Coming Out

Post Reply New Topic

I just came out. When I did, my mother said that I'm learning about LGBT things from the Internet, when in reality I've been trans since 5th grade, and in 4th grade I had this ridiculous crush on a boy, and the boy, also autistic, said he wanted my sex. He also told me tag he wanted me to (sexually) come and "go downtown". I rejected, but he took his clothes off and I had a meltdown. Anyway, my dad thought the same as my mom, and said "when born a man, you are a man". I'm also gay transgender. How can I make my parents know I really am a trans?

Ok, so this time I came out again, mom thinks I don't know what transgender means, and that I think I'm transgender because I want my voice to be high, all of which is false. I told her what I think transgender is, she said it was right, and I replied with, "And that's me." She said that I will always be a boy and forbidden me from visiting Wrong Planet or any website other than music-related ones, and that when I face time my friends that she will be in on it. I looked up to see if this parental behavior is normal for trans youth, and sure enough it is. What the ****
should I do?

That's horrible. >.< Do you go to school away from home? Maybe you can tell a teacher about it, or social worker (counselor) if your school has one. They might be able to reason with your mom.

Try looking for an LGBT support group in your area. Perhaps they can provide all the advice you want in order for you to try and get your parents to understand you being transgender.

At my school, I am friends with a transwoman, so if you want, I can get in touch with her when Fall classes begin at the end of this month to see if she can provide you with advice.
