I don't think I can stay here anymore. I don't know if I should leave so my bf can have his family and home still, or if I've completely ruined any chances he has with them. I just want to make up for all the trouble. I feel like I've wrecked his life.
Mtf
that's awful. I'm so sorry :(
Its incredible how some areas of the US are somewhat civilized and other are complete shitholes, please get out of there OP before you get hatecrimed :(
You both should try to leave. He’s never getting his man card back. He has no reason to stay, neither do you.
What state do you live in?
Did you legally change your name? Does it state you're female?
Based brother. He cares a lot and doesn't want his brother to be a fag.
It will never be the same again, kinda best to skip town
Fuck, that's terrible. I'm sorry.
Can you get out of there? Will he go with you?
Georgia, an hour away from Savannah. Name, birth certificate and gender markers were updated in my old state which was more accepting.
I feel so guilty for ruining this for him.
I'll talk to him about it when he gets home. He's at work right now. I've been nervous every time I heard a truck or car pulling past the house because I thought it might be his brother again.
Idk if he will come with me. I'm going to ask him about it.
That's what I figured.
it's Brunswick, I just know it
