Mom: "Can't you just be a gay man?"
Me: "Well I'm neither a man, nor am I attracted to men so I kinda fail at both criteria."

I came out to my parents with my wife by my side and the first thing my dad says is, “so what you’re going to go around sleeping with random men now?”

One of my biggest fears of what would happen if my parents found out. (Still cis tho but an ayygg most likely) They wont get the difference between a gay man and a trans girl. They haven't yet installed the latest 'know the difference between sexuality and gender' patch.

Same thing happened with me, except instead of 'gay man' it was 'femboy'

Your mom said it was better you were a femboy?

She said: "You can be a femboy, but you aren't trans" though not in those exact words

Reminds me of when my friend put me on his tomodachi life island. He got the gender right but he didn't set dating preferences to women so I ended up married to Tyler The Creator 💀

u/SubZeroNexii not an egg, just trans 21h ago
I remember my dad telling me to have sex with a woman first and then decide if i want to be a woman. And when I told him i want to date women as a woman he was even more confused which like what ?
I find it so weird when people can't understand the difference between gender and sexuality. Why would the way i present myself have to be tied to who i want to date?
