        My bf had it clocked since we were young and just friends so when I came out he was like “lmao about time” where as everyone else is like “WHAT I HAD NO IDEA? YOU BEING SUPER EFFEMINATE AND GETTING UPSET ABOUT BEING FORCED TO DO BOY THINGS DIDNT SEEM RELEVANT?” and part of me is like if they didn’t know what trans was then sure parents might not make the connection but at the same time like come on 💀 I got grounded enough for putting makeup on like what else did you need?!

            Lmao parents making our repression look tame in comparison.

            I remember telling my dad and then asking him to sit and do some art with me and it was a solid hour of sheer crippling silence. Like wtf speak you idiot I’m not going to eat your brains.
