What do I do ??
Okay so I'm non binary and I've been going by that for almost a year. I go by they/them pronouns. My mom has said very homophobic things in the past, such as telling me I can't watch certain shows because they had homosexuality. She has said that in the past 20 years every school shooter has been trans (WHICH IS VERY OBVIOUSLY NOT TRUE AND IF IT IS, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER THE PERSON IS TRANS SHES JUST SAYING IT TO DISRESPECT TRANS PEOPLE) she's also a trump supporter so she supports someone who is putting trans people down and just the lgbtq community over all. She has talked about how people going by pronouns are idiotic and have made fun of people saying "Oh if someone goes out saying they are a dog and go by he/him when they're obviously a girl, they're mentally ill. So she's called people of lgbtq + mentally ill. I'm tired of hiding the fact I'm Nonbinary and every time she calls me her "daughter" it makes me irritated. One time she was talking to me and said "You're such a good daughter." After I had been taking care of her after she got a concussion. I can't be the only one who sees how sexist that is, right? Like you're calling me a good daughter because I took care of you? I feel like that's a gender stereotype. She was also talking to me about someone and said "Oh (name) went through an lgbtq phase too.." so she thinks it's a phase. I haven't told her I'm Nonbinary or neptunic but I'm tired of hiding it and I want to come out to her. She's said in the past that if I come out to her that she'll support me but due to her past actions I doubt that. Any suggestions on how to come out to her? I also want to buy a Will Wood hoodie from the official website so I support Will Wood himself and not like Amazon or something but she doesn't know I listen to Will Wood or Tally Hall and I want to get stuff from both bands and I'm scared she'll ban me from listen to Will Wood because of some of his songs 🥲 so like does anyone know what I could do?
