Denial or not?

    Hello everyone, it's me again. Not sure I'd consider this a rant or just talking. I recently bought some weights for lifting which I've been planning to do for a while. Thing is, my dad went with me and bought them for me. He also seemed more than happy to get them. I can't tell if he realises why I got them, but at the same time with all the steps I've taken (getting a haircut, getting weights, etc.) I would think it'd be obvious, but at the same time I'm not sure he fully believes I'm transgender (or bigender) yet. I said this before, but the one time I brought the subject up to him, he wouldn't answer me as far as if he'd disown me if I was this way or not. I think it should also be said that when I got my hair cut, I told my dad I saw myself being single my whole life... I'm not sure if he realises gender and sexuality are different meaning even if I am going to stay single, I'm still going to try to look like my male self. Not sure exactly why I'm saying all this, but I guess I just had to vent and maybe it's about time I tried to tell my dad again.

  • Kris McKinley Brianna, I wouldn't be surprised at all if it does come to the "we won't ask, but don't talk about it with us" especially with my dad because he just never seems to wanna hear about it. Donna, I certainly am happy if he's trying to understand,...  more
