[loganisazombie]

My dad, after i came out, has been purposely trying to fit 'daughter' 'little girl' in ANY sentence or statement he can. He refuses to believe im trans nd its getting really frustrating nd it hurts. I asked My brother the other day to stop calling me his sister nd he replied 'maybe if u grow a dick ill think about it'. ow. (Sorry im venting this out)

Here is a leaflet that can be shown. Its specifically for family.

Its for the british National Health Service, a reputable source.

They should realize its for real.

You might look for help. You might ask a school counselor, or someone from an lgbt center or plannedparenthood for help and counseling.

Another point to ask for help could be PFLAG.

Work with them as long as you can. You have to remember what a shock this is to them.  Still, one thing I have learned is there are people who will never in a million years and with unlimited educational resources ever accept us. They could be like that so prepare for the worse outcome. It sucks, but it is life.

Not to condone their behavior, but it's really hard for family sometimes.  Its been over five years and my family still uses the wrong name and pronouns.  I have quit talking to them, but if you want to preserve what you have with them, try not to get too overtly angry.  Your dad will probably be harder to win over than your brother, but pet persistence may do the trick.  Give them a hard time to show this is important to you, but keep it lighthearted.  If your brother says he will call you his brother if you grow a dick ask him if you can call him sister when you chop his off
