Title: Have been refused to go home like a plague
Post by: sylvannus on August 20, 2013, 08:24:46 AM
I was raised as a boy for 24 years before I could take charge of myself. When I talked about going back during Christmas time, however, my parents strongly refused me to approach home. They said it is because if I would be spotted by neighbors as a girl, they would be discriminated forever.

It is not a good feeling to be evaded like a plague. I am so sad.

This is my home now.

My only home.

So sad they feel that way but its why we have so much trouble in life. Its totaly funny how one who as a M or F can have rights but as soon as you say you are GID the world strips you of all rights and treat you as non human.

For me it was my X that could not handle the fact of what others would say. My family is like me they do not give a crap what others think and will stand up for any humans rights to be just that a human.

Good luck and look around and you will see here a large family that love you for who you are totaly.

Hugs
Izzy

Sorry to hear your parents are being like that and I totally understand how you feel.

My parents disowned me at 24 when I went for SRS and they never relented. I was not allowed back home, except for two short visits over 35 years. The most stupid part was that everybody in town knew from the time I was young so it was no secret. It was simply out of spite, to try to hurt me, but it was THEIR loss! The lost the chance to know someone they could have been very proud of.

Hang in there kid, they may yet relent, particularly if they think you are going to stick to your guns and not back down.
