I know I’ve already told this story a couple of times but just recently I came to terms with it (and maybe there are people who haven’t read it yet and take energy out of it). When I came out, my mom told me she accepts it but doesn’t really believe it and it kinda broke my heart at that time. I kinda hoped and expected her to tell me “Ah finally you’re coming out, I’ve known it for a long time.”, but it wasn’t like that, it wasn’t like how a coming out gets often portrayed in movies. After four years I finally understand why she didn’t say those words to me. The main reason for it is that she just didn’t fully know me.The “manly things” I did, like playing with cars, shooting with an airgun and talking about mma I always did with my dad and cuz my moms and mine relationship wasn’t/isn’t that close I didn’t tell her those things. So when I came out she was shocked because she was unknown of my “manly” traits and she didn’t think that with my only female traits I was manly enough to be a boy. I still would say that it wasn’t helpful for me to hear those words from my mom but I can understand them better know. And maybe I would have reacted the same way if I were her age and had her knowledge of lgbtqia+ stuff.Short disclaimer: manly and girly things/hobbies are complete bullshit. Boys and girls can play with the same toys and still be their gender and have whatever sexuality. But for the older generation who still strongly believes in this subdivision it’s really helpful to understand their childs trans*sexuality if their child plays with toys, which are supposed to be for the opposite gender (Doesn’t mean that their thinking is wrong). -- source link
