Vent: Turns out that my parents have been reading books on transgender issues from a"biblical" perspective and ignoring everything I've ever lent or sent their way. (lemmy.zip)

Fuck Evangelicalism. Fucking hate the way it destroyed my childhood and continues to poison my family.

I'm sick and tired of the way they continue to ignore my transition even two years in. I don't know if I can continue to be in contact with them anymore and it breaks my heart. I don't know if I can deal with another goddamn holiday season of Christian bullshit.

Fucking hate that my dad is a pastor. Took so much shit away from me because of a mass delusion.

Then don't. If they don't respect you they earn no respect back. And it sounds like you're independent of them, so not much they can hold over your head. Then you gotta tell them straight, "hey, since you won't respect my life I will not be at any holiday events this year, don't contact me."

I've heard at least one story in person of a trans person going NC and it sort of waking the parents up to "oh. We just lost our kid because we've been assholes. Fuck.". No guarantees but it could happen, because it can be quite a jolt even to evangelicals who still think they can" fix" their kid who's "in a phase".

Sending love and hugs sister (づ ᴗ _ᴗ)づ♡
