This doesn't cover everything, such as verbal and mental abuse from others... I recently had to sit through on the phone (thankfully on the phone and not in person), my "Dad's" "lecture" yet again of oh I'm confused, I'm this gender so on and so forth all the while having to hear him name off many reasons why I am this gender and further sinking to a new low he added how certain parts of me are shaped and I don't pass (I do pass but the shapes get to me...) and I became VERY suicidal at that point and told him so, the "man's" response ticked me off to say the least but what's really disturbing is, ever since then, (a few weeks back) I've at least once a week remembered his dehumanizing and unsupportive words and it's sent me each time into a bad place, so I've had to block it but it keeps coming back into my head... I hate being this way, wish I could forget it all and start over in the right body, wish family and friends would accept me...
In the mean time I will continue to block out as much as I can, hope on the unknown future and try not to focus on the bad stuff... But yea, this article is good, just missing some key pieces that it ought to have. Maybe I can use this article when talking to come someday... doubt they'll listen.
Oh, don't worry, I won't be listening to my "Dad" doing that again, I'll sooner hang up the phone and something will need to be done about whenever we rarely see each other in person.
