Don’t even have to come out to know my parents don’t accept me
I just realized that I’m genderfluid about a month ago (really should’ve figured it out sooner lol, I’ve been wondering if I’m in the wrong body since I was five) and my family has never been the happiest about me being lgbtq. I came out as bi to my mom and sister last year, and both of those were met with negative responses. I technically came out to my dad, but I think he’s in denial. That’s unrelated to this, though
A few weeks ago, I posted an image to my Instagram story that I really like. It was a Sylveon with a pink, blue, and white background, and was captioned with “protect trans rights.” Literally nothing bad. But my sister found this, and she showed it to my mom when we were all in the car together. My mom instantly got mad with me, started fighting about how actually, trans people’s rights aren’t being taken, and thus don’t need to be protected and that trans people somehow are and are not their chosen gender (didn’t make sense to me idk how to put it) but the thing that stung most was that about halfway through the debate, when I had pulled up the Kansas State legislature that said trans people can’t get a driver’s license (her defenses were “I don’t believe you” and “they can just change it!”) I realized that this whole thing meant that my mom doesn’t accept me. She doesn’t know, of course, but it just hurts.
I’m sorry if that was long, I just needed to vent.
