i randomly decided that today was the day i would come out to my parents as gender-fluid, and it went ok! my mom made some slightly transphobic remarks and was a bit redundant, but she got better as i explained. i know that she won’t not support me. i recognize the fact that she is just from a different era (and is straight cis) so she won’t really understand. my dad stayed silent the entire time, but cleared things up with me later. it went good, not perfect, but it’s unrealistic to except perfect. i’m just sad that everyone else in my shoes can’t have the same experience i had. even though it was a bit bumpy,its nothing compared to the hardships of some other trans people. i have loving and supportive parents; in this day and age, that is a privilege. to all my siblings who didn’t have as good of an experience coming out, and who don’t have supportive parents, know you are valid and loved for who you are, and you simply aren’t getting what you deserve right now. your day will come <3
