head but i actually said it out loud too
thats amazing
This is the only time I've actually considered using a RUclipsr's affiliate link to buy something. The City Pop collection at 2:16 is so gorgeous. Bisexual colours depicting a pastel vapourwave-esque Japanese street? Phil my dude, you have such great taste!
Some pre-realizing-I’m-trans childhood stories: 1. When I was a kid, being a “tomboy” to me meant “you’re technically a girl but in every way that matters you are actually a guy”. I was desperate to be perceived as a tomboy and asked my siblings if they considered me to be one, and my brother said kinda but not really because I wasn’t into sports or enough “masculine” things. I was pissed and kept trying to convince him that I really was a tomboy lmao. 2. Connected to that first story. As a kid I loved characters and making stories with video game characters and the like (I’m a writer now, as fate would have it). I had this player guide to Mario Party 4 and read one sentence in it that said Princess Daisy is a tomboy and from then on for years I projected myself onto her and adored her. I made a version of her in my head for storytelling purposes where, as I said earlier, she was “a girl but in every way that matters actually a guy”. The character still has a special place in my heart. 3. On a similar note of me making stories with video game characters, when I was a kid I thought Kirby was a girl because he’s pink. When I found out he was a boy, I decided to make a whole AU in my head where there is a race of Kirby people and their sex can be told by their color but Kirby was a boy that was born with one of the girl colors. Yeah, it was that on the nose. I remember feeling particularly emotionally invested in that story, too. My subconscious was really screaming at me with that one, yet I didn’t realize until senior year of high school and this was from when I was 5-8...
Wow, that's all rather touching!! Thank you for sharing. I think it helps me understand as a cis female who has never had those feelings. I know I could never truly know what it's like, but thank you for sharing your perspective
transmasc to transmasc, this is adorable and deeply relatable lmao. on the mario kart thing i always picked Rosalina, now i know it was because i had a big gay crush on her hahaha

hearing phil so openly talk about being gay is still so surreal omg
the most awkward moments are whenever any of my family say things like “oh just wait one day when you find a husband you’ll understand” like oh...oh tina.....if only you knew
tina, you've got a big storm coming.
gosh darn it tina
a husband? in THIS economy? get real, tina
Same! My dad is convinced I've been talking to a boy
Not necessarily a closetted moment, but when I came out as Pan to my dad, he made the mandatory pansexual joke, and then was just like "Okay, so girls, I like girls too, are they any girls you like, I can't help with guys, but girls I can!" And it was just so wholesome and awkward. My mom was behind us just watching and shaking her head.
my awkward closeted moment: I was at a sleepover and we were playing truth or dare. I was dared to kiss another (.. very pretty) girl and I Panicked. she whispered in my ear that we didn't really Need to kiss, that she would put her thumb between our lips. anyway in order to do that she had to cup my face and I think that in that moment I blacked out
What an absolute mood
when i was 14 i came out to my dad to distract him from the tumblr on my computer that i was not supposed to have 👁️👄 👁️ truly one of the greatest heists i've ever pulled off
You're a true genius 😂😂😂😂😂
An intellectual truly 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ugh, I've experienced that terrible moment when someone approaches you cause someone dared them. Just that "turn me into dust" moment, horrible.
The earliest “trans memory” I have is from when I was 4. I was batman for Halloween, but everyone kept calling me batgirl. I was super mad at them, and I remember whispering to myself that I was a boy, and that comforted me a lot. (I was still mad though.)
travelingmarket115 sending hugs.
oh my god I have this black sequin corset that has a yellow bat symbol on the front and i used to wear it all the time because I'm weird like that and people constantly called me batgirl and referred to it as a batgirl corset and I'd always get so mad and be like no its batman and refused to have it be anything but a batman corset and looking back at this it was probably a trans thing in part at least. I also did halloween with family friend and one of her friends a while ago and i'm pretty sure she was recently out trans woman and she was in a batwoman cosplay and it was just so nice to see.
That's so cute thoo!
God I relate to that so much, I had a Spider-Man costume and everybody called me spider girl. I was mostly mad because I didn’t like spider girl and spider woman and wanted to be like spider man lmao.
aww bless you, I hope people are calling you by the right pronouns and names now 💕

I had to get put under anesthetic because I needed a surgery to drain a very painful ovarian cyst I had. While I was under anesthesia, I outed myself as trans. The doctors were very supportive. They were like, “That’s okay. You just be you. It’s good that you know who you are.” My mom was not supportive. And she got mad at the doctors for being supportive.
aw crap, i'm sorry about your mum's reaction. hopefully she gets more accepting

This isn’t so much as a single event but an ongoing dilemma, there’s this girl that befriended me in freshman year of college(I’m bi), as far as I was aware I only liked her platonically, except when we left for summer break, she hugged me goodbye and it made me feel so warm and happy-and just-FEELS and I kept thinking about it all summer and it wasn’t until a few weeks later that I had an “oh shit” moment as I realized:
a. I definitely liked her as more than a friend
b. I’m 95% sure she isn’t into girls
And then fall semester we were roommates which meant we spent even MORE time together and I was very happy and very miserable at the same time
Sorry I must... THEY WERE ROOMATES
omg they were roomates
i swear whenever phil has a crush he lists the reasons on his fingers on how he thinks they are also gay
Do you ever have the opposite though? Where you aren't sure if you have a crush or if you just think they are gay and want to find out more? Is that just me?
do we, uh, do we NOT all do that?

Phil, find Jason and update us!
So, what have we learned about Phil today?
That he has the worlds worst gaydar
Maybe it’s the best gaydar, but he mixes up the signals.
Maybe he’s still confused between gay and straight 😂
@@phoebeehe that would explain it 😂
i'm bi and instead of gay panic i have straight panic??? like i had crushes on boys and my brain would literally stop working, i would say the dumbest shit when talking to them or even texting them i felt like a complete mess. however when i met and texted my now girlfriend i always felt less anxious and a lot calmer and more confident. idk men are just terrifying, i'm always scared they'll be mean or judge me, while with girls i feel safe and accepted. i've also never had straight sex, so if i'll ever be with a man that will literally be the biggest straight panic moment of my life lmao
hmm that’s so interesting! can relate
Omg what a mood !
That is SUCH a mood!!! Except I panic around everyone, no matter what😅 I know that my girlfriend won't judge me but I'm terrified of doing anything risky with her. Once I got used to boys, which took a VERY long time (ugh, the straight days) I felt way more confident doing risky things with them because boys are so easy! But now I'm literally terrified? I know she loves me for who I am and I love her for who she is but like, I have to reset everything I know about risky stuff and I no longer know what the heck I'm doing? But now thinking back on doing straight stuff makes me panic because it's been so long and also guys are gross? There's definitely something wrong with me 😂😅
Could this be a series? Like “my gay story before I came out with glory”
How about this: let's not make Phil cringe himself to death lmao
Carolina Keltto lol of course I don’t want him to share if he’s not comfortable, this is even funny stories we have
Omg yes please please
"there was no love for phil in the chinese restaurant disco"

"There was no gay love for Phil at the Chinese restaurant disco". I feel like I'm going to start using this sentence in regular conversation. When I'm telling a story about something that didn't end up going my way, I'll finish the story with this exact phrase. Bless you, Phil.
Sounds like a band
These are really entertaining, but these are also really helpful with making people feel prouder and more comfortable with their sexuality.
Thank you Phil, thank you.
Yes👏👏👏👏👏
I had a weekend away with my best friend (who i kinda maybe had feelings for) who lived 400 miles away and the person they thought something might happen with. This person took an instant dislike to me, and made the whole weekend the most awkward and uncomfortable I've ever felt. It got so bad that when they fell asleep on the last night, I literally sat up looking out the hotel window silently bawling my eyes out all night from the stress and ended up having a panic attack the next day in the middle of London. My best friend and I had a long talk on the route home, thankfully we were on the same page about that person, and we've never seen them since. As a side note, as of January 2019 we both finally fully came out and now my bff is also my life partner
One time my dad was talking about a crooked tree we we’re trying to make stand up straight, but it wasn’t working and he said “Nothing else around here is straight, why start now” and I just quietly agreed, and thought it was funny as he didn’t know that i wasn’t straight
When i was a kid before i knew what being transgender was my mom and grandma would take me clothes shopping and said i could pick things out, and I'd go for the most boyish clothes in the women's section and sometimes try and sneak clothes from the men's section, and when they saw i didn't pick anything traditionally feminine they'd put the clothes i picked back and buy me the pinkest most frilly clothes and i wanted to cry, and sometimes did cry, every time i had to wear them
That’s so sad😟 I hope everything is better now!
S a m e
I’m so sorry, I hope things are better now! Know that you always have support in the community!
I'm sorry that you had to experience that! I hope it gets better! ❤️
Thanks yall, I'm not quite where I want to be with transitioning but its definitely better than when I was younger
jason absolutely had a crush on phil
Skfhfksjf okay so mine's more of a funny coming out story. I was at the drive-thru with my mom and was thinking about coming out as bi to her since I'd done so to my coworkers and a few of my friends already. I straight up say "I think I'm bi" and SHE LEGIT IS JUST LIKE "Okay cool what do you want to eat" AND I'M JUST LIKE WELL THAT WAS EASY.
As of now, she's the most supportive in my family and even went to three different Pride parades with me :D
Aw that’s so sweet! I wish more parents were that accepting😔 give your mom a big hug for me and tell her that she’s amazing!
So here's a kind of funny and wholesome one
So i'm a trans boy(ftm) and when I was 12 I came out to my mom who responded with "Oh I already knew that" at the time I was so shocked but now that I'm older I realize how unsubtle I was about my transness, Hell I straight up asked her to buy me a chest binder without making any excuses for needing it, I'm just glad that she's supportive and didn't make a big deal about it.
That's awesome, I asked my parents for binders and wore big clothes and all that jazz and they still got all confused when I came out like I had never acted trans before. They still accepted me so it's all good, but I thought it was funny how surprised they were by something I thought was so obvious.
@no, my name is tyler I'm sorry your parents don't accept you, if it helps you don't have to be related by blood to be family with a person, so you could consider your friends as your family if they accept you
