transI've been labouring under a misapprehension.
I had assumed my parents resistance to my transition was based on ignorance. It seemed a fairly valid assumption.
And they wouldn't read the book I bought them so I got them a 16 page pamphlet from MIND. I brought it in and said "Since you don't have time to read the big book I got you a short guide."
And the reply "We both read the book on holiday."
Nothing else, just that. They read the book,as if it was a duty or a punishement they had to endure.
I'm not sure where to go with this now. I'd thought that a little knowledge would open them up a little, but it hasn't changed anything. I guess I can stop hoping for blinding flashes of revelation from them now. It's going to be the long hard grind...
