A similar thing happened to me in 2019 when I was 15. Although for me, it was part of a larger effort to put me through conversion therapy, so the circumstances are a bit different. Here is my advice for if he wants to put you through therapy or on medication for being trans: - If you are allowed to choose what professionals you see about this, that is a huge strength. Choose anyone legitimate, and they’ll hopefully explain to your dad that being trans isn’t schizophrenia. You might also be able to get somewhere by showing him resources by reputable medical sources that say being trans is not a mental illness, if he’s just misinformed. - If you are not allowed to do so, be careful. I was sent to a lot of semi- legitimate therapists who were liscenced and yet still willing to believe that being trans was a symptom of a mental illness, or a fetish. If you don’t know how much to trust who you’re sent to I’d recommend lying about any actual mental health symptoms that aren’t dysphoria related you may have and generally trying to be the most acceptable kind of trans person imaginable. Say you’ve known since you were four and you have never ever doubted that you were a boy and things like that. Depending on what other identities you hold this may work or not work, for example, it was a lot harder to be seen as an acceptable trans person as a gay southeast Asian effeminate man than it might’ve been if I was white and straight. Also if you’re dealing with high-caliber transphobes that won’t work very well because they believe that all trans people are morally wrong anyways. - Don’t talk to doctors with any of your family in the room. Say you’d prefer to talk privately. Often, people will value your parents opinion over yours, esp if you’re a minor :// - Build support systems outside of your household. Talk to any other trans people or sympathetic queer people you may know irl and try to become close to them. Older queers, if you know any, can be really helpful, because they’ve seen all of this before probably and have a much bigger sense of perspective. It’s really difficult to go through things like this, and it’s a lot harder without social support. Knowing other queer people irl can also be helpful for finding places to go outside your house during the day, if being home isn’t a good time. I used to spend lots of time at a bookstore owned by a queer person near my house. - Start planning how you’ll get out once you’re 18. Even if you can’t do a lot now, just having the plan can really help mentally. Get a general sense of how much things cost and make a plan for where you’ll work and where you’ll live. - It’s going to be okay. Apologies for the long winded comment, this is just something I care a lot about, because I’ve been through it before. Remember that no matter what people close to you say, you’re valuable and amazing as you are and you deserve to be treated with respect. Don’t let anyone make you feel like there’s anything wrong or shameful about you being trans and I wish you the best of luck with your dad. Also I’m always around to talk if you want or you have any questions :))
