Love, Family, Trans Rights and LGBTQIA+: Trans women are women

Trans women are women

Today, I'm dating a trans girl, who is also my best friend. She confessed to me long ago that she was born male, and that wasn't a big deal to me. The problem is that my family is constantly harassing her, because I should have been "with a real girl instead of a monster with severed genitals." FML

Today, I was staying over at a friend's house for the weekend while the rest of my family goes to Cuba. Her neighbor started hitting on me. As it turns out, "he" was actually born as a "she", and now I'm apparently a transphobic bitch for not being interested. Two more days to go. FML

Today, my very conservative mom met my girlfriend, who recently shaved her head in support of her best friend, who has cancer. My girlfriend looks beautiful and feminine even with her still very short hair. My mom, however, keeps insisting that I'm dating "a confused transgender". FML

Today, my girlfriend trusted me enough to tell me that she's trans. I have no problem with this, the problem is my sister overheard her. She ran and told our parents, who are also our landlords, so now either I dump the woman I love or we'll both be homeless. FML

Today, I'm a closeted trans man, and I feel terrible every time my family calls me "she" or "girl". Help me, I don't know how to come out. FML

Today, my ex came out as transgender. I had absolutely no problem with this, in fact I celebrated her bravery. What I did have a problem with was all my friends immediately assuming that this was the reason I broke up with her, and not that she'd cheated on me for 6 months. FML

Today, a female friend of mine keeps telling people we’re dating. No matter how many times I told her I'm gay and only attracted to men, she won’t take that for an answer. She’s actually arranged for me to meet her parents next weekend. FML

Today, I found out that my girlfriend is actually a man. Not a transgender person, I'm okay with that, but an actual gay man who gets a kick out of pranking other guys. FML

Today, the girl I'd been dating online for 6 months told me she was a guy. I said it was alright, and that I was still in love. Then she confessed she really was a girl, and was just trying to make me dump her so she wouldn't be the "bad guy". FML

Today, my best friend confessed to me that she's a lesbian. She quickly added, "Oh, don't worry, I don't like you. You're not attractive." FML

What a hurtful and disrespectful lot. Please do talk to them to know if they can cease their harrassment. If they don't, your girlfriend, who is a normal human being, must be kept distanced from them. Do apologize to your GF on your disdainful family's behalf. Imma assume your family will never accept her so keep them at distance if they choose not too. Sorry about this, OP. **** her life as well.

Then your family is absolute crap for treating someone that way. If you love her then great, they don't need to be in your life to see you happy. Family or not

Hi. My trans girlfriend is pre-op but even so, my family adore her because they can see that I am really happy for the first time in years. The problem is not her, it's them. Well done for having the courage to stick with her. Screw your family, they clearly don't care about your happiness. She does, however. Leave them, stick with her. Good luck!

I am sorry your family has no respect for you. your love for someone is not based on their genitals, but on how they make you feel about yourself and vice versa. good luck with your relationship in spite of your families lack of respect.

What a horrible bunch they are. I would cease contacts with them, not only cos they are mean and disrespectful towards your girlfriend but also cos they sound toxic and ignorant.

Drop your so called family. Keep your gf safe. Association with trash like your family isn't good for her or your relationship. Tell them to back the **** off and make arrangements to remove them from your life.
