>born in south>conservative parents, went to private christian (not catholic) school>they prayed in 2015 for same-sex marriage not to be legalized>come out as bi in 2019, one slightly tense conversation but then completely ignored>troon out at 22>very unaccepting, calling me constantly to argue with me for months, calling me A, even listing specific features that would always clock me as a man>move away, pass after a few years>suddenly they're all sunshine and rainbows, mom tells a story about seeing an obvious early stage troon working retail and my dad going out of his way to she/her, call her "hon" (lol), etc. wtf why weren't they like this for me. they aren't even republicans anymore. my mom deadass helps parents of other troons come to accept them in facebook groups. like this is objectively the good ending but its also bullshit.QOTT:>did your parents accept you?>did that surprise you?>did their acceptance change over time?
conservatives want same sex attracted men to pretend to be women, it's less threatening to them, you are neutralized by that point and will never truly rebel against the system the way being loudly effeminate and aggressive and dating men openly as a man would

QOTT:>did your parents accept you?Nope just my dad and he doesn't. 13 years hrt, socially transitioned>did that surprise you?No it's not surprising, I'd be surprised if he did.>did their acceptance change over time?Kind of. First time I came out he just went silent and pretended it didn't happen, second time he screamed at me and said I'd be a freak incapable of having a normal life and nobody would hire me. I sucked it up and dealt with it and ignored him. For a while he would point out body parts of mine or go into detail about why I won't look like a woman and find reasons to call me big and manly. He was super hostile towards it. He turned a lot nicer to me the last few years and stopped doing that stuff but won't use pronouns for me(like forming awkward ass sentences) and won't use any name for me so it's just like "hey you...".
>>42097250im sorry anon, i hope he gets better.>13y hrtdid your life settle down after a certain point? im at a weird place (coming on 3y hrt) where i feel like everything might be ok but im still very nervous about it
>>42097289>im sorry anon, i hope he gets better.Naaaah it's cool I don't expect him to and don't feel anything about it, it is what it is >did your life settle down after a certain point? im at a weird place (coming on 3y hrt) where i feel like everything might be ok but im still very nervous about itAfter a while it chilled out. It was a wild rollercoaster but now my life is alright
>>42097099>did your parents accept you?only came out to my mom, i'm low contact with my dad and i'm assuming he doesn't like tranny stuff but would just force himself to accept me>did that surprise you?yes she is genuinely a white supremacist and I'm not even joking, has talked about how superior whites are and that she hopes I never bring muslims or blacks home but doesn't mind that i'm a tranny and bi and have a trans girlfriend>did their acceptance change over time?I think? But in a good wayWe don't really bring up anything about me being trans but when I ask her about taking me to laser or being bras she's just very nonchalant about it and treats it like any other subject, she's also used the feminine versions of certain words when talking to me (by accident i'm guessing?) and it felt kinda nice but I don't really care if she sees me as a woman or not It's just cool that she can help and not care
I was 24 when I trooned out and I didn't quite care whether they'd accept me or not. I was already living on my own.I told them 3 years into hrt when it was a bit hard to hide and I was getting ready to file the paperwork for the name change.>did your parents accept you?Dad suggested a cute feminine middle name. I actually took his suggestion.>did that surprise you?No. My parents didn't quite care about these things, like ever. One way or the other. They're standard European post-religious right winger (so am I lol) - taxes, immigration, economic policy, things like that while social policy that doesn't cost money is "live and let live" by default.>did their acceptance change over time?Yes. They didn't like my husband at first, but now they do.The more extended family changed, though. From not wanting to have anything to do with me to slowly tolerating me and in the last 2-3 years being increasingly nicer.Last month an old aunt told me she'd wish she'd had a daughter like me. That was warming, ngl given that this woman was calling me a fetishist faggot a decade ago.It helped a lot that I got married and basically did the normie things and have been living my life as a woman.Now it likely also helps that I do take care of my parents while some elderly in the extended family have been abandoned by their sons.
>>42097099my mom cried a little but nowadays she rly doesnt care.. ill always be her son in her eyes but she isnt super hostile abt it
>>42097099>did your parents accept you?my dad is a 'progress is good no matter what' person and he accepted and encouraged me. my mom threatened to kill herself >did that surprise you?no>did their acceptance change over time?i transitioned anyways and enough family friends started asking my mom when she had a son that she's accepted it now and pretends i'm not trans and that she always had a son. so i guess
