This happened a while ago, but it still…makes me feel hurt. I know that some people when they ask their families if they ever knew their kid was trans, sometimes they get really funny answers like “oh you wanted to be called Frank as a kid” or “we could never get you out of your sister’s princess dresses because you loved them so much” and I thought that maybe my own family could offer things on that

So, I asked my dad.

I would’ve been fine with a “no, I didn’t really notice anything” because I know that transness sometimes portrays itself later in life, but the response I got was “Nothing you do surprises me anymore.”

And like???????? I didn’t know how to take that. I asked my grandma the same thing and got that response back basically. It hurts a lot for some reason.

I still don’t know where they stand on supporting me. It feels more like acceptance for most of them than actual, like, joy for me.

Has anyone else experienced this? I wanna know if I’m alone on this or not.
