I just came out as AroAce to my Mother and ugh it was pretty shit. She basically said that "spciety is made for people to be couples" and "Your feelings haven't fully developed yet" and stuff and I was just sorta struck because that was the easy part for me to open up to her about. I've been thinking about opening up to her about being trans so I could maybe start getting medical help for it but now that she's said that I just want to keep safe and not be prejudiced against or anything, especially since she's laughed in my face many times about me wearing nail polish or wanting what she calls 'girly' things. Sorry for the rant but it just kills me inside a bit and the figures about trans people and stuff worry me so much and I wish people would actually accept and love me for being me, not for my masks. Thanks for reading. 🧡💛🤍🩵💙
