ok so that one needs a little explaining hehehe. I unfortunatly..... or fortunatly dependng on the day, live acrost the country from my whole famly. half of who i have told that i am a transwoman are accepting the other half...... well i think telling them i went to jail or killed some one would have been better. and they are my parents..... they are the badger.....
Well i told my parents that i was a transwoman and was going to transiton early november, before any hormones. you would have thought i had shot there faverat pet infront of them. my mom sayng "I need proof" "i work in a lab i need genetic proof that you are"...... ya ok, well from then on my trans status was the whte rino standng in the corner of each conversation.
Well ths evenng after 2 months of silance about it i brought it up again. ended up having it out wth my mom again, another round of..... should talk to them about it first, and i should come to them saing i have these thoughts i need to talk about. basicly comming to them asking promssion. im 32 years old for hells bells. i dont need mommys or daddys promsion to make me right.
i ended the conversation in a rather blunt manor thou,, i knda feel bad but i had to put it out there. i told her "ok, we can talk about it latter. but i need to tell you this now. I have started hormones and they have stoped all the suicidal thoughts that i have been fightng."
Im still hlding out hope that i can bring them around.
If you sent them books or pamphlets, would they read them?
i sent as much info as i could. thats part of the 2 month wait. I was also hoping they would do some of there own research.
As you said, you are 35, their problem not yours!
Genetic test? Oh my goodness!
Stay well and strong Sis
I have to agree with Cindy. It's a pity they are in denial but if they don't want to be open minded there isn't a lot you can do about it. Hurts, I know. :(
As for genetic tests, they prove nothing. Being XY or XX (and all there varieties) doesn't make a jot of difference to how you identify your gender. During my first go at transition my endo had my chromosomes checked, oh god how I hoped that it would come back as anything other than XY. At the time I felt it would make me "legitimate", it would "explain" why I felt that way. No such "luck"... XY it was. That has led to a lot of self acceptance.
Anyway... on a lighter note...!

thank you ms grace i needed the pick me up there lol.
I know that there is no lab test that will or can indecate that some one is transgendered and to be honest i dont thnk i would trust such a test any way. and you two are 100% correct, I need to just let them be them and not worry so much about what they think.
Send the badgers some pix of their new daughter and go show her to them next vacation.
Well even if I don't send pics I will be making a trip there this summer and I will be out in full so they will have to see and take or leave me for good. Thanks for all the support you all are great.
