When I came out, my friends were super supportive, my family not so much. My mum slowly started to support me and is now ok with me starting hormones, but my Christian dad isn’t and refuses to use my name and pronouns. He also is very against me starting my medical transition. It’s a struggle every day, and I know he doesn’t mean me any harm but I wish he understood that I would feel a lot less suicidal if he just accepted me for me. (M/16)
