parents are confusing

    Basically, my sister told me that my parents would let me get a breast reduction at my current age, but not a breast removal. They know all too well that I'd go to the smallest size I could. Wtf? What difference would it make by just completely removing the breast tissue? I don't get them. They also seem to still refuse that I am 100% trans, and are STILL blaming it on some stuff that went on at school a few years ago. Its not fair.

    How can I talk to them about it?! It's seriously frustrating.

    I'm not sure how helpful I can be, but I have to say, that's just crazy. Parents really are weird and not always logical. (*hug*) I'd say fight this weird situation with proper facts and explain clearly what it is you want to happen and why. You've probably gone down that route already, but if you keep stating the facts you should get somewhere. (*hug*)

    Not just patents, family in general can be weird. My mom is totally cool with me being trans and understands I want my greats gone. Talked her into a breast reduction for now, but when I told my aunt I was getting a reduction she talked my mom out of it. Said I would regret getting rid of my DDs and that no guy will like a girl with small boobs
    1) that is just insulting to all the small boob people
    And
    2) I'm not a girl

    @reciprocal: I have tried that, but it always ends in a fight. I really dont understand that.

    @CadutiMorte: Wtf man... I don't want a reduction in case it interferes with a complete removal. But, my parents refuse to let me get top surgery done earlier than a removal.
