I absolutely despise when parents of trans children act like their old version of their child is âdeadâ. Do you not fucking understand what that does to them psychologically? I can barley look at my childhood photos Bcuz of that shit
My parents are completely supportive, even encouraging, but man I think about this daily, one time when I asked who the favorite child is as a joke, they said my dead name. I cry about that a lot, and I will forever blame myself for âher deathâ
I know I acted like a different person before I transitioned, I was 10, I went through a LOT that year, itâs fair to think of âherâ as a different person but please, donât actually treat âherâ like sheâs dead, itâs fucked me up permanently.
ESPECIALLY donât do this if your child is mentally ill/nerodivergent, this is mostly why it fucked me up so bad, you donât know what kind of conclusions theyâll come to because of that, also just donât be a dick? I feel like thatâs common sense
Geez the trauma Iâve suffered at the hands of cis ppl being careless with their words, Iâm pretty sure everyone I know currently has said/done something to inadvertently hurt me, I need trans friends lmao
Trust me itâs not me just being âsensitiveâ I have every right to be mad about every single one of the things theyâve said I promise
I hate cis people <33
I feel so guilty for being sad about this bcuz neither of my parents are bad ppl so how am I supposed to tell them this shit makes me s*icidal without breaking their heart?
The answer is this thread bcuz they both follow me lolz
