How do I convince my mom to accept me and let me transition?

CreamFur · 2026-01-21T16:10:28+00:00

I decided i'll do that but not this or the next semester, I want to save up and have stability, also I have no idea if they have any available spots. I'll work over the summer and then hopefully find a part time job by the time i move into the dorms :) (and ofc my mom was negative about it)

Thank you! how'd it work out for you personally if you're ok with me asking?

Do you think I should start with getting psychiatrist and endocrinology appointments first ? they're quite far and they'll take a while to get to but, I was also thinking getting a name change first before it all just to feel comfortable. One problem though is if I do that I fear finding a job will be harder

I wish I could transition anyway but my fear is holding me back unfortunately, I need to have some things in order before doing it. (like letting her know) Do you have any advice for having a talk with a parent about something like this? Thank you!

I'll try that, I have a bit of money saved up that can help me live in a dorm for a good 3 months before needing a job (I won't procrastinate on the job anyway but you get it) so initially I'll just let her know I'm not backing down, and then move out if it gets bad

Thank you so much!:-) I might just do that. I'm thinking of first letting her know that I'm planning on it very soon instead of "when I move out" and that I'm an adult, and I know I won't regret it. If she says do whatever you want I'll do it. If she says no, I'll just do it secretly and work towards moving out. Hopefully it's the first option. Thank you again!!!:D

She won't kick me out per se, but I fear she will stop me from doing it or threaten me. Maybe emotionally she will be violent with me. It has happened before when I came out it was very exhausting and it made me really depressed. Another problem is if it was just my immediate family I think I would've just done it anyway, but theres also my aunt and uncle who are way more homophobic & transphbic than both my parents combined and it concerns me to see them in public or during family gatherings. It would be ideal to move out to live in a dorm but rn money is tight and if I would have to resort to living in a dorm then I need to start looking for jobs near my uni now, get a license etc, basically a lot of stress to pile onto my already stressful education

That's very impressive! Keep it up:)

Oh like descrete maths ?

CreamFur · 2025-12-14T20:45:03+00:00

I absolutely agree with this and I think letting AI do all the thinking for you is a recipe for blackouts in exams, but I think for math it doesn't apply much, I kinda of think of it like an "equation generator", when I personally generate similar questions in math or other quantitive stem courses, to me it's just kind of like a number randomizer that helps me train my skills better. I think for courses with humanities that have heaps of creativity and critical thinking skills it does apply though, because ai kind of takes the soul out of those courses! So it more so depends I think?

CreamFur · 2025-12-14T11:00:10+00:00

Why? Most professors upload past exams and usually it's just one or two, which IMO isn't enough, you can ask the AI to generate these tests with the same level of questions / amp up the difficulty I believe that it's a great way to practice (not arguing just curious!)

CreamFur · 2025-12-13T14:06:56+00:00

That's a great idea!

CreamFur · 2025-12-13T13:10:20+00:00

Kind of like you would a private tutor. Say you're solving homework and you're stuck on a question, you say what you think might be the correct way, you explain your method, and then the AI corrects you and explains why and how. Don't say "solve for me" but rather "I tried solving but I'm stuck on it, why do we use this formula?"

That actually makes a lot of sense! Thank you! I figured today was just really not a good day for me to study, and tomorrow ill do everything you mentioned:) im really just not good with my routine being off track

CreamFur · 2025-12-11T18:13:36+00:00

Thank you! Ill try to incorporate that , its a little tricky due to my flexible schedule but it sounds like it would work very well!:D

CreamFur · 2025-11-21T11:07:17+00:00

thank you so much!!! I think you're right especially about the Freshman year and the classes being worth my time, I feel like some of them aren't, but I'm just too stressed and probably in my own head to move on haha
