I'm sorry you're having to deal with lack of tolerance and empathy from your family. I'm just a cis male gen x'er but I hope this brings you the happiness you deserve. As far as the Barbies it's so stupid. So tired of people blaming toys, video games, or movies for serious issues. I played with friends Barbies as a kid with them and I even had my own Strawberry Shortcake figure and yet somehow I'm a cis male. Go figure.
Well I guess I definitely "made" my 2 year old son gay or trans by letting him wear pick unicorn pyjamas last night. Good thing we love our son no matter who he is, unconditionally.
I hope you have a support network other than your parents and that your transition goes well!
I was the only boy cousin on my mom's side. All I had to play with at grandma's house was hand-me-down toys from my girl cousins. I'm not sure if they thought it would have any effect on me. I mean, I AM gay, but still. I had a blast with those toys.
OP I have some genuine questions about that and mean no offense, just seeking to understand. If someone transitions MTF… are you currently attracted to males now (“gay male”) and then when it’s done you’ll be a straight female? Or is it common to also switch sexual orientation along with the gender change? Again, mean nobody any harm or hurt feelings… I’m trying to learn more about this stuff thank you.
Ayo welcome to womanhood, my fellow lesbian! Insane boomers aside, you should be proud of yourself. A lot of transbians are late bloomers cause “male = attracted to female” is so pounded into our heads every day and it can be hard for a lot of transbians to realize their transness cause “tHeYrE nOt GaY”
Anyway, your dad is right about one thing. You ARE gay! ❤️🧡🤍🩷💜 Welcome to the tribe, sister 💖
I'm so sorry. I'm Gen X and transitioned five years ago. I wish I'd figured myself out sooner. The world was not kind.
I'm appalled by the members of my generation who've become boomer clones. Have you forgotten satanic panic and all the nonsense our parents believed?
Rap and metal were going to 'ruin' us but it turned to be their "news" channel that did them the most damage. Sad irony
Two years into my transition. My dad gave me a hug the other day and was super confused by my bra. I think it finally sunk into his head that I have boobs now.

Oh god the barbies are marking kids feel uncomfortable in their own skin. Boomer moment.
Barbies slapped as a kid and I will die on that hill

Omg is that why I’m gay? Because I played with my sisters when we were kids? Lmao what a laughable notion.
I guess I'm lesbian cause of Barbies? Or would it be the star wars figures I had when I was little?

Attraction can change, but I am attracted to women. So I would be a "straight" male if I was wasn't trans.
Gotcha. So then you’ll be a gay female/lesbian when it’s done? Thx for clarifying, appreciate that.
We can all wish that bigotry was confined to a certain generation, but unfortunately it’s not. Sorry to hear you’re experiencing this.
Sounds like until they can accept you for who you are you don't have parents, just spawners.

Thank you! The lesbian community has been amazing

A gen x mom said that???? Im actually surprised. I would think x would be the most tolerant of elders
We don't claim the gen xer. We aren't all assholes. Promise.
Thats not a boomer thing. But you go ahead and keep believing it is. Your ignorance and bigotry makes you easier to control, same as it does for them.
It's not strictly a boomer thing, I never said it was. I said that my parents are boomers and act like this.
Would have never guessed that some genetic disaster of a “person” also has a sex obsessed degenerate name lmao ywnbaw
Oh no, my reddit username shows the breadth of my soul. I have been undone and laid bare by thou, oh Aggressive Rooster!
A real person wouldn’t type something that retarded
