So I, 19 mtf, recently came out to my parents (3 weeks ago). Everything I've discussed so far has been one on one with each of them. Also depression runs in both sides of my family, as well as autism on my dads side and ADHD on my mums side.

My dad gave the simplest reaction, saying "Well, I don't believe it exists". But then followed up with a variety of things such as "Even when I was a teen, I sometimes wished I was a girl." Plus a lot of depression related stuff.

My mum gave a much more transphobic response, citing the steroetypical womens bathrooms "argument", amongst some other things that I couldn't really argue against at the time due to lack of knowledge (except the bathroom stuff which I could). She has also mentioned stuff like exploratory therapy and from what I can tell, she has the idea in her head that trans people are "creepy (old?) men, dressed in really skimpy outfits etc going into womens bathrooms for sexual reasons".

Also she's ranted to me about autogynephilia after I mentioned I had friends who are trans in the past. We both agreed that we'd send each other some stuff to read as well regarding this avenue of discussion.

Despite this though, they have said multiple times that they still love me. Also, ultimately no change thus far as I haven't told them to start referring to me by a new name/pronouns yet so I don't know how willing they'd be with that.

What I'm currently looking for are good, reputable documents/articles/whatever that I could use in my favour. I have some, one from the gov and several from places such as the Royal College of Psychiatrists and some academic papers on the new use of exploratory therapy and its horrible effects on trans people subjected to it. Thanks for anything provided!
