please help, I don't have any friends to talk abt this to so this was the best place I could think of | HELP NOW PLEASE; i came out to my other parent (like the idiot I am) and they're one of the people who think bi, pan and omni are all the same thing and are basically telling me my sexuality (omni) is fake. how do i explain what they're saying is stupid without sounding really mean? I don't think they're homophobic because they're a trans queer woman; (im visiting them on friday, so this is probably onna be awkward, and yes I do feel sorta pathetic needing to bring my struggle to imgflip just before some smart a** tells me in the comments) | image tagged in memes,blank transparent square,lgbtq,parents,help,pride | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

Okay just to provide more info, here are some things you should know

-they still love me, I'm not being abused or something
-they have a lot of strong opinions and get p**sed off easy, which is why I need advice on sounding nice about it
-they think I shouldn't be "labeling" myself, and think everybody should just go by queer
-they're sorta old, so things obviously are different for them

You should tell them the difference

When I came out to my parents, my mother laughed in my face and my father made me swear not to be trans. Still the hardest thing I've ever done.

That must have been disenchanting

Counselor Deanna Troi | If you can direct them to a reference which explains it, where they read it for themselves, they can see it without being confrontational. | image tagged in counselor deanna troi | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

Just tell em
- Bisexual means attracted to 2 genders
- Pansexual means not caring about gender at all!
- Omnisexual means liking all genders but with a preference

I feel like you should really just try your best to explain the difference to them make it as clear as possible, and maybe tell them you don't appreciate them not thinking its not real. I hope it turns out alright good luck.

I would suggest maybe writing the difference down and showing it to them. If they still don’t understand, just try your hardest to explain that it this is who you are, and you are queer, but a specific kind. Tell them that you want to be labeled , and you’ve picked a label out already.
