#transphobia vent

[catboykatebush]

I feel like almost everyone in my life liked me better (or at least acted like it) (including a lot of the other queer people I know) when I was still going along with pretending to be a cis girl and before I took HRT. and I try not to allow the feeling to get to me but it does and I hate it

Transphobia, parent death mention, below the cut.

Idk y’all I think the worst thing I’ve ever been told as a trans person is “your parents died because they couldn’t live with having a ‘freak’ as a child.”

I was deadnamed in my mother’s obituary.

I never got to hear my father say my current name or call me his son.

My parents both died from addiction, and believe me, I’ve wrestled with thoughts that I was the reason they couldn’t get clean and sober.

But fuck? To hear your worst possible fear be voiced out loud by a stranger that hates you? That’s fucking scary and damaging. And my worst fear is having been the reason my parents are dead.

I just wanted to talk about this somewhere idk.

Small acts of transphobia

Telling a trans guys boss "I don't like that she corrected me when I called her a ma'am"

My mother telling me "it's too inappropriate of a topic to discuss" when I told my 14 year old cousin I was trans and to call me a he (he promptly high-fived me and then she chewed my ass out)

And many more to come from your local conservative community

i just want to vent today about my transphobic dad

it's honestly uncomfortable to be around him knowing that if he finds out I'm trans he could disown me and there's nothing I could possibly do about it

he'd probably think i was disgusting if he found out, and he'd probably try to "convert" me to being cis

why does this have to be happening

i just want to be happy
