[PSY] Extreme conflict with "the Authority"?

[Ive]

Hello everyone,

during this journey of mine, another question comes to my mind.
Have you ever experienced an extreme conflict with "the Authority", such that you feel you cannot come to compromise in some parts of your life?
Let me give an example. I don't go to Catholic church since years: besides the fact that I don't believe in many of the Catholic things, one the things that I feel is that if I start to compromise, I will lose my identity, and do what they want.
This happens to me since a while, and grew in power with the years. I started to be more and more polemic about everything: with my family, with my friends, socially.
In these days I am at home, recovering from a period abroad and the discovery of my being transgender, and I am in a constant fight with my parents, in which I don't want to see contact-points, neither I accept compromises.
This has extended to other parts of my life, as work. I am just not able to come to compromises.

I think that this is something not only from LGBT community, but every person goes through this, at least once in his/her life. The conflict with "the Authority" and the solving of this conflict.

Have everyone had such experiences in their lives?
May this depend on the "abandon/protection" and "guilt" mechanism?

I also think that these things relate with the "acceptance" thing.

Kisses,
Iv.

I'm not sure if it the same, but there's many things I don't compromise on. It seems quite normal to me, though I think I might be a bit extreme compared to most people. If you reframe it as having integrity then it looks a bit different.

I'll compromise on things I don't care about, or if the cost is too high, but am really stubborn.

As far as religion goes I think my parents tried to send me to Sunday school when I was 5 or so and I refused to go.

I'm not sure how a person who intends to transition or assert their real identity can really "compromise" with an authority that clashes with these ideas. You either assert that identity or you don't, there doesn't seem to be any half-measure that trans people can find satisfying to both themselves and some other person or persons who find their trans status unacceptable.

In terms of conflict with authority? No, I don't have major clashes with any of it. There would need to be something at stake, something for me to lose to find myself in a position to care about whatever authority had the problem with me.

My mother doesn't respect the predicament of trans people but again I would have to care deeply about her opinion to find myself clashing rather than just shrugging and walking away. And since she's proven herself a totalitarian she hasn't earned the respect for me to care about her feelings on the matter. The same with other authorities like the church. Until they can fathom the concept of thinking outside the box and a book written thousands of years ago in ignorance of many scientific truths we enjoy today, there's little reason to engage them. Compromise goes both ways - you can't compromise with authority unless it too compromises with you.
