How the fuck do I convince my parents that I'm bi?
So, I (19, probably trans MTF) came out to my dad a few months ago as bi. Both my parents are Catholic and fairly homophobic.
It didn't go so well (shocker), and he didn't seem to really believe me. Eventually, he said that the reason I had these feelings now were because my older brother assaulted me when I was 10.
This is right after I had made a lot of progress in working past that trauma with my therapist, btw. I was pretty upset but we both just kind of stopped talking about it.
Fast forward to a few days ago, and the topic came up again. I said something along the lines of "hey, not sure if I misinterpreted what you said before, but like, you don't really think I'm bi because of that, right?"
He dug in and said that yes, that's true, and my mom also thinks that as well. Apparently, she claims that she's seen it happen to women she knows.
IDK what to do. I don't necessarily want to cut off contact, but at the same time, it's really hard to move on from that trauma when someone you know says shit like that.
Also, if we can't even have a conversation about being bi, I can't even imagine what the trans, or at the very least, drag convo is gonna be like.
Sorry for the vent -_-
EDIT
Thanks for the kind words. Will try and just continue to live my life the way I want to
