Normally I’m used to it but today it was piled on to me

What did they say/do?

Lot's of belittling, talking shit, and dehumanization. Take my grandma for example. She makes us seem like we're beasts that need to be tamed or put down. I'm used to her saying those awful things, but every now and then it gets to me because she would see me that way if she knew. It bothers me because I love her and I don't want her to ever view me in such a way

If she loves you and finds out, she won’t hate you just for that. I’m not telling you it’s safe to come out to her and don’t recommend it, but take this into mind. I don’t know her so I don’t know what type of person she is, but don’t let this ruin your view of her as a person (it doesn’t seem like you’re doing this)

I still know that she's a sweet and caring person despite what I just described. And I'll be struck by lightning before I come out to her

Well, either she’ll love you when you come out someday, or your paths will split. If she truly loves you, you will be supported.

I'll be struck by lightning before I come out to her

I can't say I know what you're going through, but just know that we're all here for you.

I have nightmares about my dad being transphobic and I haven't had such bad nightmares for 6 years!! My mum keeps telling me to face him and talk to him about it, but I don't wanna lose his respect.
