After Rejection From Family, Gender Non-Binary Person Learns To Live For Themselves.

[@Howiesgirl]

As a woman who desperately wanted children & was unavailable to have any, I find it unfathomable that parents can reject their children like this. I'd have been so thrilled with being able to raise & love a child, that I wouldn't care who or how they loved! And if they had gender issues, I'd have helped them through it with unconditional love & support. Parents who put conditions on their kids should be ashamed of themselves!!

You're Awesome!🤗🤗🤗

Wish u were my mother ! Because I was disowned for being a trans

[@alnthevalley1]

So beautiful that your extended family stood in for you!

[@TheIntrovert83]

Thats how my family is. They know but dont want to talk about it. Im not allowed to bring women at the house either. My mom seems to think that if she prays, I wont be gay no more. Well Im 37 yrs old and still gay! lol

[@TomasGarcia-zd1tg]

If am rejected by anyone and I mean, anyone...I dont need that person even if is blood......Life is to short and beautiful to waste it trying to change people's views...if they are not smart enough or they dont love me enough to understand that "this is ME"...then they cant be part of my journey.

[@amandacogger3075]

Brilliant comment! Family is not always made up of blood it's people who love care and support you! Be proud of who you are and I hope you have a lot of happiness and joy in your life

[@siginotmylastname3969]

Not everyone can do it painlessly, realise that leaving your original family can have serious financial consequences.

@MrGrumpykangaroo What do you think. Am I old enough to know about life? Just saying

[@Teyla-ob3nr]

Exactly omg ... I wish I had the courage to come out to my mom n dad💙💖💜

[@cjck1344]

me: **is non-binary and knows this channel has shitty comments** my brain: read the comments me: why my brain: you gotta

[@johnfritz4096]

I am sorry for all the heartache that you experienced. I too am not close with my family and it hurts me every single day. I am glad that you were able to find love and your authentic self. You are beautiful Parker, and I love you for you.

[@mackfam9798]

same

[@okimlistening2u]

"I understand, okay." Parker, you are a wonderful person, and that is all you need to know and remember. Thanks........love you......Ray

[@okimlistening2u]

Dear "It hurts when I pee on your mom", the point is that no one is able to destroy a couple's marriage. Only the couple, one or the other or both, can do that. It is not Parker's responsibility to figure out how others will handle Parker's truth. The most basic responsibility is for each of us to be WHO we are; how others deal with that is beyond our control. Thanks for the comment........Ray

[@cccccccoletta]

I cut my ENTIRE family off for the same reason. Still waiting for my partner but it feels liberating to free myself from my family's bondage

[@psicologiajoseh]

It is a painful story... but also one of humility and courage. Thanks for sharing it!

[@robertjohnburton9775]

Time to rethink families, time for a different way forward for the human race.

[@bernlin2000]

Remarkable person...I really appreciated hearing their perspective: non-binary is an identity (much like asexuality, for orientation) that is seldom understood. I really related to what they said here, even though I'm comfortable with binary pronouns personally (I can respect other people's identity in that regard easily, although I'm awfully forgetful!)

[@jv-ep2tc]

it is a lot to ask of everyone you meet to change their language to suit your emotional needs.... I suspect it is unsuccessful most of the time and may not be worth the effort.

[@greywhite8670]

Thank you for sharing your story, Parker. ❤️

[@Bridget2460]

Parker, thank you for sharing your story. So sorry, about losing your relationship with your parents, I know this first hand. You are extremely courageous...

[@theilliad4298]

This is such a common story. I'm glad you are in a good place.

[@tatsf]

I only have one sibling and we're both queer. I'm a cis gay man and my brother is a straight trans man. We were very lucky to have the support of my mother and her parents. My father was kind of uncomfortable, and then out of the picture. It's so sad to me that parents could choose to reject their child over gender and orientation issues, but I've seen so many over the years. Also, I guess we were extra lucky since we were kids back in the 60s/70s! (I'm 65 now!) Thank you for sharing your story, Parker!

[@Kristiana-mb9lk]

It's good to hear you speak about your experiences and what you have endured, so happy to hear that you have found the one that loves, cares and understands you. My family is the same; I get to see, feel and hear their displeasure; love the name Parker thank you for speaking up. 🙏♥️

[@rare2find0918]

Such a wonderful story. I'm in St. Paul!

[@alnthevalley1]

Thank you

[@user-eh8yz6ko3t]

I always thought parent’s love was unconditional but as I got older and met more of my LGBT community that is definitely NOT the case. These parents do not even know what they’re missing

[@tordyclark]

I feel its very disrespectful of your parents to not come to your wedding in the end. At the last minute. It's totally fine to disagree with someone's life/expression/whatever and still be in their life. It sounds like you are so respectful to your parents, you've even included yourself in breakdown of communications between you all ( "we decided to eat in silents from that point"). It means you can disagree and STILL sit in the same room with each other to focus on what you love. Love doesn't know those boundaries your parents seem to have set. IT's a real shame they're unable to rise above those petty things.

[@starberriiemmy4382]

Random but I literally love your name!

[@rhianimal19]

Nice to see a story from someone that doesn't fit their dominant narrative. That everything always gets better. Not for a lot of LGBTQ Folks it does not. Lots of folks get disowned and lose everything, but that doesn't mean they don't learn to survive and go on with life anyways. It's not always the family comes around and sing kumbaya together and everyone lives happily ever after. But like everything, the greatest revenge is surviving the people that H8 you and reject you, that's how you win.

[@dancewomyn1]

Such a sad story. I see a person who has made a decision to turn away from everything that represents their parents who wounded "them"/her? so much, that they want to give up their original instinct of female loving another female, to become non female, or non binary, neither male or female..They called themselves trans which was unexpected, because being trans actually means you've made a choice to be one or the other. They almost sound confused, but that makes complete sense. I am not casting judgement, I am disgusted with any parent who can so easily cast off their children simply because they don't understand them. It makes no sense to me as a parent. It causes irreversible pain, and sometimes deep self loathing to the extent that a person will change everything about themselves in order to numb the pain, and forget. I could be completely wrong and off base here, I hope I am. I hope they find peace with all of it.

[@calijarrett159]

Fantastic video

[@lestudio76]

Live your truth

[@Tina06019]

My son and his NB spouse have now removed themselves from our family because his brother doesn’t believe in the existence of non-binaries.

[@ImFromDriftwood]

We hope you are able to support your child & their spouse over your other son's bigotry. Reach out & be the one to break the ice by telling them you watched this video & are trying to learn!

[@JimmiAlli]

Good that you are you!

[@cccccccoletta]

Wow. I’m moving in the same direction

What do you do if you are a teen who has been questioning your sexuality and you have a homophobic family?

[@Suminisafavs]

Hi, I wanted to know if there is any pansexual video on this account or Bisexual ones??? appeared in my recommended recently

[@alnthevalley1]

What makes you gender non binary? I’m confused. Great expression of your journey. Thank you

[@alnthevalley1]

Awe, answered- so are you Female to Male?

[@Erik-fn7kj]

Ikant Standit No, neither.

[@renbaker5124]

You don't identify as a boy or a girl

[@ashenedrose]

basically, It is when you feel like your aren't just boy or girl. You can feel like you aren't either, you are both, or you can feel like you are part boy or girl and then part non-binary, anything really that isn't on the gender binary (male and female).

[@coraschaos1]

Communication is a two way street. Allthough i understand this is a short version of a long story, maybe you can help your parents understand what it is to be you. Stop communicating leads to a dead end.

[@ross_spirou_photography]

That is when parents should also stop expecting their kids to be what they want them to be and instead they should start accepting their kids and people in general as they are and if you actually read the description and listen to Parker, Parker did try to talk to them but they had no interest and nor were they interested in going to their wedding.

[@coraschaos1]

Ross I totally agree with you. My own daughter is gay and I’m cool with that, have always told her that you fall in love with a person, not a gender. But I also realise that for some parents it’s (for various reasons) not so easy to accept that their child is different than they’ve expected. Often it is the result of their own upbringing and the values their familiar with. So enlighten them and if it doesn’t work, try again and again. I think the relationship beween parents and children is so very important that it’s worth the efforts.

[@rhianimal19]

@@coraschaos1 So the children are supposed to be the parent, and the parent the children? Nuh. That's whack. It's better just to move on. The family will either come to terms with the boundaries set, or they will have to live with being a parental failure at the end of their days.

[@Kiss_lynda]

It sounds like she left her parents more than her parents left her. I would never be happy if my kids were gay. I would not stop loving them either. I love god more than my kids. God doesn’t change his rules…but being mean and arguing doesn’t help anyone. I would tell them I love them but not in my house. There’s no kissing or physical relation’s. I would say that if my child was straight and not married. It’s not always easy serving god. And ppl who truly seek him will find he’s worth more than anything this world has to offer. We have to choose him over all our fleshly desires and then he’ll allow you into his kingdom. Life is just the test. The test to see if we are easily influenced. There was a Lucifer and a big chunk of Angels that went rogue. Out of their jealousy towards us…I want nothing the devil has to offer. Look around…prophecies are being fore filled. Euphrates river, the Dead Sea now maintains life, nuclear war, fast spread of word, television….even television is in prophecy when Christ showed John the ENTIRE world can watch two prophets die. I’ve been trying to prove god is not real to myself but thankfully god always proves me wrong.

[@milannoise3104]

How did we come to that terminology as "non-binary gender"? What's going on with this world? How did it happen? I'm LGBT too. But this is probably too much, guys.

[@LauraPictures]

That only shows that just because someone is part of the LGBT community, doesn't mean that they know or understand anything more about being trans than straight cis people do...

[@ragingnica]

Ever think just you bring LGBT is too much for other people? Read

[@hat-eating-cthulu-goat3221]

Why do you think it's "too much"?

[@freyjasvansdottir9904]

When someone doesn’t fully feel they can identify with being either a woman or a man they are non-binary. It’s not a new invention, even if we are just now in the western world finding a name for it, it has been part of various cultures around the world for ages.

[@lmazibuko7099]

Too much? Are you for real??
