    Alright, first, to explain my situation, I believe I'm a bi (leaning closer to gay, but i don't have a kinsey #) guy in a girl's body... And I asked my mum if we could get a rainbow bracelet for me to wear, she asked why, and I explained, because I never can lie to her anyway. She said she'd have to get me one. And that was a few days ago. (This was all over the phone) SO i got to her house last night, and she keeps making references to me being straight. A normal straight girl. And I'm bi for sure... but that's aside the point. I know the difference between being straight and being a gay guy. You all know this, I'm sure. And how would she know what I am? She's the same one that told me I wasn't bi and just going through a stage before... and I never got over that.

    She keeps saying it's because of how it's a difficult life choice and i'm 16 and blah blah blah, we've all heard it, or you can guess. I'm out to a few other people: my best friend (a girl), my mum's boyfriend and his daughter (a bisexual), and a cousin, but mum's important too... And I feel like she's pushing me away now... Hoping I'll get out of the phase I'm in.

    So... any advice on how to get her to understand? Anything is greatly appreciated.
