transphobia + parent 

today i declined to disclose if a friend of mine was transgender or not bc my parents always fucking ask me for some reason. i think that i came off as being hostile which is unsurprising to me because its kind of an invasive question and i was reacting to that. theyre both upset about this

transphobia + parent 

i have told them if friends are trans or not in the past but only when i have explicit permission to. i explained that i would not tell them this information because it's sensitive information that's not my place to disclose and it's not hard to take cues from the name & pronouns im using but they act as if that is unreasonable and that i am withholding critical information

i can apologize for being more rude/hostile than necessary in explaining this but my pricklyness is in response to them being "like this."

gender therapist also appears to be mostly on their side. theyre not even really trying to understand why i cant just fucking disclose my friends genders or status as trans and they suck
