One tiny tiny TINY step closer to testosterone!

So yesterday I had a another chat with my psychologist and still things are moving very slowly  :-\ Which I guess does get depressing  :'( Today I gave my mum a little something I wrote up, and actually felt the confidence within me to talk more about it  ;D The letter itself was pretty detailed and had explained how I wanted to take testosterone. I really only left her with two decisions...either seriously look into getting testosterone or watch me suffer and possible consider suicide all over again :P I dont know if this was a really fair or nice thing to pressure her into  :-\ but Im really hurting and dont want to look like a girl when I grow up simply because my mother thought it would be best to "see if my mind would change".  :-X

So now here I am, and she is reading about what testosterone does ;D But shes only reading about the bad stuff it does  >:( Before all this, she obviously had no idea about the changes testosterone can cause in a girl. She said that no matter how much I take, that I will never look like a boy or feel like a complete one either  :'( So I showed her a video of the changes testosterone had on that guy called Skylareleven on youtube, and after it had finished, my mum was like "oh I reckon it messes up your brain, you can still see there is something not quite right about him... or SHE or IT" and that just made me so angry  >:(

Aaah, I dont think she is gonna end up being very supportive, even tho she always said she would have. But she is taking the time to read about what testosterone does! She believes that age may be an issue however. Although I am hoping I can win her over! Still, the plan is to make some noise, come out of hiding and show my mum that it is a big deal, that something needs to be done and I am sad!  :( Im taking everything to the next step  :P Every time my mum calls me "she" I will correct it ;D

I am glad you took that step. The only reason she is diggin out the bad info and being all iffy about is because it's hard for her and I'm sure you understand that. In her mind, she gave birth to a girl and raised a girl. Hopefully, she'll come around and realise you're not mucking around.

Good luck and keep in there.

I think that was a good call to show her Sky.  She was probably being stubborn when she called him "she or IT," but you really can't deny how great Sky looks on T.  It probably gave her something to think about. :)

Just keep taking things at a steady pace.

You have to stand up to them sometimes. My parents gave me a ton of crap when I came home with a haircut. They just don't really get it and sometimes never will. Don't let it get you down (and suicide is certainly not the way to get anything done). You know who you are inside and what T will really do for you and that's all that matters. It seems like you're getting closer to full time by correcting her, which is something your therapist will probably like to see ^.^
