i came out to my parents as a trans man a year ago, since i was forced out of the closet. (they read an online journal entry where i explicitly stated i was trans) and since then, they've been focusing on trying to get me to detransition.
they believe i've been groomed into thinking i'm trans (they don't explicitly say that to me, but boy is it implied HEAVILY), despite the fact that i realized i was trans completely independent of anything else. i didn't have any trans friends or even know what being trans was (apart from knowing a girl in my class in the 1st grade who's trans), i just- Realized one day.
AND EVEN BETTER they keep comparing me to 1) a "fake trans woman" according to them, who apparently is grooming children and 2) a "real trans woman", that girl in my 1st grade class who i literally havent seen since then.
it's incredibly isolating, because i hate how they don't think i know what i want. i just want to be accepted as the boy i am, is that too much to ask??
