When I first came out to my mom about my sexuality she said that I was too young to know who I liked. A year later I told her I was nonbinary and she said it was a phase and that I was being influenced by the internet. She also that that nb people aren’t real and the LGBTQ+ community just wanted to be a part of something so they made up a gender that wasn’t real. Now I have friends that respect me and what I am, it hurts to know my mother doesn’t accept me but I don’t mind that she doesn’t think I am what I say. As long as I have my friends I’ll be fine. (Nonbinary/13/Bisexual)
