People that I love who I want to keep in my life are proving incapable of accepting who I am.
I have a lot of other friends and family, so I’m not without people to talk to, but it’s pretty hard to have your spouse and parents and priest so tell you that you need to get mental help and figure out what’s real, after you’ve been getting help and are on the road to accepting yourself…
People push themselves and others to change when their opinion is that they can do better. In this case you’re saying you’re getting help and improving but people around you seem to think it’s making things worse? Did I get it right?
Many times people disagree on a very fundamental level. The first step is you agreeing with yourself and accepting yourself, which seems to be under control.
The last step is quite often about after life considerations. Since I’m not religious, many will find my opinion over simplistic: that’s not a thing so why care. Fortunately the Pope is more progressive than their followers. The message is, taboos change over time.
People don’t usually tell other people they are confused and have a mental illness while referring to something every major medical organization in the country agrees is part of the normal pattern of variation that humans experience.
I get what you’re trying to say and I guess it’s my fault for being delicate about it, but I am trans and that doesn’t mean I’m delusional and conversion therapy wouldn’t “fix” me no matter how many priests suggest it.
