When I came out to my dad last night, he basically told me it was a phase and that I didn’t know what I was talking about. This morning he said, “Sometimes gay women forget that they’re female, and they wear men’s clothing and cut their hair short. Gay men sometimes are too gay and they are hard to be around. Don’t forget that you’re a girl. ” and I am a feminist, and I nodded and said I understood like the feminine person he thought I was. I was on my period. When I got to school I started to cry. I hated myself for lying to everyone. I hated my dad. But now I’m trying to move past him. Today I plan to become open and show him that his pansexual daughter doesn’t care about how he sees me.
