My Ort

CW: Rant, Transphobia, Christianity

Holidays arent really as great when ur trans. Ive gotten Christmas cards for granddaughters and i still get introduced as a daughter or granddaughter even though ive been out to my parents for a while. Im not a Christian and none of my family knows but my little brother says hes excited to show me their new church, a place full of misgenderimg and suffering for me. Every time i think of my step mom i always remember the way she talked about queer ppl and how transgender ppl are abominations but when asked about my best friend being one she said “well, shes just confused, im sure you can keep trying and convert her so she can be saved.” and like... No, karen. You cant say something about an entire id of ppl and pick about the ones you think you can “cure” . No you called all of us an abomination.

And my dad ranted for hours it seemed in the car about how deadnaming and misgendering isnt transphobic bc his religion n stuff but its just human decency to address someone correctly, and call them by what they go by.

I love my dad. And hes trying his best to keep good connection but its all just there it seems to keep me quiet. And it hurts bc i love him so much and i look forward to actually looking more like ive inherited from him.
