Hi Trans_boi,

I'm really sorry to hear about what has been happening. I cannot imagine how painful it must be having to hide your true identity from your parents and having to deal with their intolerance/prejudices toward LGBTQI+ folk. It is understandable that you feel extremely frustrated about it. If you feel up to it, I would really encourage you to reach out to the people at QLife (https://qlife.org.au/) - it is a great support service with online resources, a helpline (1800 184 527) and online chat. They may be able to offer you some helpful advice and support.

Please feel free to reach out anytime on the forums when you feel up to it. Take care.
