Sad/Dysphoric wanna 💀
I recently came out as transgender (MTF, 21) to my family. The response was mixed—my sisters, cousins, and my dad were accepting (my dad, kind of), but my stepmom doesn’t know yet. It’s strange because I’ve had visible breast growth, so I’m not sure how she hasn’t noticed. Even though I’ve come out, everyone still refers to me by my dead name and uses he/him pronouns. This is really triggering my dysphoria and making me feel resentment. Today was my grandpa’s funeral, and I had to see many family members who had no idea I’d transitioned. It was humbling, to say the least. I presented myself femininely—hair and nails done, wearing my purse and feminine clothes—but they still couldn’t call me by my new name. I don’t understand why it’s so hard for them to respect that. It’s making me feel incredibly uncomfortable and not want to be around anyone. Anyone else going through this dynamic? Ughhh it suckss
