Oh dang, we are in the same boat then.

My parents don't agree either, but they also think gay people are sinners or "gross". That's one of the reasons I don't talk to them(apart from physical/mental abuse).

Does you mother see the surgery as like "any type of plastic surgery, so they can do whatever they want" but maybe no the implication of what the surgery means?(ex. Person who is trying to invade on others rights). Idk, I think maybe some people don't see it bad because they might think it's not different than other people get plastic surgery...but I don't know.

I am assuming that my mother does not know what is involved in these surgeries. I didn’t know what was involved until I watched Mister Metokur’s video on the subject. I could show it to her, but the video is so disgusting that my friend, who has seen a lot of liveleak videos without any problems, couldn’t finish the video. If I show this video to my mother, it might traumatise her. It doesn’t help that Mister Metokur's tone might put her off. However, my mother does support separating the T from the LGB because she knows that they are separate issues and knows that non-binary is bullshit. She also knows that my country’s self-ID law is potentially dangerous. She’s not woke. That’s good enough for me.
