Again, thanks to all those who have supported me <3 Though things went both bad and good, I think I'm okay for now <3

It’s a step in the right direction!

Yeah, thank goodness- It may be a small step, but it's far better than none at all.

Well, hopefully they’ll accept you!

Mhmm! (*^▽^*)

Well, I don't know what to say. On one hand, it kinda seems like your grandma accepts you, but on the other, I don't have a good feeling about how you two will interact in the future. All I can do is wish you luck, no matter what happens

Actually, that's exactly how I'm thinking about this whole situation. I mean, it's all very confusing as is, and with how my grandparents grew up and all, I just don't know if they'll ever be able to fully change their views and beliefs :\

Well, as long as they're not hateful towards you, I don't think you should really try to change their mind

They're not hateful towards me as of now, and I don't think they'll ever really be, so I'll take your advice and just let them take it all in and process it at their own paces（*＾-＾*）

:)

Pspspspspt.
Do you understand what gender is?
CONGRATS! YOU ARE OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW!!

Well, to be fair, my grandparents are (obviously) very old (either around or in their seventies). Hence, they grew up in the times where such things were like, "Nooooo! Gay bad! Straight good! Trans bad! Cis good!" Because of that, it makes it rather difficult for them to accept this, though I can tell my grandma is genuinely trying, even though she keeps contradicting herself 😔 I really do appreciate her trying, however, and I hope she can come to fully understand me, one day.

*sigh*

I know, I know. But, hey, as everybody has been saying: It's a step in the right direction. And I fully agree, albeit that said step is a small step. I mean, at least a step was even taken, and a step in the *right* direction, instead of the *wrong* direction.

There's a big sign above your grandpa's head that says "not getting it"... I'm sorry that this is so difficult for you. Especially the "it's just a phase" and the "you're too young to know" are heart breaking and unfortunately people don't even understand what's wrong with that. 😕

Like, at what age am I old enough to know I'm uncomfortable in my body? I mean, attraction can change over time and if you haven't had any relationships to figure out what you like it's difficult to know 100%. But you've been in this body for your whole life - I think you've had enough time to figure out it doesn't fit by now.

I don't even know if I should say anything at all about the assumption that gay means butt stuff...

Well, it was a big step and you're very brave for having taken it! Like you said, this is just the beginning and it will be pretty difficult and there will be more tears. But you can do it! I know it! Stay strong! ❤

Unfortunately, there really is such a sign over his head 😔 In all honesty, he's probably going to be one of the more difficult family members to get to, as he's never been all too fond over the LGBTQ+ Community (I've seen his reactions to them on TV and, to say the least, his reactions were always of pure disgust). As for what my grandma told me, I agree. It really was heart-breaking to hear those things, especially after she kept telling me that she loved and accepted me. I mean, you simply can't *truly* accept somebody if you keep going against your own word. After all, I'm simply not gonna magically change back into a female once I become an adult. It just doesn't work that way, as I *know* who I really am, and am happy with who I am. And just like you said, "at what age am I old enough to know I'm uncomfortable in my body?" I'd say at any age. Besides, our bodies are something we simply can't escape from (fortunately, we *can* change them), and so knowing when you're uncomfortable in your own is quite easy to discover.
As for the attraction thing, I get that. I mean, I tried out being bisexual before, but it just never worked out. I've always struggled to get along with females, as I've been basically traumatized by them as a child, which can make it rather difficult to form deep and meaningful bonds with them. Hence, I simply find myself being attracted to males, and I don't see anything wrong with that whatsoever :\ Additionally, I simply fail to see how my grandma linked gay to such stuff almost instantly. Like, who even starts a conversation like that??? 🤦‍♂️ However, I did manage to talk to her about the gay thing, too, and I think I was able to make her more accepting of that as well? I mean, I just told her, "I don't see anything wrong with it, as just knowing somebody with a sexuality other than straight can, y'know... spice life up a little. After all, it's nice to learn from other people's points of views and whatnot. Makes it easier to understand other people." I think that might have gotten through to her, as she was like, "You got me there-"
Nonetheless, thank you for all the support you have provided to me (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ) You've definitely been a huge, if not the biggest, help along my journey. Though it's been difficult, I'm really hoping that coming out to my grandparents was the right thing to do, just so that I can maybe have better mental health and a more comfortable life in my own home and family, you know?
Thanks, friend <3

Wait how did she get you want a man inside you from asexual?

Well, she doesn't know I'm asexual and, quite frankly, I don't plan on telling her. Seeing how she reacted to everything else, I know she'd, most likely, be like "Huh??? How can you say that you're asexual if you've never had sex???" if I *did* tell her. And, in short, that'd be a very uncomfortable conversation for me to have with her.

Understandable. Sex is pretty overrated. It’s not always what people think it is. I speak from experience.

Same here, bud, same here 😔

Before I say anything, was it consensual?

Not really; was forced into giving it.

Oh. I’m sorry I just asked you about it.

It's all right. It happened a pretty long time ago anyways, and so I've gotten over it, for the most part. It just hurts to talk about and all, but I'm completely okay (❁´◡`❁)

If you say so.
