Today, I had to google the definition of transsexual just to know what the hell my friends were talking about. I need to read a book. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after finding out from my psychologist that I have a disability in reading comprehension, I tried to Google how to improve my reading skills. I couldn't understand what any of the articles were saying. FML
Today, I had to use a dictionary before I realized I was being flirted with. FML
Today, a four-year-old said a word that I didn't know the meaning of. I had to look up the definition. FML
Today, I'm dating a trans girl, who is also my best friend. She confessed to me long ago that she was born male, and that wasn't a big deal to me. The problem is that my family is constantly harassing her, because I should have been "with a real girl instead of a monster with severed genitals." FML
Today, I'm a closeted trans man, and I feel terrible every time my family calls me "she" or "girl". Help me, I don't know how to come out. FML
Today, I was staying over at a friend's house for the weekend while the rest of my family goes to Cuba. Her neighbor started hitting on me. As it turns out, "he" was actually born as a "she", and now I'm apparently a transphobic bitch for not being interested. Two more days to go. FML
Today, I finally convinced my mom to read Fight Club. As English isn't her first language, she occasionally asked me to translate some of the words. Her latest question: "What's a dildo?" FML
Today, I had to explain to my mom what an 'LGBT ally' is and that it is entirely possible for a straight cis girl to support the LGBT movement. She thought I was a lesbian because I have rainbow colored and LGBT memorabilia. FML
Today, I went to see my gynecologist. She was writing my symptoms up in my chart on her computer. After a little while, I noticed that she had a confused look on her face and was reading something instead. When I took a peek at the computer screen, I saw that she was Googling my symptoms. FML
Today, the moment I had been fearing for the past few days arrived: my mom asked me if I knew what a groyper was. I don't know what's worse, that I know what they are, or that trying explain the concept is so convoluted, she now thinks I'm making shit up. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I've met people who didn't know the difference between transsexual and transgender. The important thing being that transsexuals are transgender, but trans* people (like those gender non conforming) aren't necessarily transsexual where you have a mind body swap.

And it's a 10 year old who wants to not be ignorant. Your point is?

You'd be surprised. People get transgender and transsexual mixed up and at least OP want to know exactly what it is so they don't end up making a fool of themselves

Honestly, even as a member of he LGBTQ+ community, I think it's great because at least you want to know and don't just use term you hear in the wrong context, in result offending someone. *pats OP on back*
