but you don't have the life experience or education of a 14 year old girl, this experience may be new to you but you have context and a grown up brain
just be you , big hugs ,
your mum will come around, she's had fewer hours of contact time with you than you've had, you have 24/24, she has maybe a few hours a week
This is true, but I have almost no experience in dealing with female emotions, a noticeable cycle and the daily stresses of being misgendered, laughed at. I'm starting to hate the straight world. So many people say they're allies, but they really don't get it. Pronouns are a good start but most people ultimately won't try too hard. Which is fair enough, everyone has their own shit going on. Lots of gays and cis queers don't get it either and a lot of trans people gatekeep it and pick at others, generally projecting their own insecurities or expressing their envy toward the fact I've never shied away from indulging my femininity and they became toxic males to mask their own internalised transphobia.
My baseline happiness is a lot better than a year ago and I am making a lot of good choices now, due to yes, life experience and because I finally feel like I own my body.
Super big hugs. It's never nice to be one of the hated. 🤗
I don't feel hated. I feel deserted.
