I would love to know how this story turns out. I hope these kids make a lovely relationship for themselves and I also hope that their joy and affection and honesty will open the eyes of all the people around them, adults and kids, and wash away the fear and bigotry. Good luck to these lovely young people.

OMG ask her out!!! And give your little brother a huge hug!! What a lovely person <3

Sadly, just googled the story and haven't found anything more about this story. Just that his story and his reddit account were made the same day, and after that... nothing, besides some questions and answers that same day. What do you think is the reason for this? I don't know what to think.

It's understandable to be a bit scared of social suicide, but in the outcome I think that dating her will be far more satisfying than having a good reputation with popular kids.

this is so cute <3

I love this! F**k the haters!!! (Sorry Bored Panda, I had to)

you should be with the person you love. everyone else doesn't and shouldn't matter.

Having lived in the Philippines for the past 3 years. I now date exclusively ladyboys. Very cute ladyboys in Cebu city and easy to meet online. https://www.freeforeigndating.com/

Here's my two cents worth. Oh, it doesn't matter. It ain't my business. But best of luck

This is really touching, especially since I'm in a somewhat similiar situation.

Live your life for yourself. No one else. Not any bully, so-called friend, etc. It's your life. Do with it as you please. Yes, there will be hard decisions along the way, that is the way life is. Make your choice and deal with it, good or bad. Those bullies and so-called friends, are just that .... bullies and NOT friends. High school is tough and it comes at a terrible time in our life ... we are kids but not adults, but yet we are called on to make adult type decisions. Peer pressure is at its worst. You are just getting to know who you are, much less anyone else. Tough row to hoe. But keep in mind, you will get past high school. It will be in the past. Those people you know now, won't even be memories later on in life if they are not true friends. Why give one moment of thought to someone who will not exist in your memory in just a short time? Live YOUR life. Don't let anyone else try to run YOUR life. Seek the truth. Be the truth. Live your truth.

so, a guy is dating a ladyboy? Can we translate it to people, not used to progressive language?

I personally think that love is blind. So if he is attracted to her he should ask her out. They text. They talk. They have worked together in a class. They are friends already. No harm in hanging out. Do that. Then do it again. Hang out. If you feel that the next step after that is giving her flowers...do it. Physically ask if you want to hold her hand. "Would it bother you if I held your hand?" She might say no. But asking is polite. Remember she is new at being a girl too. Like any teenage girl she probably questions herself non stop on her looks (An more so now than most girls). Being friends with someone sometimes means more than being boyfriend and girlfriend. But regardless what happens it's between you both and not guys in the locker room or anyone else to judge. Just be kind. No need to worry about being gay. You're attracted to her now. Regardless if she was still a boy and never became a girl, that is who your heart feels for.

People are people, so why should it be...why should they/we be So treated differently . Love,to them and best wishes.

Wow, I must have follow up on this. Did he ask her out? Did he do the rainbow roses? I need to know! I'm routing for them.

It's not really my cup of tea, but I say have fun.

Update, please!

I wish younger people could get over the social pressure they experience. I experienced it too when I was in school. Now that I'm much older, I realize that the older one gets, the less you have to worry about social stigmas. As you age, you learn to just not GAF as to what people think about you or what you are doing. It's like a big release, to learn to not GAF. As long as you know you are a good person, honest, respectful, and always trying to do the right thing, learning to let go and not GAF is a blessing. As you age, you realize that it's not worth your precious time to be worried about other peoples' opinions. Live you life!

What a pure, decent, loving soul this young man has. I wish them all the luck (and love) in the world <3

What happened next?? I just want to know did he asked her? Did she said yes? Are the dating? Did he gave her rainbow roses? OMG ....So mant unanswered questions.....

I think the guy needs to invest a bit more time before going bazookas. Just hold your horses and try your best to know her likes and dislikes (if not already) and more. Since the girl's feeling appreciated right now, she might tend to making hasty decisions and the same applies to the guy who seems quite excited about it. I'm positive it's not just about sex. Talk to yourself in a mirror and try to picture a long life (which I wish for both of you love birds) with that pretty lady of yours. You'll be amazed by the outcome. I'm sure God will guide and lead both of into loving each other for the rest of your lives..

I don't think he should worry about society dismissing him, or to being ridiculed, and he should certainly should not worry that she might physically not yet be completely female. Love is beautiful at that age because it's sweet, romantic and innocent. It's all about love, who cares what others say, or what she might look like under clothes (you are only 17!). Only thing important should be does she likes him in the same way. And if this relationship lasts beyond teenage years they will be both lucky because such love is so rare. If I would find someone I would like and love so much and that person also likes me, I would not care at all if that person is in any way unconventional in looks or any other way. because finding your soul mate and love is so rare.

Why is it alright to show a trans "girl's" naked chest?

The story is pretty adorable and I hope it's true, but if we're going to move past the stupid gender stuff of the past, how about the "girl" asking the "boy" out some times? And how about both getting each other flowers? Don't fall into the same dumb gender roles of the past. Do something better.

There is no evidence that this actually happened.

In love with someone he's never been out with? Sounds more like infatuation, not love. I guess blowing a tranny no longer means a mechanical problem.

I wonder if he knows it still makes him gay.
