Came out to my parents just before Christmas and...
Tw- Light mentions of suicide and transphobia. Tagged NSFW just in case So, I had my first consultation ahead of starting HRT in mid December. The Dr who I had my consultation with said that I should come out to them, as their reaction won't be as bad as I think it will be. I sent a text teling them my name and pronouns and that I am trans. We had a Zoom call that evening, in which, through floods of tears, my mum told me a whole host of disgusting things such as "you'll never be a real woman", no matter what you do etc, and that they will never use my chosen name or she/her pronouns for me. I then spent Christmas with them, and had to put up with those comments the whole time as well as a tirade of abuse against my girlfriend who has been blamed for me being trans. I left just before the new year, and didn't see them again until the start of this month, when I returned from Uni. Again, my mum was being incredibly disrespectful towards me, and my girlfriend (who decided more than a year ago that they didn't respect her enough for her to be willing to go), and my mum began a new campaign to try and get me to stop, which included telling me that no "mutilations" to my body will make me a woman and that "you've always been a perfect son, and now you're doing this". I then left to be with my girlfriend, and returned this weekend, and they have ramped up the comments, with my dad saying that I look like a tramp, and that the clothes that I wear are disgusting (for reference I was wearing a skirt and jumper which I feel very confident in). Will this ever change? What can I do to help myself? I still believe that there can be a relationship, but I know that if I had come out before leaving for Uni then I would not be here today. Am I making something out of nothing?
