Today, I came out to my parents. They nodded empathetically throughout my entire speech and told me repeatedly that it was okay. As I smiled and stood up, my dad asked, "But you're still going to marry a guy, right?" FML

No worries, OP. Your dad will realize you're serious when you start bringing girls home. Happy hunting!

they probably think you're in a phase(((as mentioned before))) but really it's them, he'll come around depending on how stubborn he will determine the time

Many parents haven't even considered the possibility that their kid might be gay or could end up in jail or may end up becoming mentally ill. It always happens to someone else. I knew when I had kids that all these things are possible. Your dad will get used to it eventually.

And the ultimate shutdown response for that would have been "Maybe.... after the sex change" and leave it at that. ;-)

It'd be like that couple in Casualty! (a UK drama for anyone wondering)

Almost the same thing happened to me. The only difference is that after I came out to them, my mom keeps asking me over and over if i'm reeeeaaaally sure I wouldn't want to marry a guy instead.

I'm assuming you are a strait girl (as am I). If it was socially acceptable for you to date/marry other women, but you were only attracted to men, you wouldn't be to happy to be with a girl your whole life, would you? You can't just tell someone to ignore their sexual orientation.

Okay, the only reason I can figure you're saying this is probably cause you're young... right??? You do know gay people, especially lesbians, can have children

yeah they can have children but they aren't their own...if it wasn't wrong to be **** then they would be able to have kids of their own...

Thats true, but some would say "if something that feels so wrong feels so good then I don't want to be right." So right/wrong/does it matter? :P

My mom still insists that it's just a phase for me too...even though it's been nine years. Of course, I'm pansexual, which many people don't believe exists but hey, that's not my problem. :) I'm currently in a relationship with a transguy and I couldn't be happier. Forget your dumbass dad and do what's good for you.

Kudos to you on dating a trans-man. Many people don't see us trans-men for who we really are. congrats to you both.

Alright, I have to ask bc google confused me. What exactly is a trans man? Is it a man born a female, or a man wanting to be a female? Thanks.

A trans man is someone who was born with a female body, and considers himself a man.
