Its really weird, I feel alone lol.

I know. This first time I noticed I felt creeped out. I wonder why it is gone now.

I just thought of this, maybe it got disabled for the playoffs. tons of people are online during this time and showing all those names probably slows the site down quite a bit.

Nice I had not thought of that possibility. Hopefully we get it back after.

Props to you Bruce Jenner. I know a majority on here will disagree with me, but I think he's a brave and good man/woman. Have to be brave to live with that family for so long.

I'm 100% with you. Coming out as transgendered is an incredibly difficult thing to do it. We live in a time where homosexuality is only recently being accepted in society. Transgenderism is something that is even less understood.

My stepdad struggled with this, and is technically transgender. Me my mom, and him worked at Wal mart in 2005 third shift. He'd dress like a woman. No one would confront him because he's built like a brick **** house. I had plenty of talks with him about it. Felt it from a very early age. Heterosexual. Isn't gay, and even if he was I wouldn't care (except he is married to my mom, that'd be problematic ).

The only thing I cared about was that he treated, and treats my mother like a queen, and my father was a complete **** to her when I was growing up.

So yeah, there's another true life story for you guys.

He did what he needed to do to be happy. Which is somewhat ironic because he had what most would deem everything in the world and he wasn't happy. And now he is finally living the life he wants and will get ridiculed more than ever, but he will hopefully be happy.

Good for him. I'm happy for him. Very brave.

And the fact that in this world, the year 2015, that you have to be brave to be who you truly are is complete and utter bull. I hope that changes one day.

FU LP. I'll respond.

Good for your step father. Good for your mother. Good for you.

Your father for doing what he wants. Your mother for loving him no matter what. ANd you for being accepting and caring enough to want to know more.

Well, as a 13 year old the first time I saw him I wasn't. I went in my room and locked the door. It took multiple conversations for me to accept it. Mainly from my mother. Eventually I accepted it because he's just phenomenal to my mom. My dad has done a 180 and is a good man now, but growing up, damn.

I don't care if someone's gay, straight, trans, whatever. That being said I don't want to see two dudes making out. Two girls? Sure, let me be the mayonnaise in between that sandwich.

And yeah I open up my life to you guys, but I do the same in 'real life'. I don't care what anyone thinks about me. I have my beliefs, others have their own. But I'll always respect others personal beliefs even if they aren't my own.

It's one thing for any person to come out as gay, it's a whole other thing for a famous person to come out, and it's a completely different animal for a famous person to come out as a transgender. It's not something I fully understand, but I definitely respect him for it. I know a couple people that have struggled with gender identity issue and it's definitely not easy for anybody.

I don't understand it, and I never will. My stepdad told me he felt that way from a very early age. Basically the same story as Jenners without the money and such. My stepdad is a good man, and doesn't dress anymore due to being rejected for multiple great jobs, but I believe every word he said.

If anyone is looking for a good/entertaining way to better understand transgenderism I'd highly recommend watching amazon's Transparent. It stars the dad from Arrested Development. One of the best shows on TV.

My mother's car, which my stepdad was driving was keyed and all 4 tires slashed years back when I was a senior in highschool due to him dressing while working at blockbuster. I'll never forget that. And damn the people who have so much hate in their heart to do such a thing. We weren't exactly well off then either.

I think society as a whole, even down here, has come a LONG way in terms of LGBT acceptance in just the last 10 years or so. I distinctly remember as recently as 8th and 9th grade, kids were regularly calling gay kids certain terms that an average straight guy would take offense to now if they were directed at a gay person. That was only what, 7 or 8 years ago? It was still very stigmatized. Fast forward 8 years, I hardly think twice about it and I think it is far more accepted than it was not long ago. Transgender awareness probably isn't that far behind it.

Can we get a kickstarter fund going so that we can make a reality TV show starring Liver_Pooty?

"Pooty Time" would be a high quality name.
