*hugs* I'm sorry to hear L1am. It is very hard if ones own parent doesn't acknowledge it. Surely you have supportive people around you (or at least I hope you do! Look, here's one right now, it's me
), but when it's the parents .... I cannot even begin to fathom how hard that must be.
If I may ask L1am, are you:
male -> female or
female -> male (ignoring the fact that you are, and always have been, what you are today
)
