    Tell your mom that God made you trans, and God doesn’t make mistakes. He also has a lot to say about how we should love each other. You can’t change being trans, but you will pray about it and deal with it in the best way available, by transitioning.

    Tell your dad that the science is not super clear, but whatever he is reading decided their conclusion first and then looked for data to back up their predudices.

    Tell them both that you want to have a good relationship with them, but if they keep sparking arguments trying to convince you they know more about your brain, body, and soul then you do, you will have to limit the time your spend with them for your own well being.

    My mom cried when I came out to her. We didn’t talk about it for years. I told her when I started hormones, and while we had some rocky days, she always maintained that she loves me and wants me to be happy. We are closer than ever, and she introduces me as her daughter now.

    I hope your parents come along to love and affirmation eventually.

      I appreciate your response. Thank you :-) hugs

      I’m not sure I can be so blunt about it… but yeah I’ll take that into consideration to help me. Thank you.
