  • This is one of the reasons I've been moving so far away from my parents! And, this is the sole reason that before I started T, I worked super hard at becoming completely financially independent! Keep on keeping on. You've got friends here on YouTube that completely understand!

  • Hang in there man! It'll get better and just try to stay strong and stay confident. I know it's very hard to ignore things like that, but just make sure you remember that it's not you, it's them, and it will help a lot once you move out and get your surgery and such. I really hope your holiday was good. Stay strong and we are all here to support you!

  • i fill you bro my family wont even try or dare try to do it and i just HATE being called by female pronouns but whenever i tired it just turned into a fight so i gave up and avoid them every chance i get ... the only one who is trying it is my siblings and cousins me being trans aint even spoken if it does it behind my back and i get putdown as i was told by sister

    dude you can be happy since i told mine they have gone massively paranoid

  • Hmm, time to move maybe? :-/ I mean that's horrible but a change of scenery imo would be really nice.

  • skylarkeleven made a video with his mom, perhaps you can show that one to your parents, too.

  • i'm going through a similar thing and i will probably make you a response video. (orrr we should hang out.) basically the other day my mom and i were eating and she was just like, "so, are you done with hormones yet?" and i was like "...?" and she was like "when are you done?" and i think what is most upsetting, in addition to this implied assumption that this is a phrase, is the fact that they've done none of their own research. they've had 3 years, and just, nothing. how.

  • Your voice has dropped a lot! It sounds good :-)

  • I definitely think the idea of some family therapy is a good one. If your gender therapist is too far for that, could you find a general psych locally you could see for family therapy?

  • I feel you. It's been a struggle for the last year and half. Coming home is always hard for me.

  • I'm going through the same thing. Ever since I came out as a FtM I've never heard my birth name or female pronouns more than now. It bugs me and I get very frustrated

  • both you and my boyfrined have posted a vid on this topic on the same day...parental non acceptence sucks.... we cant let it get to us...

  • The whole thing about the best present they could give you being an empty box with the correct name on it was heart breaking :( Maybe you should try that line on them, because I know when I heard it all I wanted to do was cheer you up. I honestly do think parents work harder to please their kids when they see them hurting in a sad way rather than an angry way.

    On the bright side, it's really nice that your sister isn't getting wrapped up in your parents' attitudes.

  • I'm glad my parents aren't like that and glad they except me and starting to ues female pronouns n stuff more

  • Wow I can't imagine living with my parents, it sounds really really stressful. It takes a lot of courage to be able to deal with that on a daily basis. Stick it out and keep your eyes on the prize- not paying rent means all the money can go toward top surgery! I pay so much for rent that if I lived with my parents I could pay for top surgery in four months just from the money I'd save. Crossing my fingers that your presents say Brennan!

  • I pretend that my birth name is a nickname

  • Hugs!

  • I am so sorry this is happening to you. It's like u r in gender jail. I shared this video with Gender Queer Atheists on FaceBook. Hopefully, some will be around this weekend to give u some props. I respect how hard this is. Do not let depression seduce you. You're too important.
