    more of a therapist being a fucker, transphobia prolly

    Exactly! He also said some people might like, pretend to be trans/get convinced they are trans to fit in with a group (lgbt people). And like, wtf? And if my parents bring that up I should agree that some people do that but that isn’t me?? Apparently he thinks making them feel understood by agreeing and being “in the middle of extremes” will make it go better.

      spoiler

      I worried my parents might think I’m just doing it to be trendy or something because I happened to start questioning around the time my brother started seeing a trans person. Except… I didn’t know that at the very early stages of question.

      Because my parents are lesbians, sometimes the gatherings at my parent’s place often turn into primarily queer gatherings (but usually only representation for the L). Although I’d be the first in our family to come out specifically as trans AFAIK. My parents have been cool role models for the lesbians in their families, so I guess trying to be the same on the genderqueer side of the rainbow could be a motivation to come out.

      Part of the reason I worry my mom might think its just a trend is I could see her falling into the “if trans people are right, then everyone would be trans” because of projecting her own affinity for presenting as and being seen as a guy. OTOH, I think her own rejection of femininity makes it less likely that and more likely “how could someone want that?”

      Fuckin centrists (can’t find a video that is good enough, but whatever).

      Personally I initially explored gender because I knew a lot of trans people, but I found that I never really identified with being a boy and could find gender non-conforming thoughts in my history. I also found it very easy to philosophically/intellectually justify gender abolition, I just wasn’t sure how best to go about it.
