Hmm...that just sounded....sad I guess o__O must be hard when the parents dont accept it.
My mom must be the most understanding in the world,(I mean....she sat down and watched Yaoi with me once o__O)
she`s been looking around for names for me (even though I have choosen one)
But my father`s side of the family is the troublesome one...they are the stereotypal...strickt family. And I dont really have any close connections to them.
I told my mom and sister that I'm probably a lesbian, but I don't think either one of them believe me. They just keep saying that I might change. They don't condemn me for it, they just try not to ever bring it up. It just sucks because they're always talking about how that guy is cute and this guy is cute and I just want to be a part of the conversation. But whenever I say oh I think this girl is really cute...awkward silence. I'm sorry you had such a horrible experience with your mom.
Dude! Holy shit! I don't want to call her a bitch because you know...that's your mother but fuck! Hope things are getting better for you and that she'll come around once it's settled in and stuff.
yeah see with me, apparently my parents knew for YEARS and they never bothered to confront me about it? idk we're a Catholic family so i'm pretty much damned to hell for being trans. anyways, i came out to my parents after they sent me to a Catholic psycotherapist and like, idk they said they knew but never did anything about it. and since coming out they haven't brought it up like at all so they're just gonna continue ignoring it i guess. i've told many friends and they're mostly cool with it
I think that my mom always knew... cuz I used to be a boy cuz everybody before my birth (even doctors) told my mom that i had to be a boy, and my mom said I wasn't...
So i'm like... both now (Grrr) xD
but my mom is fine with it, but she doesn't agrees with it for the full 100%
Ha Ha my mom told me something like that, she told me my grandmother and her friends told her I was going to be a boy and my mom said I was going to be a girl but obviously I was meant to be a boy no matter what.
What's up Ethan! First of all, you are perfectly normal. If you played softball and you didn't hit a homerun but your parents acted in the same inappropriate manner just because you didn't hit a homerun, well... that would be f-cked up! Anyway, you did the best you could in that softball game just as you are doing in life. If your parents cannot accept that, then THEY are the ones who need counseling... not YOU! Show your folks these comments, maybe they'll wake up... but I doubt it!
My Mum is fucking crazy in the same way yours is; she thinks everything is done against her, in her own crazy world. She pretended that I was lying about all the things that happened in my childhood. My mum also didn't find me liking girls an issue, and thinks I'm mentally ill.
My Mum is dumb. Best of luck to you mate.
Yeah my Dad refuses to talk to me. You're cool, I know you're getting pissed off but you're taking it well. I seem to take it to heart. I wish I wasn't so full of fucking estrogen
thanks. yeah, i haven't talked to her since November and it sucks. I've come to realize that she won't accept me with this but eventually we'll pick up talking again... she didn't know that I moved from Minnesota to Kentucky...so when her birthday hits in March I'm going to send her a card and sign it "from your son, Ethan"
dude, huge props to you for coming out to your mom even though she didn't take it well. I can't work up the courage to even bring it up to my mom at all. How's she taking it now? Hope everything's going well!
i just told my parents via email last night... my dad emailed me back to say that he wants to talk. when i originally came out as lesbian, he said he didn't believe me, never would believe me, and i think that's why he never went all-out-nutso on me. my mom pretends we never had that discussion.
so i'm expecting more of the same this time. but i'm still pretty nervous about talking in person to him about it.
it's been a bit since you posted this, how are things now?
So sorry about your experience. It's always sad when people in our lives don't take the news well. I read somewhere that parents of FTM's that don't react well are more likely than parents of MTF's to reflect on their reactions and be OK with it in the end. I hope that you and your mom are one of them. I know this sounds stupid and like a "no brainer" but within the community (FTM's, MTF's and SOFFA's) we all know that transition is the best thing for us. Others unfortunately don't get it.
sadly i didn't get the chance to see your whole video (comp. problems) but i got about half way into it, and i just wanted to say, sooo sorry about that, it's hard enough to come out to parents, then to have them say those kinds of things. when i came out to my mom as a lesbian, i had a pretty hard time, she wasn't like that to that extent, but she did say a lot of hurtful things, we are ok now, but it just makes things worse while in that type of conversation, so i feel for you, and good luck!!

My mother is supportive also, but she won't call me by male pronouns. She doesn't understand me.

@kentrie1994 Maybe it'll just take her a while to get used to it. My parents are supportive but are struggling with pronouns also.
