Pointing around: "Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, you're cool, fuck you, I'm out!"

You did great, girl! <3
Well done Eeeevy.
For me you just came out as not Ivy - as in eye-vy. That's how I had your name in my head - Eeevy will take some getting used to. Anyway - I'm guessing you feel relieved in your head right now - YOU'VE DONE IT! Whatever happens, and however your family react, you are finally free to be you. Its a good day.
Kuusi palaa, ja on viimeinen kerta kun annan vaimoni laittaa jouluvalot!
Good luck, Ivy. If nothing else, I'm sure they can appreciate your honesty.
I fail to understand what this video will accomplish for you.
But if you feel it's the right thing to do, I won't stand in your way. Love your cute little voice, specially when you say my name! 
Thanks guys. My momma called last night. Turns out her computer at home is iffy until Saturday. Sigh.

She is the one that I am worried about, because I might end up losing all contact with her.This is because you are able to accept her as she is, but she will not allow herself to accept you as you are. Never forget that. Did not see the video, will watch tonight. Kudos anyway for taking such a courageous step.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Reason? Most people here are conservative. You can't be vocal and hide. Here, people do care. There's no yawning. There's either acceptance (and you most likely join a LGBTQ support group), or there's gossip and discrimination. I'm in a sucky town. Thank you, Tonus. I appreciate it. ♥ I still have your quote on my FB profile (I asked and you said it was ok lol): "Misdirected fear and shame are potent weapons in the arsenal of the bigot." I still love it just as much as I did when you first posted it. It fits right in with my current situation.
