Re: Vent thread

So, I came out to my mother today. Was...weird. On the one hand, she didn't freak out or get angry or disown me or anything. On the other hand, she made it clear she still believes what she believes. And then she said that she maybe understands a little because of how men can often treat larger women?

WTF, Mom? I'm not bi by choice. I didn't choose to be attracted to women anymore than I chose to be attracted to men. It isn't because I don't want to deal with fatphobic men. And frankly, women can be plenty fatphobic too. I'm bi because that's who I am.

I guess this was about the best I could expect. At least she's not kicking me out and it appears as if she's just going to pretend this never happened.

MMMH. I can relate to you a lot. My mom still refuses to acknowledged that I'm a lesbian and yeah, when I came out a couple of years ago she said something along the lines of "you just wait and you'll find a man who love you even if you're masculine" (for context: I'm an overweight butch woman) as if I wanted to be a lesbian because I couldn't find love with men. ://

It was very strange and the beginning, but then I reflected on that and I accepted that my mother, who's 69 years old now, has some limitations. Even if she's not homophobic, she's still pretty ignorant and refuses to really dive into the complexity of sexual preferences and identities. And... that's OK. I don't really care that much.

She still loves me. She doesn't really understand me, but it's something she never did, so it's not something that I miss terribly from my relationship with her.

I hope everything will be alright for you! Hang in there. Dealing with people's confusion when you come out is pretty hilarious in hindsight.
