A vent about my life
(pricefield.org)
That is quite a lot, and I really feel how all that can drag you down further.
I think a big chunk of the generation of our parents, who always demands that people should have some respect and be decent, have rapidly taken a more than conservative standpoint, indoctrinated by right wing news.
I am nb (but not very visibly) and I’m neither out to my parents nor my parents in law, cause I’m sure they’ll handle it just like your dad.
We obviously disagree on many topics though, so since I got my independence, I reduced contact to them when they constantly overstepped. This worked wonders, since they suddenly realised it’s more important for them to meet up with me/ us than blabbering anti-woke garbage.
Also, venting here and reaching out for support networks is always great when you are down (though all the harder to do, I know).
The political situation in your state is horrible, but we will prevail and things will turn for the better eventually. 💜
And concerning the weight part, I personally love to do martial arts, it’s an easy way to lose weight and gives you a sense of knowing how to defend yourself. I could imagine more queer people need dojos right now, so maybe there is a group to be found or founded already.
