cw transphobia
just learned that my dad told my (closeted genderfluid) younger sister that they canā€™t use my pronouns bc ā€œhe doesnā€™t care what we do later in life, but he has two daughtersā€ (after they used them in convo and he was all like ā€œwho are you talking about ?ā€). apparently he got all annoyed/angry about it too.
this fucking sucks. esp bc my younger sister literally was only using they/them, not even he or ey. i specially only use they/them for my parents bc i thought it would be easier for them to digest. i thouvht he was fine?? i had come out to my mom and asked her to tell him for me,, she said she did and he was just like ā€œokayā€ and didnā€™t really care! which fine for me. i had assumed they saw me as ā€œtheir daughter who identified as non-binaryā€ but were supportive and just thouvht that bc of the generation gap and they didnā€™t understand. not that my dad was explicitly unsupportive.
obviously iā€™m still really privileged because iā€™m safe and my mom literally doesnā€™t seem to care and even tho she doesnā€™t use my pronouns im like 99% sure itā€™s purely bc shes bad with that stuff and not thinking about it (and i donā€™t correct her). tho i do think she thinks itā€™s a phase (she makes comments that lead me to belive this) but honestly i donā€™t even fucking care about that. she doesnā€™t make it my problem and just said that whatever i do as long as iā€™m safe, she doesnā€™t care and is supportive of. but i didnā€™t expect that from my dad at all. itā€™s really hurtful. i feel like shit. and iā€™m nervous that when i get my binder and start wearing it heā€™ll say something directly to me. my mom knows i bought it and thinks itā€™s just a sports bra and i ā€œfell for the marketingā€ but she said she doesnā€™t care. once again, whatever, not my problem, as long as she doesnā€™t prevent me from transitioning, iā€™m fine. but i just donā€™t know if my dad will say something now.
i donā€™t know. my parents are a lot better than most. and iā€™m safe. but my mom never uses my pronouns and iā€™m 85% sure thinks itā€™s a phase and iā€™m 100% sure my dad does not support it and wonā€™t let people use my pronouns around him. iā€™m just glad pronouns arenā€™t my main (or big) cause of upset or dysphoria for me. still hurts that he doesnā€™t support me.
at least my younger sister knows not to come out, they had been thinking about doing it somewhat soon. and at least i know they can kinda get it and i know theyā€™re totally supportive of me.
sorry for the whole long venty post. i just want to put it somewhere where people who can understand might see it. iā€™m just kinda hurt rn. iā€™m just tired, iā€™m gonna go to bed :( hopefully my binder finally fuckimg SHIPS tomorrow i ordered it like a week agošŸ˜­ thatā€™s the good news i need to hear rn
