so earlier today my parents came into my room to tell me that one of our family members met one of my classmates and they started talking and my classmate corrected my family member on my name. my family knows i'm "plagued by delusion" but they've never been supportive of me or my older brother who is also trans.
my parents started telling me that they aren't going to play this game. my mom said she thinks i'm ugly and my name is better suited for a dog and made me repeat affirmations of being a girl who has 0 feelings of being transgender. she then said "if you're going to follow in your sister's footsteps, then you should just leave now because we aren't putting up with it." meaning that if i continue to just... be trans, then i'll be out of a home.
i don't know what i'm supposed to do. i'm 17, unemployed, and i have $30 to my name. i don't want to be homeless during my last year of high school, but i also don't think i can let myself detransition for safety because i would be putting my mental health at a severe risk. i'm scared. i can't believe it's easier for a parent to not have a child at all than a transgender one.

I'm so sorry you have to go through this, parents like this don't deserve children, you shouldn't have kids if you can't handle them being exactly what you want them to be. I hope you survive this hell.
