Ive been an open ftm transsexual for about...2 years now.
My friends know it, my teachers know it, and eveyrone accepts me for it.
Except...
My mother.
And that wouldn't have so much relevance of it, if it weren't for the fact that i know shell never understand nor accept me for it at all.
My father understands it- my aunt was a transsexual.
But I don't think he supports me at all.
What am I supposed to do, when the two most important figureheads in my life don't accept me..?

Ah, the issue of parents.
Coming to grips with being a transsexual was no big at all compared to coming to grips with their inability to accept me.
I'm an Op in #chat if you ever want to stop by. It's a great place for support, and I'm always there for listing.
Peace, love and beats.

Felix,
You have to be who you are. Taht is the bottom line. I understand. I started to transition 20 years ago only to stop and not go through with it until just a year ago, after my mother had been dead a few years. The power a mother has over their child is very strong, but don't sell yourself short, and don't waste time like I did.
