hello!
i came out to my mom about a year ago. she kind of forced me to come out...i couldn't stop crying and she said she "knew it had to do with gender." so i told her that i wasn't a girl and that i wanted to go on T and all that jazz. the only thing she really said was that she thought HRT would cause cancer (which i can't find any truth on) and she didn't ask me about names or pronouns or anything. it was never really brought up again.
until about a month or two ago. she randomly said one morning, "i know you're thinking about whether you should be a boy or a girl, but i need you to be a girl." she then didn't allow me to respond to that at all. at that point i thought things would be okay, but now everything is so much worse. my dysphoria is getting unbearable. i'm currently in the process of therapy and getting my evaluation for HRT done and i honestly feel like i could start within the next couple of months. but i don't know what to do when she still calls me her daughter.
for a bit of background: i'm a junior in college and i live with her. she's a single mom and i'm an only child. since i live with her, it's not like i could really hide it after awhile, but i'm at the point where i need to start T. i don't know what to do :(

OMG! That must have been so terrible to hear. I am sorry that her needs outweigh yours in her mind. I don't think coming out again will have any benefits at all. I really feel for you in this situation. :icon_hug: :icon_bunch:
