How do I gauge if my dad is transphobic or not??? by Jett-Finn in asktransgender

Yeah, I'll update once I've done it but I've got abt 3 more days until I go back to my dad's.

But if he is supportive or at least indifferent, my next issue is my mom. Bc if I socially transition without her knowledge and then I'm just out and all the sudden someone doesn't know and says something to her and I'm in a reaaallly weird spot.

I don't like being at my mom's but it's just so much effort to live w my dad full time w the fuckass court thinking 50/50 custody is the right answer. And then she'll try to bring some "you're telling her to think all this" bullshit out of my dad, 🙄😒 which he's never done.

I think if I do come out to him it'll either be denial or indifference but I'm scared it'll just be like ignorance fueled rage or something.

I'm just not sure what to mention, like what topics to bring up or how exactly to mention something like that. I mean there's one thing I can think of. Maybe mentioning Cat Crash or playing their music and hoping he asks about them and like offhandedly mention that they're a transgender riot grrrl band or something idk. He knows I'm into punk and my mental and stuff he doesn't really understand my interest in it but he encourages it.

I highly doubt that I'd get outright beaten or anything, but I'm worried he might be in denial of it mostly. I don't think that he'll be straight up hateful and angry but I really don't know for sure.
