really bad day

My dad accused me of faking being trans, and that since I wear more feminine clothes sometimes, “you don’t feel like a boy all the time, right?” I really feel like overdosing again. I just want to leave here as soon as I can. I feel like I’ll have to move away and completely cut my parents out of my life to be actually free, and to be able to what I think is best instead of what they want for me. I wanna go home, but my house doesn’t feel like my home, and I have no idea where home is. I wanna go home.

Hey, I'm sorry you're having a rough time with family. Please don't overdose, you have a whole life ahead of you, at some point you will be away from your parents and you can live the life of your own desire. One of my favorite quotes is from the book Dinotopia: Windchaser. "Home is within all of us." Home is in your heart, within you. You have a little light in you that wants to keep burning, you just need to keep it going, keep it safe, until you have your opportunity to flourish.

One of the things you could do is try and recall how many times your dad HAS NOT accused you of being fake trans. ie when he has had normal conversation with you that affirmed your desired identity. Plus Minus matters because the negative always overshadows the positives.

      It's an inherently transphobic utterance, coming from either willful or unconscious bias. Based on this thread and others I've seen you post, it's time to stop all payments and off their schedule. That person is not worth your time, never mind your money.

      Woo hoooooooo ... POP ....  thank you

      Everything needs to be gendered, no? Trimmers. Shampoo. Warehouses.

      Have you seen those ads for the "man-scape" or the "lawn-mower" or whatever? It think it's funny that masculinity is fragile enough that it needs "manly" names for hygiene products for men to use them.

      Calling a trans person "not a biological woman" is practically the same as calling a trans woman "not a real woman."   Thanks for the video @AllieJ.

      They sure are. I have yet to meet one after working with some.

      Let me add to my disgust. Any Christmas music that is played before Thanksgiving.

      You're looking pretty good to me.  Nice smile.

      I and I do mean IF I replace any locks it will be with something I can open without a key or with a key. I want something I can open with my phone or iPad should I not be home but have to let someone in or let myself in if I don’t have my keys. I do worry about that happening.    since you haven’t seen me in quite some time:

      I did talk to my nurse at the VA and unfortunately, they aren't able to get me in any sooner, but they said to try the walk-in clinic.

      I would echo Kays comments, I know a Non Binary therapist, but I would not recommend them to anyone as all they can offer is relaxation techniques. Trans and Non Binary people need to understand who they are and find strategies to accept and cope with this, but most psychologists focus on avoidance and distraction. While mindfulness is nice, it doesn't stop the self questioning and feelings of being less than others, or develop strategies to enhance our lives. Therapist that can help with these are rare and invaluable.   Hugs,   Allie

      Used by people who simply do not understand the terms! Seriously, watch this video!        Hugs,   Allie

      Dang, @Ashley0616.   Sorry this happened.  I've had times when I had to question my handiperson skills myself.   I hope you can get things straightened out.  Don't give up, like they say stuff happens.  Sometimes when it rains, it pours.
