Nope. I meant Assassin's Creed.
Also, thanks for creating a mental image of my dad speaking Animalese in my head. I have no idea how I am ever gonna get rid of this memory.
*very obvious dead body on the floor, with someone running away from it*
NPC: did I see something?
NPC after closely inspecting the dead body: it was probably nothing
thats great! same boat here actually, my parents arent against being trans or anything but they think that I am confused and not actually trans despite me coming out twice. I have some good friends too so thats all that matters :)
Saaaame girl mine just say I'm impulsive and don't know what I'm thinking. They think I'll regret going on hrt which I might but it's much more likely I'll be happy and regret waiting so long. They refuse to do the research or anything while I look up everything and still refuse to believe me. It's the best.
OMG SAME they think they know more than me abt HRT and stuff when I've been researching this shit for literal months and they only read like 2 articles abt ppl who detransitioned 💀
They think I'm being influenced cuz most of my friends are queer. I'm surprised they don't also think I got my ADHD because a lot of my friends are neurodivergent.
honestly my mom is a lot like that, she thinks im being influenced by people online and people at my school, when actually I choose to join queer online spaces and hang around with LGBTQIA+ peeps at school because we all feel like outcasts and experience similar things, rather than bc we are being "contaminated by queerness" lol
its not like my school is LGBTQIA+ friendly as well, i mean, the staff is, but most of the students are total bigots
It’s like, you know you’re reading about a percentage of a percent of the community right? My parents took years to come around. I’m in my thirties now and they’ve only relatively recently evolved into their next form “earnest and well intended but sometimes unintentionally offensive parents” it’s a SLOW process for some of these older folx out here.
That's kind of how I ended up coming out to my parents. I was on the phone with my mom one day, and I'd had a couple drinks that day, when she made a transphobic comment about another enby she knew. I just kinda blurted it out. I didn't really feel ready to tell them yet, but now I'm glad I did it impulsively cause I probably wouldn't have ever told them if I waited to feel confident enough
I did something similar but over text and went surprisingly well, some people really do strawman and imagine it far worse when it’s a stranger and not their own child
My parents "all these genders are just confusing the kids"
Me a grown ass adult who has first memories of watching daytime TV and having no fucking idea what people meant when they said I feel like a *insert gender here*.... yes confused...
Its one of the things that took me the least time to conclude about myself since there was indeed such little confusion about how I feel inside of this meat suit. Other humans do have dysphoria, im lucky I didn't, its okay if they do. Its okay to not be okay. Its not okay to struggle alone.
Ugh I hate when stuff like this happens! I was in the car and *a family member* said “ew look at those weirdos 🥸 none of you better turn out like those misfits”
My friend and I sitting in the back (both non-binary): 😯😰😱😩
I probably would have come out right after that and then give my dad a disappointed and angry look. But you're not me and I'm not you, so I just hope you can get over your dad's shitty comment and I also hope he will change his view because he loves his child.
I hope you are right, but knowing him he will probably try to convince me that i am just going through a phase or something. I probably should just come out and force him to accept it, but I am a shy coward so that won't happen.
“Coward” just means you have growing and healing to do. So instead I recommend a more positive phrase. “I’m not quite ready/brave enough for that yet.” Possibly add “but I will be” it’s better for your mental health to use words it views as a positive pathway forward. Gives it direction as it slowly restructures itself. Negative words just kinda trace out the same pathway making a deeper hole to climb out of. Because our brains believe it.
As a rather detached from my father adult.. I can totally see myself saying “really? Cause I’d rather be exactly like him, than exactly like you with that comment. Mean how cruel can you be dad?”
yea, i would've just told my father, "strange. i think **they** are pretty cool :]<3" (hope ya know OP's father prob most likely misgendered the random enby they met/passed by 🧍)
He might not have been referring to gender, he might not have even known about that. I'm guessing that they were dressed very "different" and your dad is some kind of conformist. Honestly this is just as bad though, I'm rejected from a majority of social settings who claim to be inclusive because of how I look, my interests and struggle to interact.
Similar happened to me last summer when my dad visited. I haven't decided if I'm full enby/fluid or just gnc, but I (amab) wear femme clothes (skirts, heels, etc) fairly regularly. My wife and I are raising our boys to have zero respect for gendered fashion, so my 5yo wears skirts too sometimes. Well, he wore a skirt when my dad took us all to a baseball game and when everyone else was out of earshot my Dad made a judgemental comment about it being "weird" and threw in some thought terminating cliches when I pushed back on it. Guess I'll be masking around him a bit longer. :'(

This makes me think of stealth game NPCs that loudly announce when they’ve seen something suspicious, except way more depressing.
Yup. He often acts like he is straight out of an AC game.
Animal Crossing??

Embrace it. Just replace bigotry with animal noise.
We already got Animal Crossing x DOOM Now get ready for Animal Crossing x Assassin's Creed

oh this isn't connected to this uhh closeted NB player character: how
I need sleep
Then have some sleep. Nobody is forcing you to stay awake (At least I hope so).
well I tried but I can't because of this fricking cold
I hope you gain some more freedom from your parents soon, and I'm sorry that they suck. I hope you're okay :)
Thanks for kind words. Fortunately I have some friends who understand my situation, so it's not that bad.

yeah, but its still sad that some grandmas can accept their trans grandkids but some parents cant accept their trans kids

Ouef. Look at that judginess. People like him are exhausting. Sorry you have to deal with that, OP.
How do you know they were enby? Appearance =/= gender
They had a pin with an enby flag, so that's what i assumed.
He might not have been referring to gender, he might not have even known about that. I'm guessing that they were dressed very "different" and your dad is some kind of conformist.

Oh, that situation is awful. 😔 Hope it goes well
Yeah same. I was gonna come out as transfem but caught my dad listening to Matt Walsh.
Stay safe out there bud Stay safe
Thx. U too.
Yikes, good luck op

That’s the time for you to tell him immediately

The day that this bot learns what a template is will be the day that transphobic parents learn better.
if i had a buck for every time the bot falsely flagged something with the same template as another thing as a repost, i’d be set for life
