Trans Memes

I love my parents despite their flaws and they accepted and are trying to be supportive but... When I made my coming out things were said that was not really ok.

"Better that than a disease or cancer" ... I mean REALLY do I have to be compared to cancer or some kind of awful disease.

"Be careful about HIV." - > everyone should be careful about that. I know where this comes from but... Still.

And the classic : "you're still my son"

At the end they said child at least when I told then that's not the goal of my transition.

I understand they are from a different generation still. And somehow that was the best reaction they could have in my mind.

Edit : I have them some reading to understand a bit better some things. But teaching parents is hard.

Ugh its incredible how many people would unironically think like this🤮

Id rather accept everyone and hope for everyones happiness than be a hateful prick like that. Just sounds like a better life to me

Parents don't even need to be actively pushing you away they can just be dumb and oblivious to their actions and refuse to do any self reflection.

My mom is this way, she voted for Trump so I confronted her on it and told her she chose to support a vile man over her own child and she's just like "politics doesn't equal love, who I voted for doesn't reflect my love for you." I told her you can't vote to take away my healthcare and rights and still say she cares about me. She just refused to accept that and the last words she said to me was that I would understand things in time and come back to her. We haven't spoken in over a year and tbh life is actually better without her.

I know how this will play out too, she won't try and fix things until my wife and I have a child which will be the first grandchild of hers. At that point it will be far to late in my eyes.

I mean, the goal for them pushing them away is to radicalize them against their own interests.

isolation is a tool for abusers. they use it to instill fear and cement rejection. so you will reject your own feelings and thoughts and resort to theirs.

it's why it's used by religion, military and psychotherapy wards. it relies on the fact our brains are wired to seek out fulfillment of our existence by belonging to a group...

they just never expect a group of supporters to exist... it's why they demonize "others" so much. it circumvents control.

I'm not out to anyone but my spouse, and about 3-5 other people (3 for sure, two more if they have critical thinking skills since they were with us when I was in a skirt, tights, and wearing a trans pride necklace)

Honestly I don't plan on coming out to my family, because this is exactly how it will go.

I'll just let them figure it out over time I guess if I can start transitioning soon like I want.

Why is this marked NSFW?

What is this meme format?

The red is for communism
