Jakes POV.
So me and my mom are non stop arguing lately due to me coming out as transgender. She doesnt understand the way that I feel isnt a tempary thing. Its not a phase. Its forever and Im not going to start feeling like I can be a woman any time soon. I am Jake Edwards. A man who dyes his hair a lot and lives for flower crowns.
My dad has been my rock. He doesnt really understand but he attempting to and hes so supportive. He calls me jake and he uses my prefered pronouns AND I took him to group and everyone was saying how quickly he is coming around to this. Im glad he supports me. I can live without my mom not fully supporting me if my dad continues to be my rock like he always has been thoughout the years. When I came out to my dad I could not phycically say that i was transgender..... so I made him guess. He pointed out that I have been presenting more masline and that I had cut my hair... he then just looked at me and hugged me and told me everything is going to be okay. Whenever I think back to that day I just smile and my face floods with tears. All i needed at that time was for someone to tell me that Im okay, to tell me its normal, and he did that without even knowing what was going round in my head.
My dad was the person who I first told about my self harming too. He got me help and Im a year and a half clean. Without my dad I'd still be in the sane dark place that I was in a year and a half ago or maybe ended up even worse
******************************
Me being me and me being addicted to the internet,I start looking to LGBT+ YouTubers. When I stumble across a coming out video. Alex Bertie?? Hhhuuumm hes.... CUTE!
So I clicked on the video then I found myself clicking on another,then another and then another until I came to the realisation that Ive got in way to deep and Im forming a obsession for yet another youtuber I dont even know.
Way to go Jake.
Well done
