    So today I'm going to try to come out to my mother (who says shes an ally but shes really shitty and uses "transgendered" and "transtrender" and says the t slur isn't a slur, and is generally not up to speed) and my therapist and hopefully I'll get her to understand.
    hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo boy.

    buckle up, baby, this is gonna be one hell of a ride.

    Aww, I hope it'll all be alright, hun! Fingers crossed! Maybe your mom is just a little slow on the uptake? Hopefully she'll get better in time. And I hope you can expect good advice from your therapist, as well!

    Have a good luck hug. (*hug*)

    If she says she loves you then she might come around. It takes time. My parents don't understand yet, but they have started seeing me as a female but don't use she pronouns. Luckily my name is gender neutral. But it's usually hard with parents. Having extra support and having her meet with other parents would be best to help her move on.

    I'll never have to see that asshole again though. I'm finally free! There was a protective order placed against him so he cant come near my mom or I, otherwise he'll be arrested.
    I'm finally free of him!
