Just to make things clear. I am not out to anyone and I still present as female, my hair is actually shoulder length so I can still do this. My mom called me today and started yelling at me about how I look. I have told her that I am trans before but she acts like I never have. She is very transphobic. Today she said she is uncomfortable with how I dress because I look like a dyke and people think I am one. She has gay friends, so I don't see why this is an issue. I assume she really is homophobic and is just pretending to be ok with it since that's the popular opinion. For awhile the conversation was just me saying something like: If you aren't homophobic then why do you have a problem if people think I am a lesbian? Eventually she said that her main issue was me being transgender. I made it clear to her that I was planning on transitioning after I become financially independent. So she no longer wants to help me pay for college so I can become independent. She said she would talk this over with my step dad and they will decided if they are going to disown me. I live with my grandparents. My grandmother loves shows with gay men, but she is also homophobic and transphobic. I know my grandfather is agaisnt gay marraige but he said he wouldn't love his child any less if they were gay. My mom and grandmother both would love their child less. Since my grandfather said that, I don't think he is going to kick me out. I really just don't know what to do. I really only have about $1,000. This is happening a lot faster than I thought it would. And to top it all off I have never known my biological father, only reason why I even know his name is because it's on my birth certificate. No has ever talked to me about it, so I know nothing. I just assumed there was a good reason why he wasn't in my life. However his family has been sending me messages on Facebook.
