Ouch. My father constantly feels put down by my mother's passive-aggressive behaviour, so I decided to offer her a little constructive criticism. Yes, I knew I'd regret it, but I felt sorry for him. Oh, the glares. I think there may be burn marks on my skull. Urgh, I hate this family sometimes. My mother goes around criticizing everyone, and the moment someone says a think about it, she refuses to speak for hours.
Well. I figure today's not gonna be easy or fun so may as well not focus on why at the moment. But as far as progress goes... It's now past the 1 year mark of not only being on EC but of knowing I'm trans. And at the moment I'm almost full-time, even at home. The one snag is that I'm still being introduced as a female by family and not getting properly named/gendered by them at all.
Yes, the signal isn't strong enough from the new room, so I'm currently typing this in the middle of my empty old room... fun times, but my dad thinks he has some kind of solution, so let's hope it works out. _______ Decided to go by the name Kimberly instead of Danica, so thought a change in username was due
Hey, took me a minute. But like the name. See you've got an avatar change too. - Saddest form of stubble, btw, is peach fuzz. - And today's already shaping up to be sorta depressing. Mom's still making a cake for my dad. And kids aren't even in much of an Eastery mood.
Heh, thanks! Perhaps I should've kept my old avvy around a bit so people would know it's me. but Rosalina was just a bit too cool... ah, well, I hope everyone will be able to work it out.
My avatar pic may change with my style but it's still me in these pics and my name isn't changing. I like my name.
Just had the most non-subtle coming out ever. I knew this girl was gay because we both follow lesbian pages on social networking, but she didn't know I knew. We were Facebook chatting and I started talking about The L Word and she was like "oh my goodness I love that show!" So it's basically known between the two of us now that we're gay, haha. I think she's cute so I wanted her to at least know I'm not straight
So at my (conservative) easter family dinner, Frozen was brought up. My aunt and her sister in law are also teachers (but elementary ones) and were talking about showing it at the end of the year. I tried to bring up the moral significance of it and how it was advancing the lgbt cause. I was shot down by "It's cute and the kids love the songs". I actually dared to bring up lgbt stuff in front of the family and I was squashed by them. Yea... not coming out anytime soon.
Some people don't like to open up their minds and think deeply, they'd just prefer to keep things easy/simple rather than use their minds. I feel sorry for people like that. I'm sorry they reacted like that, I know how it feels to have your family say stupid things like that. (*hug*)
Why does my mother think she's the only one allowed to grieve? She's making a cake for my dad. Comes in, screaming at me, because I'm not making frosting and I had no idea she needed me to make it. I'm feeling shitty enough today. Why does she have to make it worse?
Sitting alone in my room alone listening to music loudly and loving it! But I do wish there was someone, somewhere wanting me. Oh well. :icon_bigg
