I guess I shouldn't care as much if they don't accept it, I'm just a paranoid person. Unfortunately I don't have the choice to not live at home as I don't have two pennies to rub together. It's alittle harder to ignore if you have people mentioning "when you get a girlfriend..." all the time.

Hey, I just wanted to ask you folks if any of you have encountered this? Whenever I have come out to someone (apart from my brother, love him) I am met with disbelief like just having a laugh or something or they dismiss it and pretend I've said nothing. This is what happened when I told my parents and now I'm worried they don't accept me and that frustrates and upsets me. Has anyone else encountered this or am I overly paranoid?

I would just like to say that that was beautiful Hopelessly Broken, you've pretty much described the core of my belief about gender. Nice to see other people think the same way. In regards to OP I had thought that my own less than standard gender coupled with my ASD was something I thought I was alone with. It's also nice too see that there are lots more than just me. ;-]

Hi there Crazyboards, I'm new here but I'm hoping some of you guys' optimism, good sense and advice might rub off on me. Not really good at introductions but I just thought I'd say hi.
