So, about a week ago I was reading this article in the New Yorker about the clash between radical feminists and trans women (The Dispute Between Radical Feminism and Transgenderism), and my dad and I were talking about it. My mom came into the kitchen and asked what we were talking about, so my dad told her. She asked if I thought I was trans, so of course I said yes, feeling really awkward because...well, I don't really like talking to my mom for some reason even I don't know. She asked if I was sure, because "Just because you don't like the same things as other girls doesn't mean you're transgender." Argh!!!!!!! I felt like saying that being trans isn't like that, that I feel like a guy inside (and maybe show her 'After Ever After II'...the first song in that is super great!!!), but as I said above, I really don't like talking to her. Does anyone have any suggestions for articles I could email/give to her to explain what I feel ? I'd really appreciate it.
