I love my parents despite their flaws and they accepted and are trying to be supportive but... When I made my coming out things were said that was not really ok.

"Better that than a disease or cancer" ... I mean REALLY do I have to be compared to cancer or some kind of awful disease.

"Be careful about HIV." - > everyone should be careful about that. I know where this comes from but... Still.

And the classic : "you're still my son"

At the end they said child at least when I told then that's not the goal of my transition.

I understand they are from a different generation still. And somehow that was the best reaction they could have in my mind.

Edit : I gave them some reading to understand a bit better some things. But teaching parents is hard.
