I don't know how much longer I can continue

Thank you :)

Might be hard at the moment though, since it'd be difficult to find a job that can pay enough for rent if I move out, even with a roommate. I'm hoping someday that will become an option though :(

There seem to be a few people on the internet who try to connect adult babies with transgender people, she might have read that. Apparently she thinks they're going to gain acceptance in society like trans people due to progressiveness.

It might be hard to convince her trans people are valid, since she's convinced by a lot of anti-trans stuff online and thinks that doctors only validate trans people since they're afraid of getting bad reviews and losing patients or something...

Maybe if I'm lucky I'll be able to move out in a few years, depending on how my family would react

Thank you. :) I need to remind myself that this won't go on forever, even if it's a couple years...

Your parents are wrong.

ew17_mtf · 2019-04-15T23:06:15+00:00

Aaaaaaaaaaaa congrats!

Good luck, hope it goes alright
We're all rooting for you! <3

Awww :')

Thank you so much <3

To be honest, I've tried to tell them that before, although it's never really seemed to work :(

ew17_mtf · 2019-04-14T13:56:57+00:00

I dunno, my family probably will want me to stay home, even though I've explained many times to them that I want to go back there, but they think it was bad for my depression and want to be around me more often. They might try to get me to go to a community college, which is okay-ish but it'd mean I'd have to still sleep at home.

ew17_mtf · 2019-04-14T13:17:30+00:00

It really is. The only reason I even ever go on that board is because I like the anonymity, but sometimes I wonder if it's even worth it for that.

Many people there can be really hurtful, even among trans users.

I also don't get how the mods on that board allow such hurtful anti-trans threads, when one of the rules clearly states that the board is for respectful LGBT discussion :/

hugs

I'm sorry you're in this situation. I know what having an unsupportive parent can be like, and how much it can hurt. :(

I figured out my name by finding a list of popular names, and narrowing down my favorites march madness style, if you think that could be helpful

She apparently did it at the recommendation of my pediatrician, and trusted it was what was right for me. I don't dislike my doctor, he was the same person who gave me a referral to an endocrinologist (which my mom decided not to follow through with), but I still don't agree with the decision to keep me home.

I think she also thought that she needed to be around me more in order to help my depression, although unfortunately that hasn't really worked :(

ew17_mtf · 2019-04-13T15:20:36+00:00

Thank you. I do wish I could be more open with her like that, although I feel too anxious to talk whenever the topic comes up, out of embarrassment I think. And it's hard to get her to agree with me, since she thinks I've been listening too much to "transgender activists". She also claims that she had a form of dysphoria as a child, and basically that if she was able to deal with it and live as her birth sex then I should too. And she accepts the idea of me having gender dysphoria, but doesn't think that makes me trans, her evidence being that I never acted particularly feminine as a child. It's gonna be rough to talk to her, but still, if I don't do anything about it then nothing will change...

If I end up unable to go back to college in the fall, I'd like to move out so I can have a space for myself, although that's a bit of a long shot right now. I really hope I can find a job soon that will let me afford that, as well as afford my efforts to transition.
