My mom knows that I want a new therapist bc the last one tried to hypnotize the gay out of me. However, she keeps recommending women only groups and there's a little problem bc I'm a trans guy. How should I talk to her about the situation?
First off I’m really sorry to hear that you’ve gone through that sort of nonsense
If she already knows you’re trans, just ask to talk to her privately sometime and bring up that you’d prefer a mixed group or a private therapist as you don’t want to feel like your identity is being forgotten
If she doesn’t know and you feel comfortable coming out, again just talk to her privately, tell her how you’re feeling and explain why that would make you uncomfortableBeing open and honest is the best way to get her to understand where you’re coming from and how not to undermine your gender if she’s an understanding person
I hope that helps and I hope you’re able to sort this out!
