My parents are divorced, so my dad is still in the dark. My mom, my sister, and brother on the other hand now know.
The three of them are really open minded people, my mum is spiritual, my brother a vegan punk, and my sister can be defined by her dislike for the politics of our state, Texas. They have all these open minded ideas, but when i came out to them.. it's like they didn't believe me and they still don't. I think they try to not pay attention to me when I even discuss being a man.
At first I thought they actually accepted me, but... My mom only thinks she understands because she has a gay friend and considers it the same as being transgendered. I tried to explain to her it's not the same, but she dismissed me because I'm younger and, truthfully, she just doesn't want to hear it.
And then a couple days ago she told me, "No matter what you do you will always be my baby girl."
If my mom can't even accept me for who I am I can't imagine ever telling my Conservative dad.
I can only wonder what I can do because I don't want to lose my family once I'm able to go further on my journey to becoming a man. I love my family so much, and not to sound vain, but I've always been the one that my whole family has seen as always being there. I'm the only one who calls my parents regularly, and I'm the only one my siblings come to when they need help.
There's so many things I get excited about, like when I got my first binder, I wish I could share my excitement with the ones I love.
