Lost and confused
I believe that I'm a trans man, and I've been identifying as such since I was 11 years old. So six years now. About a year ago now I came out to my parents it was weird to say the least.
My step dad commented on my chest multiple times after I told him I've been binding with multiple sports bras for years now, word for word he said 'so you actually have big tits?' that comment is just etched into my brain and continues to make me uncomfortable. While my mom asks me why and blames herself. Not once have they used my correct pronouns instead they'd occasionally refer to me as it instead. Everytime they say she, daughter, girl anything like that it just makes me cringe
The whole sintuation has confused me honestly, now I'm doubting myself like am I really trans? What if I've just been faking it the whole time? Even if I did transition they'd never see me as man and I know my grandparents would cease any contact with me. I don't know if I'm actually trans or if my family is just getting to me.
Is there anyone that is comfortable with issues like this? Would love to have someone to talk to so I can get a different perspective.
@Zommbee hi there. that truly sounds like an unfair and disrespectful situation to be in. it is really unfair how your parents talk to you like that and don't respect your pronouns or your identity as a whole. how have you been dealing with this issue so far?
Most the time I just ignore it and move on with my day. It makes me uncomfortable and angry when they misgender me but I've pretty much accepted my fate since they've acted very dramatic the few times they did gender me correctly. Talking to them about this seems hopeless as well. So I'm just sorta dealing with it by being passive and ignoring the issue.
