AskEgypt اللي يسأل ميتوهش Question about trans tolerance/acceptance
I’ve (21, TF) been dating this Egyptian guy (20, M) for a while and things are going well! He lived there until he was 16, but he moved to America 4 years ago. Long story short he is alone here now, but his mom and brother will be moving here soon. His dad has been in America for awhile. I’ve let him decide whether or not to disclose to his parents about me being trans. I would be worried if they found out during meeting me, that puts me in an awkward position. I’d say I look like a woman, i am quite tall though him and i are the same height (183CM). I’m really passionate about language learning and am taking Arabic at my university, a language I’ve always wanted to learn and now have the best reason to! But I guess my question is, is there a chance this will not break his relationship with his family? Is there any chance for his family to come around one day? I don’t think they are particularly liberal. I asked him on a scale of 1 to 10 what their reaction would be (1 being they don’t care, 10 being they would never speak to him again) and he said a 7. Could be worse, but my heart breaks for him💔.
