I feel so much for these letters and the people in the same situation writing them. However, y'all have got to work through and get over having y'alls happiness contingent on your families' acceptance. Separate from that. Yes, it's VERY heartbreaking. But most family never change, and even if they do, you can put that part of your life on the shelf until they come around. But in the meantime move on n be happy! ^_^ xoxo

you are so strong, don't let them shape you
you are who you are
i know this may not be helpfull, but I need to reach out to somone who would understand
i have been dropping hints to my parents such as
- mom, I really want to cut my hair short
- can we go shop in the mens clothing, i like the shirts more
they just say, oh honey, you would look so ugly with short hair
you would be so ugly
you can do it after this year so your school photos look ok, then after you can destroy your hair and style
i wish i was FtM
I just can't tell my parents
i wish I could tell my parents
sorry you have had to go through this hate, don't belive them, you are wonderfull
be/stay stroing

Im, only 15 years old, and i have to go through so much eye to eye hatred...
My mothers side of the familyaccepts me except for my grest grandmother, who already hit my lesbian cousin over the head with her chanclas and said "no"
My father is neither accepting, but was born where theres no gays, no trans, nobody but straigh, my mom hates the way i dress, hates the way i stretch my tight clothing, I dont want this anymore...
I was eleven when i said i wanted mommy to be there, she said it was okay, she said she was going to get me a binder and we high fived, the first time i heard no acceptance the day after she 'accepted' me was this: here...:
"So we are going on vacation!?" I asked excitedly, my eleven year old eyes clouded with pure happiness
"Yes! And oh we we are going to get you the best dress!" If she wasnt in the car seat she wouldve been jumping and twirling like a ballerina, her graceful giggling and smiling,
"Mama, remember what i said yesterday?" I asked, gleaming wih joy and steam.
"Oh, yeah." My mommys face got dull, almost as if anger was seeping through
"OMG, can we get stuff from the m-" I was cut off with the most terrifying voice...
"NO! God doesnt accept you wearing boys clothing! What youtube videos are you watching to make you think this way, little woman, you have sprouting breasts and a vagina, shut up, you cant be no boy..."
I thought i was going to die on how much i cried...
I remember many thoughts i had in my head, the one that stood out to me was
"Mommy, can you help me please, i want you to help me mommy, please please please?"...
Im bawling as i write this, be yourself, everyone, dont let anyone stop you...

So relatable!
I just wish my parents supported,understood and loved me for who I am. And not called by my birth name because it's embarrassing!

That was touching... I suddenly feel a lot more sorry for those FtM guys who don't have as supportive and accepting parents as I do. Great letter! This guy should give that to his mum! And to that guy: Don't ever quit fighting for who you are!

i have yet to come out to my parents, because i'm afraid that they'll react badly...i don't want them to hate me, and i want them to see it's not a phase. i just don't know how to make them see that...

Oh man. I...this is...I don't even think I can form a coherent sentence for the sympathy I feel for you right now, man.
I'm also an FtM. I haven't had the courage to come out to my family yet. Mostly because, my family is extremely religious. But the way that you described this is exactly how I'm picturing my mother reacting...and it makes my heart just ache...
I'm here for you, man. I support you one hundred percent.

I started crying. I am just starting out as FTM. And my dad has been FTM for 2 years. My family has shut him out and I'm afraid to come out to them because I don't want to be shut out either.
I love it. Thank you so much!

You poor, dear, boy. You care so much for your family - I hope that when I'm a father someday I have sons as devoted and strong as you.
I hope and pray that your Mom finds it in her heart to understand and accept you. You are still her baby, you still love her, and I really hope she sees that. You're her son, and you want to do right by your family, and that's really good.
Please take care, and stay strong. I'm rooting for you.
- Siegfried

Oh my.. This is so amazing, it's so full of emotions, and so strong. I'm so sorry your mother is reacting like that about you, I know how it is, since my mother has reacted similar herself. It's no fun, and it's hard for both. Hopefully your mother will come around and everything will be fine in the end. Don't give up, look ahead of you to a bright future instead. Just give your mother time,I know it may seem hopeless, but is all it seem that can be done for now.
