Well fuck. I have to come out as trans to my conservative brother today. lea-breakdown

transphobia and homophobiaI've gone almost 3 years now without telling him, because he's a transphobic techbro dipshit. He tolerates gay people, but thinks trans people are all mentally ill and just need conversion therapy or something. I really don't want to do this, but I can't delay it any longer. It's obvious that I've become much more feminine over the past few years, and lately he's been questioning my parents about what's up with me and if I'm gay or something. If I don't say anything he'll just force an answer out of my parents. Currently he's in another country, and won't be returning for probably another few months, but I'm still really scared of how he'll react.

I fucking hate this shit so much. I can't handle conflict, yet I have no choice here. And it has to happen now, when I'm pretty much at my lowest point in terms of confidence and self-worth. Why can't I just exist? Why does this have to be such a big fucking thing that I have to announce to others? Why can't other people just mind their own fucking business and let me come out at my own pace?

He's also taller than me and way stronger, so that's fun. I'm not comfortable with the fact that he could beat the shit out of me if he felt like it, even if it seems unlikely that he'll do such a thing.

Good luck, I know how difficult it can be knowing it will more than likely be a negative outcome meow-hug

[โ€“] khizuo@hexbear.net 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

meow-hug I know what it feels like. I'm sorry you have to go through this.

[โ€“] Kiagz@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago

meow-hug I knew it had to happen at some point, maybe it's better I do it now while he's away

meow-hug I really can't give you enough of my empathy, I am hoping for the best for you.
