So like my dad is proud of me and loves me but just really isnt on board with trans me. But Idk I’ve been feeling cautiously hopeful since on the car rides to and from work, we’ve had some fairly political conversations and we agree about literally any other issue. And on the way over today, he was talking about recent events on the news over the weekend. And aside from being glad I’m safe and that I’m not like at that kind of point. There was one part where he mentioned well if the worst thing my son does is leave a dish in the sink or something, I think we’re blessed. I doubt that good will will extend to like transness but like. Is there a way I can try to at least move him a little closer to the fence if not over it?

In the past I’ve tried having intelligent conversations with my parents on the subject but it always devolves before I can even get my word in. But I wanna hope ya know. Even if I’m not able to medically transition under this roof, if I could socially transition even privately in my own house without starting shit by existing, it would mean so much.
