Non supporting parents
What should I do if my mom loves me but she doesn’t respect me? I believe she’s trying to hold onto that little girl I used to be. I came out to her about 2 months ago and she says she loves me for who I am and what I do and she doesn’t care that I’m trans but that’s also the problem. She doesn’t care that I’m trans. She avoids discussion and whenever she does talk about it it’s something about pushing a gender agenda. She doesn’t ask me questions or try to get this side of me to open up, she doesn’t like me wearing binders and would rather me wear crop tops and booty shorts than be just a guy. She doesn’t ask me my preferred name, she doesn’t acknowledge me as a he/him, she calls me her daughter all the time, she refers to me as sissy because of my sister, and she tries gifting me girl things that I would obviously not wear or use. I don’t know how to break the ice that she’s overstepping my boundaries and disrespecting me without being disrespectful myself and I don’t even think I want to talk to her about it because she always ends up Mrs.right and you can’t get anything in her head.
