>i-i'm a boy, haha
How the fuck do I come out to my dad's side of the family?
My mom was easy, she's been supportive of transition albeit a little clueless (Still calls me 'handsome', ect.) But my dad's side is all upper-middle class southern folk. I have no idea how my dad would handle it - He took me dating a guy pretty well, but I feel like coming out to him about being trans is kind of on another level.
And then there's uncles and aunts. Cousins. Grandparents. How would I even broach that subject? Just pull OP's situation and show up to thanksgiving dinner looking like a girl?
Should I just go boymode to every family gathering and deal with the comments about how feminine I look? How do explain having pierced ears, and miraculous loss of MPB signs?

Just be yourself bro

When I came out I explained it away as 'I was diagnosed with a condition called gender dysphoria for which the only treatment is transitioning.'
People tend to be a bit more receptive to the gender dysphoria explanation because it's a 'oh you poor thing' instead of instantly criticizing your """"""choice""""" to transition.
The worst I got was a 'WHO DIAGNOSED YOU WHATS THEIR NAME" and I just said 'a general practitioner, 2 psychiatrists, and an endocrinologist' which shut them up quite well. Doesn't have to be true desu.

I relate lol. There was recently a bbq at my house and a lot of family was over and they love to all talk about how I stay up in my room being "anti-social" but then I come out and I can tell people are STILL perplexed by the way I look. Mind you this is me with no makeup and in somewhat masculine clothes. At one point I was stuck with my drunk aunt who kept prying at me saying "youre so beautiful ohh my best nep- hm-eh- youre beautiful, okay? what do you really wanna be called huh? cmon"

MENTAL ILLNESS CONFIRMED
>>8765977
I don't know of any actual trannies who don't understand that's pretty objectively a mental disorder.
It's not really a bad thing. Just something you deal with, usually by transitioning or repressing.
>>8765977
well, yeah, that's fairly obvious, but it doesn't mean being trans is *wrong*
the fact that people use mental illness as an insult against being trans shows nobody understands trans OR mental illness

honestly this is my plan last time i stayed at my dads over holidays they got drunk enough for me to start being myself and they didn't seem to mind even tho i still get 'he' and my birth name from them but i mean i haven't made it explicit to them yet so. also my stepbrother came out as gay recently to them and so i guess they dont mind much
>>8765686
>Since when is my family White?
>Since when do I live in a beach town?
>Who are you people?
Anyway, I don't really get those comments. All I get is how I would look better if I cut my hair, how I look young, that I look a lot like my mother (my mom pulled out an old driver's license recently and even then there is a big resemblance), but I definitely don't get anything about how feminine I look. I don't ever expect to get comments of that type.

LMAO, you have a really nice aunt, senpai.
>>8766478
She's cute, I mean she's an alcoholic, but nice to me at least. Regardless, I just hate attention and it sucks being that type of person when youre a stupid transgender because everyone becomes so curious and/or critical about your looks and I dont like iiiitttt

They are pathologically incapable of admitting it. Not ever worth saying it.
>>8766689
>They are incapable of admitting it
>Trans in this VERY THREAD FOUR POSTS UP admitted it outright
Do you just try to come across as a faggot or is it something that happens naturally
>>8766705
Straights memeing the double dog shit dank with super cool stories hardly counts for anything.

>I decided to become a girl. Don't you see my facebook updates? It rules and now I can wear a dress and have a boyfriend and I'm not gay like you said to dad, Uncle Fred!
