To the parents of Transgendered Children
Post Body

*Im sure this gets asked a lot and in my very depressive state I havent looked already in the subreddit*

I found out today (on all days) that my mother (58) will never accept me (MTF emma 31) as a female.I was told if i were to present female around her that she would refuse to call me by my name and correct pronouns, and that she would no longer be my mother, but just a close roommate. She is too caught up in the fact of "losing her son". And I get that. That she is in fact wont have a son anymore. But I am the same person. I am still her CHILD. Children are genderless in nature. I am her offspring, nothing can change that.

So i guess what I am asking to you the parents of Transmen and Transwomen, Have you come to terms with your child being transgender? How long did it take? What helped you get to the point you are at now? I am open to all answers as I am trying to better my understanding with what my mom is going through, and how if any can i help her come to terms that yes her son is gone, but me as her child is still here.
