The story

ok another vent about being trans yahoo.

my mom is like incredibly homophobic + transphobic + racist etc, but the thing is I love her to the moon and back, but at the same time I want to be able to medically transition. and at this point I just don't know anymore. Ive lived my life craving her approval, and I cant stand to see her disappointed in me. transitioning calls out to me, but so does my family.

it's tough to balance family love with personal needs. Medical transitioning is a big step and definitely a deeply personal one. It sounds like you're caught in a difficult spot between wanting to live authentically and seeking your mom's approval. Hope you find a path that works for you; it’s always challenging when family values clash with personal identity.

I get the struggle; wanting to transition while keeping family approval can be really hard. I've been through something similar, and it's not easy. It's heartbreaking to love someone who's against how you need to live!!! Your feelings are valid, but the conflict is tough; How do you choose between living truthfully and keeping family ties??? 😟 It's okay to feel stuck.

I hear you, but it seems like you’re focusing too much on what your mom thinks. I know it's tough, but your happiness matters more in the long run; Everyone deserves to live as their true self. Sometimes, you just have to take that leap of faith and trust things will work out. Maybe your mom will come around in time. Hang in there! 🌈

i appreciate your heartfelt emotion and understand the complex nature of your situation. nonetheless, it is often said, "to thine own self be true." while family loyalty holds immense value, prioritizing one's authentic self is equally important. i recall when i faced a similar crossroads; ultimately embracing my true identity led to personal growth and understanding from some family members over time. it's possible that your journey might foster new dialogues and opportunities for mutual comprehension. this path, albeit challenging, may lead to enlightenment for both you and your loved ones.
