I have a buyer. I have everything set up. I will have him deliver the money to the lost and found at the local mall. I've already called them to let me know when my envelope arrives (I told them I lost it). I will send him the underwear in the mail after I get the money. It's a perfect plan and at the end of the day I will receive $85 for a pair of underwear I needed to throw away anyway.

It's high risk work, but not as high risk as other sex work. There are places where this could go wrong ... but if it goes right I get tax free cash for very little work. (I don't exactly need the money though)

Should I, or shouldn't I?

Can I send a photo of my breasts without being charged for child pornography? I am under 17 and living in Canada. According to the Criminal Code of Canada, the definition of child pornography is photo, film, or other visual representation of "the dominant characteristic of which is the depiction, for a sexual purpose, of a sexual organ or the anal region of a person under the age of eighteen years." I will not show my vulva or anus. I won't even show my face. In addition, toplessness is legal where I live, so sending a photo should be no different that seeing me on the streets, correct?

If I send a photo can I be charged with making and distributing child pornography?

The week before I menstruate and during the week of menstruation, I suffer from a lot of pain in my lower abdomen, cravings, and increased libido. Often, I also have mood swings. The mood swings are the worst part about it. I don't feel like myself and I'm ruining my relationships and I'm putting my job at risk. What can I do to stop them? Sometimes I feel incredibly violent towards other people or towards myself (thoughts of suicide). Will anti-depressants work? Or are progesterone shots a better option? I just want to numb out those feelings so I can get back to normal.

Thanks.

I cannot seem to find a particular comic again. I was not alone when I first saw it, so I was embarrassed to buy it at the time Unfortunately, when I returned, it had already been sold. It was a comic that was written by a Quebecois man about a lesbian couple. The setting was at night in their shared bed. They were recounting the story of their relationship. They do have sex.

A couple things I remember:

- The color scheme was predominantly blue and yellow

- The lesbians were both feminine and slender

- The language of original print is French

- It is an independent comic

Thank you!

My mom wants me to come out of the closet. She has suspected that I'm gay for awhile now ... she asks every so often or she makes vague comments. When talking about my future, she uses ambiguous terms like "your significant other". She knows, although I haven't exactly made it difficult to guess, and because of that, I don't feel like I should have to make my sexuality explicit. I don't even have a label that I really fit in with.

Today, she asked me again for the tenth time if I'm gay. I told her, "No", and I won't have thought anything of this encounter if she hadn't have lectured me after ward about how the LGBT community won't accept me because I'm an outsider, etc. and that I should stick with people just like me (what she thinks to be heterosexuals).

I know she wouldn't have any problems with me if I came out, but I don't know what to tell her ... Do I just tell her that I like women, or should I label myself as queer? or bisexual? or just tell her that I'm a lesbian and hope I won't ever fall in love with a guy.

The thing is, I don't want to say one thing, but then a week later have to come out as something different because some girl or guy has caught my attention or my sex drive is acting up. I don't want to have to come out. I can be an activist from inside the closet, right? Being a lesbian/bi/queer is nothing to be ashamed of, and I know that, but I just don't want to have to talk about my sexuality with my mother. It would be so awkward telling my mom. What would I even say? "Hey mom, I want another woman's vulva in my face, but sometimes I would like to watch gay men masturbate, just thought I'd let you know." I would maybe tell my friends, but never my mother.

I'm totally confused.

I thought I was a lesbian ... when I was in France I had to faire le bise (the French check kiss), I would fantasize that the women I kissed would mess up, and I would get to kiss their lips. I had a crush on two women. I thought I could gaily spend the rest of my life with someone there. (I've had these feelings before I went to France, and I sometimes get turned on by Ellen Degeneres ... like today.)

Now that I'm home, I find that I am turned on by effeminate men. I don't think about having vaginal sex with gay men, but I would prefer to penetrate them, or I also like to just stroke them off. I have one friend in particular (in the US) who I would like to watch masturbate. But some days I find penises to be unattractive (sorry!).

I don't understand it at all. For about a year, I've stopped thinking about labels, but I would like to have a label for myself. I want to feel like a part of a community. If I don't have a label, I feel like I can't interact with the LGBT community, etc. Not telling people that I do like women bugs me becausadvocateadvicate for LGBT rights, I feel like I should be out.

I don't feel bisexual ... but maybe I am.

There isn't a GSA at my school, so I've decided to start one myself, but ... I'm not entirely sure how to ...

I think it should run once every week. One week will be about activism, and another week about just hanging around and having fun. What kind of activism do GSA's do? There is the regular Day of Silence, and so forth, but I really don't know what to do every other week.

What have you done in your GSA's? Or what do you think is a good idea? I've spoken to another GSA before, but I'm still a little lost.

Thanks.

I feel a little disconnected from the community. My school doesn't have a GSA (although, I plan to change that), and I am too young and too far away from any gay clubs, etc.

What do you think the most important issues are in the LGB community and for trans people?

I think that a lot of people get distracted by the issue of gay marriage, and although it is important (outlawing marriage is a form of segregated discrimination and it needs to end), there are many other areas that activists should turn their attention towards, not just focus on the one issue.

Do you think it's bullying and harassment? Job protection? Adoption? PREA? Sex Ed that includes LGBT? etc ...

Thanks.

Je cherche un jeu qui est basé sur la langue. Je suis une anglophone et maintenant je suis en France pour apprendre la langue, mais éventuellement, je dois retourner chez moi. Je sais déjà que le DS est dézoné, donc je sais que je peux jouer un jeu de la France avec un DS zone 1. J'aimerais un jeu qui est intéressant et a beaucoup des textes pour lire. Quelque chose comme "Teste de 999".

Merci!

I want a vibrator; a very simple and inexpensive one just to see if I even like vibration. Even though I am under 18, I think I can get one from a local Spencer's. I can say it is a gag gift (Christmas is the perfect cover) for a friend if they think I am too young. I've seen someone do it before.

Is it bad to want a vibrator? The alternative is casual sex. A vibrator is much safer. Should I buy one? Is there a good reason not to? I'm a little nervous about walking into the store ...

I constantly go back and forth from calling myself gay and then rejecting the title. I've had crushes on women, I've been sexually attracted to women ... hell, I got turned on by the girl sitting in front of me in math class. I've fantasized about being with a women, romantically and sexually. But it's not all women. There are women that I look at, and I think are beautiful, but I am not attracted to them.

With men, when I was younger I used to secretly obsess about boys. A couple years ago a friend asked me out, I said yes. We never dated, or even held hands, but I didn't like it. After that, I stopped having crushes on boys. I realized that I just wanted a friend. Not anything more. I like gay men. Specifically, I like yaoi (male/male relationships). I read yaoi, I watch yaoi, and I think about yaoi. I know that some lesbians like yaoi, but even so, I am attracted to these characters. Although fake, and although feminine, I am still attracted to them, right?

I don't know what to do. I think I'm gay one day, and perfectly content; I even think about coming out, and other days, I just can't see myself being gay, and labelling myself that.

I don't have to label myself, but the thing is, if I come out, I can try starting a relationship with a women. I think I would like to live with a women, and be close to someone one day. I don't like the thought of being dominated by a man, or being overpowered by their masculinity.

What do you think about my situation? Am I gay? Or just terribly confused? What should I do?

Thanks.

I meet my French student tomorrow, but I do not know how to greet her ... Do I hug her? Or is that too familiar? (They do not hug a lot in France.) Do I shake hands with her? Or is that too formal? Do I faire la bise? If so, how many times? Because I live in Canada, should I faire-la-bise her twice? Where she is from they kiss four times, so do I kiss her four times? What if she thinks it is weird? Should I just let her take control? I do not want to give a bad first impression, so I do not want to force her to do anything that makes her feel uncomfortable.

What questions should I ask her to start conversation?

I am really bad with meeting new people. Please help me! Thank-you.

For your information, we are the same age and are both female.

I must explain how a quote from a short story is based on a stereotype. The problem is I am not terribly familiar with stereotypes about farmers. Can someone help explain this to me, so that I can better answer the question? Thank-you.

“Farmers, all of you! Long-haired farmers! Do you think everyone must bend his back over the shorthandled hoe in order to have food to eat?”

I was watching a movie and all of a sudden there was blood everywhere. The characters were about to have sex (I do not think that the guy had even entered), and the guy notices that someone is bleeding. He thinks that it is her, but then looks at himself and screams that his foreskin ripped. I think he meant his frenulum. I know that things like this happens; it is not unusual, but while watching (I was terrified) I realized that I do not know what to do in that situation. In the movie a cloth was pressed against his crotch, and he was told to think of "gross stuff" so that the blood does not rush to that area.

What should one do if that happens? Call emergency services, probably, but anything else?

Please know that I have no problem with women, and I know that what happens every month is natural. It just is not for me.

I hate having my period. I feel so embarrassed buying pads, and I never feel clean or comfortable during the week. I hate the thing between my legs, and I hate what the hormones do to me every month. I do not want children, nor have I ever wanted to care for children, or go through childbirth. I am in physical pain every month. The first days are always the worst. Sometimes the pain feel like it is in the uterus, other times it feel like a sharp, shooting pain in my anus. For the entire week I feel nervous about having to sit down because I do not want to ruin chairs, or couches, etc. and embarrassing myself. I do not see the point in suffering every month if I am never going to have children.

I feel alone because my mother will not listen to me. I tell her that I want to take birth control, but she will not talk to me. I think she wants me to be like other women (to want to get married, to be "boy-crazy", to have children), but I do not want to be female. I do not think that I am male. I would prefer male organs, however, and to be treated like I am male. I know that it is not easier being male, but I would prefer to be hit and beaten, or told to "man-up" than to be more likely to be sexually harassed, or to go through "social bulling".

I do not know what to do. I do know that I am not going to be able to put up with this for 20-30 more years.

I have to give an oral presentation about this, and if you have the time, please read over what I have written, and tell me if it has any merit, or give your own opinion on the matter. Thank-you.

When two countries share a boarder, there will be noticeable influences, whether that be in the food, or the language, etc. Canada is heavily influenced by the States. The States is one of Canada's major trading partners, and when the States is hurt economically, Canada does suffer, or when there is a trend in fashion, or technology, it is most likely going to find it's way into Canadian culture. Both countries are multicultural, and have a variety of types of people, so, disregarding regional accents, there really is not a tell tale sign to distinguish a Canadian and an American. But regardless, we are not the same people. There are differences, and although they may not very evident upon meeting a Canadian/American, they are there. Austria and Switzerland, who have the same language, etc. were once treated like they were the same country, and that angered them because they are not the same. Neither are Canada and the States.

Italy was once owned by Austria and Spain. It was not really a country, but rather a collection of city-states, and before Napoleon established Italy and freed it from the British, the italians did not have an identity. Where they Spanish? Austrian? German? He united two parts which were governed differently at one point and inspired nationalism. The italians were now italians. They now had an identity that was not associated with another country or the church. But Canada and the States are not like Italy. They have their own, established identities. Canada is the peacekeeper, and has made advances in science like the Canadian arm in space, and has better international relationships - you would not see a Canadian wearing an American flag to be accepted into another country. And although minor in comparison to other countries, Canada has made achievements in war, which after WWII was finally realized.

Alsace in France, which has been owned by both Germany/Prussia and France, has a strong German influence in the culture; a lot of the street names are German, the cuisine is a blend of German and French, and the language, although French, has a German accent. But the citizens of France would not give the province to Germany for that reason.

I feel that as Canadians, we have to fight for our identity because it is there, but is undermined by the States. Combining the countries because of their similarities, in my opinion, is not a good idea. As Canadians, we would be lost. We would fight for an identity, like the French have against the English for years, but would slowly become Americanized.
