Jacob- That is my grandpa. He loves me, but refuses to see me as anything but his little girl *sigh* - it is hard, but I put up with it because he is 92.

It is hard to deal with, because these grandpas come from a different generation where this is unheard of. Still deep down you want them to come around and see you as the man you are.

My mom and I have a very shaky relationship since I've started to grow older and have adopted a more and more masculine wardrobe. She wouldn't react well to my coming out no matter how I phrased it, since she has given me so much agony over my appearance and how I should start using my "feminine enhancements" to get ahead in the world. Plus saying that "you're too old to be masculine", yeah... ^^::

I love my dad, and he loves me, but he'll always view me as his daughter because he's ashamed of his physical and mental disability and how it (if I had been born cisgender) would have kept me from having the same beginning years as my brothers. When I tell him that I'm a guy, basically, he feels ashamed at his own disability since he now can't provide for me what he provided for my (cisgendered) brothers.

Oh, and I hate it when females try to include me in things, especially shopping for clothes/getting manicures/pedicures. I mean, I grin and bear it, but I feel the urge to run away to a bookstore or the men's underwear section. It's pure hell if I'm forced to try stuff on for hours and hours at a time. Thankfully, though, a lot of my friends are extremely tomboyish girls, so I avoid a lot of those situations.
