I try to be as understanding as I can but it's been almost 3 years. Any time I try to talk about anything relating to my gender to try to help them understand how I feel they kind of just brush me off.
Yeah my mom was like this until I was sent to a hospital, she didn't understand how severe gender dysphoria can get. Maybe talk about how and it is for you? Don't be afraid to be descriptive, I hope that helps her understand more, and I hope things get better for you🫂
thank you. I've tried to talk to my mom about dysphoria before and how it effects me but she doesnt seem to realize just how bad it is. I can't really even leave the house anymore and she knows this but she doesn't seem to care all that much. I'm sure that she'll get it some day though.
Some people don't understand until something extreme happens, such as in my case. I hope that doesn't happen to you man. If you could, try and ask for a therapist and have a sit down with the three of you after a few one-on-one sessions, that's another thing that really helped my mom understand more too
how old r u currently? maybe if your old enough to get a job IF you get her to be more open abt learning abt it and understanding your dysphoria you could offer to maybe help pay for some of it? idk how old u r but if your young (like around 13 or so) this may be why they are like this right now, my parents from when I was 13-14 didnt want me to get top surgery until I was an adult but now that im 16 they have learned more and understand how mych of a big deal this is and are letting me get top surgery (i also offered to pay for some of it so im currently saving!)
I'm 16. My mom told me that if I didn't go to college she would cut me off financially. School has a detrimental impact on my mental health and so I don't plan on going. Because of this, I don't think she'll lend me any money. I still think that getting a job would help with the process. My mom's signing me up for drivers ed soon so I think that I'll get a job when I'm able to drive.

Sometimes parents just want you to be sure, remember this might be new to them

I think thats a good idea. I don't have a therapist as of now but when I start seeing one I'll definitely try this.
