UGHH my head
Mar. 19th, 2011 10:31 pmSo I just had a very long Talk with my parents about me being trans, what that means etc. (I'd come out to them before but not really...had a real talk with them about it).
As per usual, mom pretended to be very supportive but basically said she expects me to change my mind because I was 'confused' about my sexuality, too (I'm not sure where she got that from, since I came out to her as bisexual; she seems to remember it as me waffling back and forth between whether or not I was gay...which might be how she understands being bisexual, now that I think about it).
Dad, on the other hand, was very supportive. Not much else to say about that; he was quiet, since mom did most of the talking (basically just inane regurgitation of things she half-knows...she derailed for like ten minutes at one point to talk about how some women who miscarry have to change doctors due to memories...this sort of anecdote and 'you know they say' that are vaguely related to the subject at hand is pretty much her main mode of conversation, I don't think I've ever heard her express an original opinion in her life).
Unfortunately, mom is very insistent that I go to the local general therapist rather than straight to a specialist in Boston, because she thinks I need to be more 'mentally healthy' before I 'make a decision like this'. I am honestly not sure what she's referring to - with her, she might have made up any number of things, so whatever. If I need to get a general therapist on my side first, so be it.
In other, unrelated news, there seems to have been some sort of mix-up with my rooming deposit, which I was never notified about, and basically despite having deposited it they did NOT mark it as received on my student account and now they won't let me sign up for my room for next year and by the time we get this sorted out ALL THE SINGLE ROOMS WILL BE GONE ugh.
P.S. I spent quite a bit of time last night coming up with custom Aramii concepts based on Pokemon. Omfg.
