So recently I was transferred to a LGBTQ support center for therapy. I told my mom that I was getting therapy from there. She seemed open minded about it until she began bashing me. She said that I look like a man, that God made me a boy (KNOWING the fact that I am an atheist), that I am mentally disturbed and that she will NEVER accept that transgenderism is a real thing. I was just blown away by all the statements she made because she is my only parent. It was also suprising because she is a self calmed liberal democrat. I just told her I only want HRT and breast implants not genital removal and that I will pay for it. I just want her to know that transgenderism isn't about surgery or how you dress, it's about you feel about your gender. TL;DR: Mom bashes trans teen because Christian beliefs
Hey I'm really sorry your mum did that . Are there any groups at the LGBT centre for parents Andy family members? Maybe you could try giving her some info off the PFLAG website. Don't give up, I know it's painful but maybe she will come around.
I know it doesn't help you but I think it's natural sometimes for them to struggle a bit at first, just in the same way we struggle sometimes at first to figure out our sexuality and our gender. If they are willing to go to support groups that really would be the best thing because I know from being on EC talking to someone who has been through the thing you are struggling with is a really great thing so if they could talk to another parent who has been through it I am sure that could help them.
"Self claimed Liberal Democrat" "because Christian beliefs" Your Mom claims to be a liberal democrat because she despises Donald Trump Your mother is a homophobic because of religious indoctrination Your mother is a closeted tea party conservative Perhaps you should confront her about this negative behavior...
