im afraid this will happen when i finally come out to my dad. i already know he was a shitty father and a conservative piece of shit, but part of me doesn’t want to find out hes a transphobe too. im pretty sure he is with how much he watches fox news… part of me wants to skip the whole thing and just ghost my parents so i dont have to deal with them trying to hurt me again. i dont think i will but im still figuring it out.
The only advice I can give you: Make peace with the idea you might lose him now. Assume he’s going to reject you, and be ready to mourn his loss if that’s the outcome.
I made peace with the fact that I’d lose them long before I came out to them. I hold out hope that maybe they’ll both come around, but ultimately… Being myself, authentically, is worth it.
I’m finally comfortable in my skin, happy with who I am, and I’m not about to let him or anyone else make me feel bad about that.
