This is exactly what I feared. All this TQ and woke crap is hurting gay, lesbian and bisexual people. Because most people are such light switch brains and they won’t listen. I’m just glad I came out to my parents years before the T became prominent.

Hopefully your parents will listen to your explanations. Hopefully they will eventually accept you as you are, allow you to date women and support you. Until then, focus on becoming financially independent of them so that there is nothing they can do to stop you from pursuing happiness. Maybe write a letter and leave it for them to read. You see, if you write a letter, then they cannot interrupt you. Parents often do that when their children speak to them, because they jump to conclusions about their children and ignore the nuances or think that their children talk nonsense. Just write the letter, explain in it that you are a lesbian and that you disavow anything and everything to do with all this queer crap. They can’t interrupt a letter.

Do not feel stupid. I remember coming out of and going back into the closet when I was 15 and 16 because my parents wrongly assumed that I was only saying I was gay to appear special and they accused me of being insensitive to "actual gay people", or assumed I was only thinking I was gay because of Wikipedia. They went as far as to claim that all gay men were effeminate and only hung out with girls, which is ridiculous. But boomers tend to believe what television says without question, just like how millennials are with social media. Eventually, I just gave up and just said I was doing it for attention, and pretended to be straight. Then my parents saw the signs. I befriended this girl, and it was clear I had no interest in being her boyfriend. Among other signs. Then they started asking if I was gay. I kept shutting down the conservation because I was fed up. A year after dodging the conversations, they said that somebody came out and assured me that they would support me no matter what. Then I came out as gay. And the conversation is over. I’m gay, everybody knows, and I’m myself. I’m even more masculine now than I was before I came out. And much more conservative, ironically enough. Maybe I should have been more assertive, or have written them a letter, but it’s all in the past. I have a great relationship with my parents now, and that’s all that matters. The point is, it will take time for your parents to accept that you are a lesbian, and learn that not all homosexuals are like what the telly portray us as. For now, your priorities should be your hobbies and doing well at school. And saving up money. Eventually your parents will have to start questioning what they’ve been told by both woke activists and homophobes alike. And start asking you questions. And listen. But if they do come around, make sure that they do not overcompensate by going woke and worshipping TRAs.

I wish you the best of luck. We’re here for you.
