[Insanity-at-its-Cutest]

Are your parents supportive of your sexuality???

my mom is, but i havent told my dad or my stepdad... so, yea...  

[cyberkitty4U]

Both my parents are very supportive, but I think my dad is a little disappointed.  

[Ayame_M]

my mother died when i was in the questioning stage so i never told her but i don't think she wuld have been supportive but i know for a fact my father isnt. eek (though my dad doesn't know nor do i plan on telling him while i live with him sweatdrop )

but my school parents(senior friends) are both lesbians and the are supporive of my decision 3nodding heart 3nodding  

[Figuren]

My mom is.
I think my father would try to beat me for it, but I don't ever have to see him, so it's all good.

My Mom is my father and I quit speaking years ago b4 I ever started to transition but he would prolly try to beat it out of me just like he tried to scrub off my tattoo when I was 18  

[unchained-aura]

mam is supportive of transition dad hospitalised and disowned, how about that for a contrast?  

[CurrentDisaster]

Since I came out almost seven years ago, alot has changed between my parents and I. We've been through quite a bit of things.
Things did get really ugly for a while...but...I'm not sure, maybe I'm one of the lucky ones...I have a strong family.


They are still not in agreement with how I live. They don't like it and would rather I not live so shamefully. Its not "god's way"

But...
My parents do make it a point to tell me they love me no matter what.

One of the more recent phone conversations I had with my mother she, to the best she could, finally accepted my girlfriend with whom I've been with for the past three years.

though they pray for me everyday. Can't say I'm not thankful for prayers of course... just, "pray away the gay" isn't going to work.

Both my parents are extremely supportive now and even going out of their way to get me into a comfortable environment, but I still feel sometimes my mother is slightly uncomfortable with it. But things have come such a long way.. It's really great

Thats prolly what would happen if I told my father as well if we still talked since I used to get beat for doing girly things when I was a kid  

[KitzumiKita]

I never really got a chance to talk with my mom, and she gave me a number of opportunities. I did talk to my dad but it was years later when I was finally brave enough to say something. I didn't really understand and wound up putting me in a rather awkward position because I hadn't been clear enough. Both my parents are past away now so all I can really say is I wish I could have transitioned sooner.  

[Night Scream]

Well in my case.. My mom is supportive and agrees with me and my feelings to be a girl.
But my father.. well he's still in denial and when even the slightes of theme comes near my transitioning.. he gets quite mad and curses , before leaving the room.

So its normal from what i have heard i think....  

[WilowFox]

My parents went from supportive to denial, my mom thinks it's a way for me to feel special and I'm pretty sure my younger brother hates me. For my mom it doesn't matter that I have plenty of other things to feel special about, I have unique skills & seem to have a thing for organizing & preaching -can you say major attention. When I'm at my parents my mom puts serious pressure on me to keep it under wraps so she can avoid questions from her coworkers -law enforcement- ninja . Worst part is I was going to come out to my grandparents and was told not to because it would wreck the family, be all over the family by next year, and she would be the one dealing with all of it. I caved & didn't, which was a major letdown & a step back in the closet crying . To add insult to injury all I ever hear about any more is my flaws, never anything about what I managed or what I'm good at crying . I actually just got back to my apartment last week & it took me until a meeting today to start feeling my normal happy self. I've reached the conclusion that I as my natural Trans self am no longer welcome at my parents home ninja , I basically can't go home any more without feeling seriously lousy. Sorry for the rant but I needed it, that realization was a depressing shock eek crying . Early on I was just going to leave, but something happened and I thought I would stick with them, now I'll call & send cards but it will be a few years before I go back at all -thank you seminary for excuses on the holidays, doing services here or there have this or that going & have to be in town, always solid justifications for not going back.

my mother called me a demon child but makes sure not to invite me to church anymore... it was hard but my girlfriend was there and my boyfriend still loves me for myself <3  

[ustan-sama]

Well, my dad's out of my life...but I have no idea if he would be supportive.

I haven't told my mom yet, and I don't think I ever will. She often voices her disgust of it to both me and my brother, so there's no way I could ever tell her. That's probably why we don't get along so well.

My brother, on the other hand, supports me all the way. While he wouldn't swing the other way, he's very open minded about people. We probably wouldn't be so close today if he'd rejected it. With his acceptance, I think I've been able to stay sane because of it.
