And how can I explain this to my parents that both believe everything they hear or see on TV. My mother was literally screaming to me on the phone while I am on a holiday, how some poor girl boxer in the Olympics was beaten by a man... I told her - first of all, this doesn't sound possible, second of all - did you research this? Her answer - No, it was on the news and X and Y said it's true. No way of making her change her mind and I even explained it to her that it was triggering me and bringing me back to my childhood when I was a gay boy in a terribly homophobic Slavic country. And I would constantly hear stereotypes and how a boy shouldn't be girly and etc. This time entire countries are BULLYING a woman, because she is not girly enough. They are labeling her something she is not... and all while they are showing such hatred towards the trans community, it's unbearable. Sorry for writing so emotional, but this topic makes me emotional .
