So many times, I see a young trans person anguish about their parent's reactions to them coming out. Here's a reminder that parents may grow into you being trans.

For instance, I was confident that my father would never truly accept me as ftm. Initially, it certainly felt like he hadn't. I felt like he didn't want to try. But, he was, I think. Now, about a year later, he's grown into my identity. He's much more understanding of trans issues, and I can openly speak about being trans, just so he knows what's going on.

Just like I had to get used to being trans, he had to get used to it, too, though as a parent.

I don’t have a better idea than you do.

That’s more about how you feel yourself and how you choose to define that behavior. There are a lot of straight people that watch queer porn, and there are even more queer people that watch it.

the reason you want to be bettrr is the reason you aren't

Hiii! I hope you still get to read this! Go to the nearest hospital and tell them you’re feeling suicidal, call people that you know will pick up and help you, knock on your parents’ door if you have to, go for a walk, schedule a therapist appointment, roll up in blankets until it feels okay again,.. Do something, but never give up! Life gets rough sometimes, but it’s okay to reach for help! Even if it takes some time, recovery is always worth the effort! Please don’t give up just yet! xx

hey friend, we did — but you can also search for it yourself? we put a lot of time and effort into replying to the messages people send in, you gotta be willing to at least take a few minutes to look for it (: however, this might be your message here <3
