Susan's Place Transgender Resources

I can't believe it! Last night, my boyfriend started ->-bleeped-<- with me again, all the emotionally & mentally abusive ->-bleeped-<- that I've been dealing with through this whole relationship, and I snapped because I just can't take it any more. So my grandmother asked me what was wrong today, and started going off about him and everything. And I ended up telling her how I'm just sick of life and always being the person that everyone else can ->-bleeped-<- on and treat like ->-bleeped-<-. And I told her that's how I've felt my whole life with growing up being bullied, being discriminated against for jobs, and then being treated like this in a relationship and how it's all brought me to the conclusion that the source of my problems comes down to being perceived as & living under the wrong gender. And I told her that I've really been feeling like I should be a guy and that I was on this forum talking to others who've had similar experiences and problems in life and how a few of my closest friends now call me Seth and she says, "So Seth, does this mean you're through with him?" And I was just shocked! My crazy, hateful, angry, racist, homophobic grandmother is cool with it!  :o ;D Though she did ask "Does this mean you're gay?" and I said, "Well yeah, a gay guy!" Then she asked "Do you feel like you want to be in love with a man?" and I said, "after all this ->-bleeped-<-, I don't want to be in love with anyone ever again!" and she laughed. I can't believe how cool she is with it.

me too.

But I'm so chuffed for you. You need a break, let's face it.

So happy for you, that your grandmother, inspite of all you thought, came through for you, when it really matters.

Grandmothers, eh? What made them so wise?
