Btw sorry for coming across invalidating you re your feelings about your mother. My dad is a pain in a neck and I hate when people say “at least you have a father” so? You were correct I was projecting thinking of moms in general terms, not your particular difficult mother.

It’s ok to keep your interaction with them to a minimum when possible
No worries. It's also strange when other people you know seem to see your parents in a totally different way to the way you see them, like they act like different people around "outside" friends.

I think that some parents and people in general are confused about those who are transgender. For the most part they don't understand it. People can be very simple minded when we wish they could have more to them than they really have.
Yeah, you're right.

Yes, most people don't understand anything about being trans. I understand that people might find it difficult to accept (probably because of the way society is), but that doesn't mean I believe that it's acceptable to hurt trans people through this lack of understanding or ignorance.
