Personally I ignore it. I’ll get a “well actually” quip in here or there, but ultimately I avoid the scream fests bc that does nothing but make me look like an ass to them. I cannot control them, or their feelings. It’s not my job to educate them. It’s their job to love me and wants to learns. Sometimes they do. Sometimes they’re an old dog unable to learn new tricks. It’s not my job to care about them. I can only control my reactions to them, and I choose my own happiness and peace.
My dad told me if im gay to not come out until hes in his grave so thats lowk what imma do. Its sad bc i wish he could walk me down the aisle yk hes my father but i know he would die happier not knowing im gay so idk It hurts and its rlly hard but u have to find a chosen family. Ppl who will never judge u for that and hekp u not feel crazy
it can be pretty bad, one christmas i sat there and unwrapped all these presents that were hyper feminine, pink, girly, and all of which were things i never expressed an interest in. i made a list of things i wanted. got none of them. i had to sit there and try not to cry as every gift i opened was meant for a teenage girl. i returned every single "present" i could and threw out the rest. im 100% my parents knew exactly what they were doing
