    cw: sad; transphobic parent

    i came out to my mum on the weekend and it didn't go too well. she's been pretty selfish with the whole thing and she keeps asserting that she gave birth to a son and doesn't have a daughter. i've blocked her for now, i don't know how this resolves but i have other people in my life who do actually care about me so i'd rather spend my time with them.

    on the bright side i'm out to the majority of my friends now, i've switched over all my socials, and my skin is getting softer! i really love being trans, i just wish i didn't have to deal with any of this other shit...

      having a strong support group with your friends is definitely good! cis people can really ruin the being trans vibes, so it's good that regardless of your mom you're still feeling good about that. hope she comes around meow-hug

      I would recommend only interacting with them (in this case your mum but can also mean faamily) on your own terms and have them work with you than bend to them. If people can't respect you then they have the choice to change or contine having no say in your life. I know it can be very hard though.

      I had a horrible time with my family. Mine never respected me..

      It's good you have friends and a support network, it helps a lot in this situation.

      Hopefully she will come round, at least I hope so.

        that's really good advice, thank you. she's always been a bit narcissistic, but i don't really have much else close family.

        i'm now a lot more nervous to come out to my grandmother, she's probably the next closest. i don't know if i can stomach both of them reacting that way...

        and thank you for the support as well, my friends have been amazing but this community is the best ❤

          It can be difficult, especially not knowing how someone will react or worrying about how a family member will react. I hope your grandmother will react more positively.

          Hapoy to offer advice and I'm glad you have good friends c:
