So, my dad and I, after me coming out, finally had a decent talk about me being trans.
He's accepting, but wary. He says he just wants to make sure that this is what I need. His biggest worry is actually a number. 13%, the suicide rate among transsexuals. He said that's the biggest thing he worries about.
As far as pronouns, he said he'd try his best to remember to call me Orion and to use he, him, and his. But he said that, while I'll always be his child, he doesn't feel like he can think of me as his son. But that his mind might change later on. He explained to me why he thought that way, and that with his memories, the only way he'll really be able to think of me is as his little girl who became a boy. I guess I can understand his reasoning.
The part that bothered me, was when he told me about his last discussion with my mom. She's in pretty hard denial it seems...even my dad can see that. But apparently she even when so far as to laugh when referring to me, and not even bother trying to use male pronouns.
It feels really good that my dad and I are starting to actually have a decent relationship after me coming out. But it bothers me that my relationship with my mother seems to be falling apart...
