Ask Andrew W.K.: How Do I Make My Family Understand I'm Transgender? "Dear Andrew,
Last month I came out as transgender, beginning my transition to female. My mom has repeatedly tried to get me to move back home and see a therapist to "fix" me. My oldest sister called me a "sexual deviant" and forbid me to talk to my nieces and nephew, all of whom I was very close to. It's now been a month since this has happened. My question is, how can I reach out to my mom and my sister to help them understand better?
Sincerely, Rejected Trans Woman"bit.ly/1vE2G9o

Yep, that's a pretty good answer. And how is anybody going to argue with it?
"I love you." "I don't want your love." "I still love you." "And I don't want you anywhere near my kids." "I still love you, and I love them, too." "Don't you understand? You're sick." "I still love you." etc., etc.
They might eventually get the point.

Illuminess
I loved his advice, in particular
"Your love is big enough to compensate for the shortcomings and challenges others are facing. Your love is big enough to love your family even when it doesn't feel returned. Your love is big enough to envelop all the hurt and confusion and pain of life in one enormous, warm embrace.
Your love is the ultimate love that empowers all your efforts, a true love for what is indestructibly and perpetually you. This is more than self-love; this is a pure and blinding love of all existence and the glory of this amazing and perplexing adventure called "life."
Focus on this love, and more love, and even more love. More love than necessary. More love than possible.
You are this love. And this love is what you are releasing from within you as part of this journey. I'm proud of you. And I love you."
Safe travels
Aisla
