Vent! Today I had a talk with my mother. She started by saying "in your heart, do you believe you are autistic?" I said yes and she went off on a tangent on how "oh you don't fit in with our world's idea of femininity so you think that you are a guy." She started asking me stuff like "what are you trying to get out of this trans thing" and "are you sure you're not nonbinary" and I know deep in my heart I am a boy. I've known for a while. I was thinking about all of these questions a lot before I came out. She then went off about how "pronouns aren't protection" because there was someone who harassed me throughout elementary school because I looked like a girl. So she thinks I'm doing this for protection, but if I was I would just learn self defense. There's also her eternal "ooh autism black and white you're not girl so you think you're boy!" Then she went off AGAIN about how I should just "be myself" and enjoy the little things in life. Like yeah I know I am TRYING to do that but you are making things worse by calling me my deadname and stuff cause it gets in my head and it's hard to focus and it just sucks. It all sucks.
vent TWO LETS GO Here's the short version: - I'm being forced to legally change my last name - My dad can't pay child support - Literally everything in the first one - Possible autism my mom thinks is why I'm trans
