Well said. And THANK YOU for sharing this. This is EXACTLY how I feel. I don't feel that I should be doing anybody of service by changing who I am just to please someone's attraction. I have been myself ever since I came out at 17. I wish I had known you as a friend earlier in life.

My sexual identity is male, and I'm not ugly... but I've been ugly cause of acne when I was 14-17. And I've been rejected and left apart for that. I've always loved pop colture and I still am totally fascinated by Lady Gaga. Not because of the message in Born This Way, but because of the fact that she can be successful in the music industry without being the classical stereotype of beauty... I was wondering: Have you had an idol that helped you when you where younger? Maybe David Bowie?

@Howl93 Sadly, no. Richard Simmons was the only homosexual in my day and was something to fear. (which is bad, but its how it was) I had TERRIBLE acne. So bad, I'd miss weeks of school and I'd get chemical burns from the Retin-A and my mother would never pay for acne medication. The acne goes away! In the late 80s there was Fred Schneider. That was it. It was a much darker time. But don't worry... the acne will go soon and ull live beyond ur dreams.

@aelius93 Thank you for your kind words, honey. It means so much for me! It's also nice to hear something good when there's so many people telling us that we are mistakes. Sending all my "cyber" love to you <3

@reercudi We femmes all battle suicide because we are on a very profound level, not welcome in this world. It's quite a struggle. We're treated like the runt that needs to be beaten masculine. I applaud your strength. As for your concern about others, don't worry. Even in our time of need, we always recognize when someone is just an asshole and we eventually find the support we need. Also, the power of the mind is great. Put it out there... If someone needs help, let me be the 1.
