My mom made no such effort, and gave up on calling me Jessica a couple of years ago. I’d cry my eyes out if she had sent me what your dad sent you. I know that she loves and cares about me, but she also refuses to see me as how I truly am. It’s such an odd experience, hurtful at many times. But she also bought me a car last year, and has offered to help me bridge the gap when I was off work for 2 weeks due to an injury. In spite of her non-support, I love her dearly.
What I’m getting at is that familial relationships are nuanced. Give your dad some credit for taking the time to research what being trans is about. Of course there is more to it than just the medical side of things, but he is trying.
Your age also factors into this as well.
My stepfather made several transphobic statements while he was alive. If he was still with us, I’d bet his conservative worldview would have changed a bit. I still hold him in high regard, because I know that he loved me and just wanted what he thought was best.
TL;DR: Family relationships are hard, and it seems like your dad is trying.

Without knowing the nuances of OP’s relationship with their father, it would seem that dad is trying. That text sounds like someone who did a lot of research and is trying to show that they cared enough to read up on the trans experience. Whether that leads to acceptance is something only OP will know or at least have an idea of.

Come on now. Having therapy should not be a requirement, but it should be encouraged. When someone has the courage to come out as trans, it can be a very difficult time. Having a professional that helps people who experience gender dysphoria can be a life saver. How many trans people have to go it alone in the beginning of their journey? If they have the means, I’d recommend it. Just reading studies or participating in trans spaces, for some folks, is not enough.

Literally nobody in the trans community cares about this topic until conservatives discovered it was effective.

Someone better than I should make a copypasta of the typical .ml response. Most of their shit reads as that way anyway.

That’s hilarious, I JUST started watching The IT Crowd for the first time!

Nothing fixes it. The language is still Russian. Changing it and changing it back doesn’t do anything. Factory resetting does not fix it either.
The links I provided show other users trying fixes, and nothing working.

Didn’t catch that one. Any good?

The original is a masterpiece. That said, I loved the sequel and have rewatched it multiple times. However, I don’t know if it is because I love the film or just anything Ryan Gostling is in 🤤😅

Am saying society in general in the west has far too authoritarian mindsets that are just dumb.
How does that have anything to do with a creepy 38 year old dating a 17 year old?

I’d need to get in better shape first. As it turns out my new workout shoes will be here tomorrow. Maybe the universe is telling me to turn myself out?

My son and I played COD Mobile. Domination at Shipment before my dad arrived. We just got these two assault rifles gold, and we started the grind to diamond. It’s a fun game, without having to pay to win to enjoy.
