Diary

6th may 2016

Idk. I came out as transgender the other day on facebook. My parents aren't really accepting and still call me by my female name and refer to me as female but I guess that's just what they're used to i guess. They grew up in a time when this kind of thing wasn't very common and they don't know how to go about it. I can tell my mum wants to ask questions but she's too scared to ask them. I wish she would ask them so that she can understand how I'm feeling better and maybe try to understand and use the correct name and pronouns but until she plucks up that courage it's just something I am going to have to deal with i guess. And that's okay with me. It's understandable to be honest. I just hope she can ask those questions soon so that she can finally respect my views a bit more. I am tempted to bring it up in conversation but I'm really awkward about these things face to face and I don't want to make her feel like she is a bad parent or hurt her feelings. I guess I'll wait for her to make the first move.
