How can I educate my parents?

Okay so I'm planning to start T soon but my family DOES NOT approve. I live somewhere where health care is free (thank God) so I don't have to depend on them in that aspect.

They are pretty ignorant to the subject. We live in a small town where you have to be just like everybody else or you're the freak everybody spreads rumors about. So yeah, they're pretty unaware.

How can I possibly do this? They are pretty much the type of people that don't understand this and think I'm just a butch lesbian.

Lmao Like, I'm going to start T without telling them (I haven't even come out to my dad and older brother yet) and if I don't educate them on the topic nobody will. They are fed with right wing propaganda all the time.

I need some tips please

Hard time with family

I'm having a hard time with my family, I hate that I'm seen as an extension of them, not as my own person.

There are elections going around where I live, the procedure is that the political parties send letters to each home with their programs and with a little card that is the vote itself, then you have to head up to the school where you vote and put it in the ballot box but what most people do is arriving there, grabbing a card THERE, the other method is more commonly used if you're voting via post.

Well, my dad not only "prepared" the "correct" card before leaving to just arrive and put it in the ballot box, I obviously wasn't going to vote for that political party since it's right wing/extreme right wing so I did what absolutely everyone does and grabbed my card there.

My dad was in charge of the polling place this year (what a coincidence...) and when he saw me grabbing another card he almost opened up the one I gave and I had to take it away from him, not only that but he also dared to ask if I had "betrayed them"? Like, excuse me? Wtf??

I seriously I'm so fucking done with this shit, everyone infantilizes me nonstop and also with my transition! Shit I came out to my mother 2 years ago and recently I asked her if she had come to terms with it and she said she "hopes I had forgotten"????? Excuse me? Does anything I say have any weight?

I'm so sick, it's like nobody takes me seriously and I'm here worried about letting them down ☠️ Thank God I'm an adult and going to start HRT by myself, because if I have to wait for acceptance I'll be miserable my whole life.

Qué habéis hecho al terminar DAM?

Acabo dentro de poco y no sé muy bien qué hacer, no sé si la empresa en la que estoy haciendo las prácticas tiene intención de contratarme o no y me gustaría ver qué opciones tengo.

Qué es lo que recomendáis? Especializaciones? Carrera? (En ese caso cuál) Trabajar para coger experiencia?

For some context, I've been 4 years into the IT career path. It's not actually a career that I'm doing but 2 courses that have lasted 2 years.

At the moment I'm finishing the second year of my "degree" (programming) while being an intern in a big tech company.

All that I see is people invested in this field, being into programming, having fun, researching. But the thing is that I just see it as a job, I don't hate it nor I love it, I just simply do it and like it a little more than everything else...

A lot of people from my class have a passion for it, I do not. And I'm seeing it more clearly now that I'm an intern for some months, I'm with another guy from my class who picks up stuff waaaaay faster than me.

We're not doing anything related to what we have seen in class, the people who are in charge of us gave us some documents to read and we had to learn as we went, but I'm just not like that, I have been doing this thing (the project they gave us as interns) for 3 months and I genuinely never know what I'm doing. I have to recur to AI a lot because I genuinely have no clue or passion about it, I'm not even programming...

It's like all these years I've been studying something and getting good grades at are... Nothing... This is the only career path I see myself in but I just don't know what to do... I'm going to be out in the job market in less than a month and I'm incredibly lost...

I feel dumb.

I've seen a bunch of people on Twitter claiming that trans men "weaponize being AGAB/AFAB" against trans women and I genuinely don't know where this is coming from and/or if it's something I should be concerned about.

I don't understand where that is coming from honestly, because to me it just sounds like trans men can't share their OWN experiences because they somehow put trans men and cis men in the same box which is stupid.

I'd love to hear y'all thoughts on this because I don't want to be ignorant abt this type of stuff lol
