[Transphobia] I came out to my parents and it went as well as I thought... (lemm.ee)

So my family invited me over for Christmas like they do every year. I didn't think it would be a good year but I went anyway. When I showed up they were very nice to me until I came in and they saw that I have earrings and they also noticed that I haven't cut my hair in a while. Then they started acting very weird around me, and whispered to each other. Then when we were eating at the table they asked if I'm a transvestite. I put my fork down and I said "No, I'm not a transvestite. I am a trans girl".

My mother cried and got very sad and my father got angry, saying he "didn't raise his son to be a sissy". I responded though by saying: "Who said just because I'm a trans girl that I'm a sissy? 💪" To that he got pissed but couldn't say anything in response. I think they were hoping I'd be upset or offended, maybe even cry, but I didn't and honestly I expected their behavior. I'm not upset or hurt, just mildly disappointed in them for not at least trying to be better people.

I've known they were transphobic and right leaning for a while and I'm not surprised at all by their behavior. I kind of thought they'd get better but it's not surprising they didn't.

Anyway, I just wanted to share this, I hope you all have a merry Christmas, and please stay safe. Don't hang out with transphobic assholes for Christmas if you can help it.

my father got angry, saying he “didn’t raise his son to be a sissy”. I responded though by saying: “Who said just because I’m a trans girl that I’m a sissy? 💪” To that he got pissed but couldn’t say anything in response.
