I've been on HRT for about a year now. During this time, I've been living away from my parents because of university, which gave me space to transition more freely. They know I'm trans, but they're very uneducated about it they made me promise not to take any hormones because they believe HRT will somehow turn me into a "monster."
They recently came to visit for my graduation, and I wore a binder to hide my chest around them. I was trying to avoid conflict and keep the peace. But yesterday morning, before I had a chance to put the binder on, my dad came up to me right after I woke up. Without warning, he flicked my nipple and said, "Wow, those look bigger." Since then, my mom has been pushing me to take my shirt off in front of her. Even resorting to phisically fighting with me pushing my shirt off, which just led me to scream and freakout (in a way that I didnt think it was possible for me to). On the end she only backed off because my girlfriend was still at the house.
Now that my girlfriend’s gone to work, my parents just messaged me saying they “need to talk” and that they’re coming over. I’m freaking out. I don’t know what to do or what they’re going to say. I feel cornered and unsafe in my own home. And I know this isnt the best place to just talk about this but I really needed to vent.
Update (idk if I’m doing this right): I ended up meeting with them in a local place, where they doubled down about the binder and I had to lie about my back problems saying it’s to fix my back (apparently they accepted it). Thank you so much everyone for they help on some stuff to do, I started taking down notes on stuff that happened/happens for safekeeping. Again thank you so much, I think I can manage it for now.
Update 2: Hey everyone just to update everyone I guess, I’m fine, they left on their flight today at 6am. My dad decided to cut contact to restart his life (there is so much family drama, I won’t go into it),my mother will keep contact at an arms length so no boundaries are overstep. Now I will just focus on adulting from now on, gotta get that post grad job to pay the bills
. Thank you for the emotional support.
