#it was like this with my parents for a long time though

christian parents be like “my child CAN’T be trans or gay!! i would know”. honey, your child perfected lying by the time they were in middle school, have only fed you carefully curated and select information about themselves to give you the illusion of closeness, they also successfully convinced you they’re a good little christian despite having left the church years ago, and have processed and struggled with their gender and sexuality for longer than you would guess. you probably don’t know their biggest fear, or favorite film, much less the intimate details about their gender or sexuality.

#make it my grandparents and yes #it was like this with my parents for a LONG time though #it’s complicated and I’m probably too good at keeping secrets now #how it was growing up #transphobia tw #homophobia tw
