"being trans is just misogyny" there is nothing wrong with being a woman and loving yourself as a woman, but it's just not right for you. acknowledge how living as a woman has taught you valuable lessons, and transitioning isn't going to change that.

"you can be whoever you want with hormones" cis women in menopause take estrogen, cis men take testosterone for building muscle, and a bunch of other things. they are still the same person, but the hormones help them feel more comfortable with their bodies.

just insist upon the fact that whatever hormones or surgeries you get, it's not going to change who you are as a person. besides, you're 31, and you deserve to be able to take control of your own life

it's not easy dealing with unaccepting parents (regardless of the severity), so stay strong! <3
