So i kinda came out to my mom and it was really weird cause i was telling her i don't want to wear a dress in my graduation so she started asking me if i wanted to be a boy and i said yes and then she asked if i wanted to be born as boy and i said yes but she keeps referring to me with my birth name. Then i my grandma asked me today i wanted to be boy and she practically called me crazy cause i was born as a girl and i should see someone to organizate my mind plus she wants me to talk about more about this and now i just feel really offended and sad cause i know my family will never accept i'm transgender boy. In the other hand i came out to a friend and she accepted me and will start calling me as a boy which is awesome and that helps a bit but i'm very depressed and i'm so done with this i have been feeling this pain a lot lately. thank so much if you read this.
Hey Cain, I'm so sorry your grandma reacted like this. Sounds like she has no idea what she's talking about and just doesn't have the ability to intellectually and emotionally understand something that doesn't go along with her personal rules of "right" and "wrong". I can understand that that hurts! She's your grandma and she should be supporting you and love you for who you are. Maybe she does, maybe she's scared, maybe she's just old and sometimes people just get stubborn and close their hearts a little bit (just some people), maybe she just needs time to get used to the idea or hear more about it, maybe it's cause she's from a different time, or maybe she's just not capable of thinking this far and opening herself up to the idea. It sucks, it hurts. It's her loss, too! It's sad to find out someone you love is actually so tiny-minded. But I think the most important thing is. You kinda came out That's big! Your friend gets it! That's amazing. Someone who knows you well is willing to call you by your male name, because that's you! That's really great! What about your mum? How did she actually react? Did she say anything hurtful, too? From what you said, it sounded like she was very careful about her questions, maybe quite insecure about the idea herself. I hope you feel better soon! If you ever wanna chat, let me know! -Mia
