I am bisexual and gender fluid. I have been in a committed relationship for two years, and my partner accepts me for exactly who I am. They are very supported about what I want in life too.
I am also out to all of my friends, publicly on FB, and to my immediate family. I have come out to my great grandma, and ended up explaining bisexuality to her.
However, I want to come out to my whole family. It is important to me that I am loved for exactly who I am. I like who I am and I want everyone to know and love me for every part of me.
However, my mom told me that "I am not allowed to because it would look bad on her." She also asked me when I told her I didn't want to be considered a female anymore "why I didn't love myself?"
I am very frustrated with her responses to my sexuality and gender and would like some advice from someone who has had similar experiences with a parent would if afraid of the judgment of family for having a queer child.
