    I had told my mom Im trans again and that I want to be a boy. She started yelling saying I dont want a boy and steryotyping. She kept saying no and telling me I can be a tomboy not trans. She does not believe it exists. Yesterday I totally broke down In tears. Im not sure what to do now, and shes gonna freak when she finds out Im dating a girl. Any advice?:help:

    I'm really sorry this is happening to you Garf. If you are comfortable, you could try giving your mom resources from sites like PFLAG.

    How old are you?

    Now you need to calm down and then try reaching out to her slowly. Materials, documentaries, talks, films - depending on the situation. It will take time. It's possible she won't accept you until you are older and she will se it's not a phase. You need patience.
