I feel awful. My dad and I got into a screaming match over my dad's casual transphobia on my mom's birthday 😔 She didn't deserve that... And I don't deserve my dad saying, "Well, now you're hurting MY feelings" every time I try to explain to him why something he said/did is hurtful towards trans people.

#hearing him laugh at a transgender/gender non conforming character for simply existing sucks #especially from my perspective as his nonbinary child who came out to him 7 years ago #like... is that how he sees me and my friends?#my mom and i had a good conversation about it afterwards but like #my dad's just clocked out. won't hear any of it #i've already psychoanalyzed some formative memories of mine connected to his casual transphobia #rude jokes he made about a woman with unshaven armpits out in public and how that affected my self image and sense of worth #i still haven't worn a tank top or shorts out in public since i stopped shaving almost a decade ago #i bet my dad wouldn't even remember those comments he made #something something the axe forgets but the tree remembers #i just want my dad to educate himself at this point. to do some of the work so i don't have to #there's already so much for me to stress over. why bother with this issue that should've been resolved ages ago?#bunny babbles
