He's trying his best to understand he's just never dealt with this before
fading cedar
I'm glad you're doing better good luck at the doctor ❤️
pure oxide
I don't care
dark patio
I know it’s not necessarily as easy as that but we got your back
pure oxide
This isn't understanding
This is the SECOND TIME he's told you how you feel
And how you're supposed to be and what to think, when it was a huge issue the first time
And it's becoming a pattern.
rose ice
He isn't like this for other things
pure oxide
And my fear is that it turns into abuse and gaslighting, which it's bordering on already anyway
That literally doesn't matter
This is a literal part of who you are, your identity, how you see yourself, and being at peace with yourself
I don't care if he isn't like this about things that he doesn't have to worry about, or things that are mundane
But the fact that he's like this for something that means so much to you, even after you told him that it meant that much to you and what happened last time
rose ice
He's just having trouble understanding I think, he wants me to work out and try and be more confident in myself and like my chest the way it is, says I'm flat enough with the sports bras I wear
pure oxide
...........
It's NOT HIS BODY
IT IS NOT HIS BODY AND IT IS NOT HIS LIFE AND IT IS NOT HIM
rugged glade
He's misunderstanding the idea of confidence and identity.
pure oxide
Correct
hidden inlet
If that's all, he wouldn't have brought up your age as a reason for why you need to rethink this.
dark patio
It isn’t. And okay, wanting you to be confident in yourself is, yeah, alright. But he doesn’t get to decide WHAT would make you confident
pure oxide
Oooh, there's a reason I renamed myself Mod-ma Bear, these claws are coming out
This is the conversation I had with my dad when he tried to forbid my sister from shaving her head.
rugged glade
You don't have to learn to love your body. You do what you want with your body, even if that means wearing a binder.
rose ice
I'm married to him, what I do reflects on him
pure oxide
And if he doesn't like who you are or isn't proud of you when you're being your authentic self
hidden inlet
You support each other, not just you him.
pure oxide
I'm just... there are alarm bells ringing in my head
fading cedar
He's just having trouble understanding I think, he wants me to work out and try ...
This is actually a "Friendly" way of manipulating someone. Telling them they are "better than that" or "you just need to work out to feel better" or making it seem like they care about you while at the same time completely dissing the very core of you.
hidden inlet
I know. It's scary and messy. It's just...
dark patio
There are some red flags here but trust me I get that when you’re in this situation, a lot of this is easier said than done. Just... we care. No matter what, you have people in your corner that care.
rugged glade
It can surely be difficult without having a safety net or a support system in your life, but your identity is important.
proper knot
Is there a challenge of cultural difference, just so we not stepping on those toes?
Don't get me wrong, man, woman and non binary should always be on the same footing in a relationship, but just wanting to check before I want to put claws out also
hidden inlet
I survived an abusive relationship with someone who said the exact same things to me to keep me under control and limit me because he was scared.
The exact same things. Only about my autism.
It's okay if it's scary.
It's okay if you don't want to argue right now.
But just be aware.
rose ice
Ik, he was in a lot of abusive relationships before, especially his ex wife, maybe he picked up some behaviors he doesn't realize
pure oxide
My mom instincts are strong, and I dealt with a lot of people trying to suppress who I am in all of my relationships... parents, friends, partners. I had a super abusive ex. So like, I won't lie and say it's not triggering to hear the things he's saying to you. And I know I come off strong, but I care about you.

We are Obana, all of us in this chat

You're your own person. The second you stepped into a marriage was the second he accepted you as you are. If he did, anyway.

His past experiences are an explanation, not an excuse.
dark patio
I had a girlfriend who, despite my being open with her about who I was, insisted on treating me like a cis woman and making repeated comments about how awful straight relationships would be and what would anyone want to be in a straight relationship. It’s a different situation, but it’s similar. I get some of where you are right now.
hidden inlet
Ik, he was in a lot of abusive relationships before, especially his ex wife, may...
That's how my ex was too. I understand the abuse cycle is a thing. But some people use that as an excuse too.

Hide behind it like a shield while doing the things to others they had done upon them because it made them feel they were overcoming their own pain.

Look, you don't have to do anything. You don't need to confront him. But please, don't feel like you owe him a part of your identity.
rugged glade
As important as your identity is, your safety is also important.
Your safety, your mental health...
next stump
If he doesnt accept you for who you are is it worth being in a relationship with?
Emotional abuse is just as bad as physical
hidden inlet
I'm not going to tell you to leave, or that he doesn't love you, because honestly, he probably does. But that does not negate what he said.
proper knot
I just read this chat, and although I am trained somewhat in mental health counseling, you guys are doing well enough without me, I love this community
hidden inlet
You can accidentally gaslight people.
It's very possible that's what's happening here.
next stump
Im not saying leave him but dont change yourself for no one you will be miserable for it
hidden inlet
But if this is a pattern, this doesn't seem accidental anymore.
And besides accidental or not, if it's not healthy for you and this is me getting real for a second...
...you seem in a physically safe environment, so you have the time to become independent, do what you need to do to get there, and when you do, drop all baggage, even if that includes him still.
rugged glade
He may even have good intentions. It's possible. But you're coming here with pain and tears. You deserve to feel happiness and love.
Good intentions mean nothing if the outcome is all pain.
hidden inlet
For every partner who loves you but accidentally projects their trauma onto you, there's someone who will love you, but, like... doesn't do that.
rugged glade
Yes!
hidden inlet
...I hope it doesn't feel like we're pressuring you. I assure you, that's none of our intentions.
If it does, feel free to tell. I'll lay off then.
rugged glade
Ultimately, Digi, it's your choice. We are here to support you and point out what options exist, or offer advice. But you know yourself best. You know your situation best. I hope that you can find a solution that works for you. A solution that brings you comfort and happiness.
rose ice
Hey sorry doctor is here I'll read all this when I'm done
hidden inlet
Sure. Take your time.
rose ice
sigh we talked some more, he kept calling me a beautiful woman and he thinks it's just cause I'm depressed and on my period and lack confidence etc..
rose ice
He said he's worried I'm gonna get a sex change even after I explained what non-binary was and that I dont feel like a male
rugged glade
He seems afraid and confused. There's a barrier to his ability to understand you.
rose ice
Yeah Ik I just dont know how I can explain any further
He at least made the compromise I can get one as long as I dont wear it every day
rugged glade
How do you feel about the amount of control he has over you? Is that something you want?
rose ice
It's a compromise at least, I'm not gonna push it any further right now
rose ice
Dysphoria is really bad now though after he kept on saying I'm a beautiful woman over and over again
My own fault for not correcting him but I couldn't think of a substitute for it in the moment
humble tusk
I like the term lovely person personally 
rugged glade
It isn't your fault. You did everything to explain your gender to him already.
rose ice
Thank you

digi, you're a lovely person and you deserve to feel comfortable as yourself. I wish you the best in dealing with your situation and I wish I could offer more but have a virtual hug (if you want it)

rose ice
I'm hoping he just needs time to accept it etc.
ebon edge
I'm hoping he just needs time to accept it etc.
I've also been readings though this conversation and I'd like to add one thing. If it's possible maybe finding an academic book or paper (even an academic video might help) on the subject for him to read and take notes on may help him understand things better.
However, he may just need time to process these things considering the background he may have grown up in. I do wish you the best and hope that he comes around sometime soon though!
fallow whale
Hi
rose ice
I think he understands it to an extent he just said I'm too young to decide that right now, if I'm still feeling that way when I'm 28 he'll accept it then
dark patio
how old are you now?
rose ice
21
dark patio
so he wants you to wait 7 years before he'll accept it?
rose ice
Apparently so
idle bane
that's ridiculous
rose ice
He just thinks I'm insecure in myself and dont need to put labels on me etc.
dark patio
I'm sorry. That's not for him to decide. It's not like you're rushing into any surgery, you just want to change how you present, which? if you figure out in a year that you weren't nb? (not saying you will, just a hypothetical) having dressed in a way that makes you happy for a year won't hurt anyone
if you're insecure, shouldn't you be able to dress in a way that makes you more comfortable?
rose ice
I know, he thinks instead I should get proper bras and then I'd like my chest which no that's the exact opposite of what I want to wear
idle bane
in the most generous reading of this situation, he's being an idiot
dark patio
You've had, what? a decade or so of likely wearing proper bras to decide if you like them or not?
idle bane
so you've basically been binding for 4 years
idle bane
ye i get that
i remember the first time i realized i could get away with wearing sports bras all the time
i was actually introduced to the double sports bra idea when i was playing a boy in a play in high school
though it took 4 more years to realize i was nb
dark patio
so by his own logic, you know that this is what you like to do already.
rose ice
I hate bras so much, they dig into my ribs and I feel like I'm sticking out hhh
And lately lots of dysphoria
brazen willow
21
ok digi im my opinion waiting 7 fucking years for him to accept you when youre already an adult who can drink, vote, and serve in the military (at least by my countries standards in my opinion you already know who you are and well small things might change i feel like hes just trying to delay that, 7 is on average like a bit more then a 10th of a human life for reference and if youre 21 youve already gone though i must note rounding down 3/10s which again is a lot
it sounds like it might not be the healthiest relationship for you
supple brook
I obviously don't know you but I have to say I agree with cherry. You are not his child. If you're old enough to get married to him you're old enough to decide over your down damn body.
sage trench
^ 100% agree with both of them
solid quartz
OOOohhhh Digi is Kats from earlier, I didn't realize cause both the name and picture changed. Listen I get where you're coming from Digi, it's a very complex situation. Both of you were raised in a kinda bigoted environment and deconstructing all that misguided stuff takes a lot of time to understand. And that's something you understand since it took you a while to start coming to terms with this identity. I never advocated for how rushed this got and I hope you don't feel put down by everyone saying "you need to leave him" in the same way he's telling you "you can't wear a binder everyday"(which honestly reading this angers me a little cause it)
's like "I'm older I know better"

I'm obviously not saying you need to break up with him right now. I just want you to be careful. Relationships with age gaps this big can become really ugly really quickly. Especially when he starts weaponizing his own life experience against you and you're financially dependant on him.
solid quartz
OOOohhhh Digi is Kats from earlier, I didn't realize cause both the name and pic...
But right back to what I was saying here, it's clear he loves you. You made that clear. And I think your right, he probably needs time. He communicated that he feels it will take 7 years. But I think he'll cave before that. It's unfortunate that he has all those trust issues from the other relationships, cause that's probably making him lash into seeking more control over you(and the situation) in a time where he's being forced into a lot of change. And I think you have sympathy since you had a long journey getting here BUT LET ME TELL YOU something I was told about parents, PEOPLE 👏 CAN 👏 TRY 👏 TO 👏 DO 👏 THE 👏 BEST👏 FOR 👏 YOU👏 AND👏 STILL 👏 HAVE👏 CAUSED👏 YOU👏 HARM. @rose ice

I think if you haven't already talked about your journey with double sports bras for four years, it might be worth telling but figure out how you want to tell it. And yeah there is a whole misunderstanding of not feeling female = feeling male. But I mean humans struggled with the concept of zero for a loooooong time. My ex once said about their mood that they feel numb to the concepts people were assigning to them. And that they felt uncomfortable that people were assigning the labels of these concepts to them when it was a lack of them all. While I don't care what people label me in my Agender, maybe that's not what you feel. And maybe the first hurdle is to get him to understand the idea of feeling zero percent female and zero percent male. He is kinda treating you like a parent treats getting a tattoo, (if you still want to get it in a year then you can get it) but he is taking it to an extreme by asking for 7 years. It seems to hurt you on some level though. And you voiced how you didn't know how to say some of the things you want to say. Maybe you can practice with us, or we can advise on some wording. Sorry you have to deal with these patterns of hurt while he still needs to learn about things @rose ice
fickle flint
Yeah. All of these must be a new experience for him too. While his "7 years due" is weirdly specific, I think he just needs time you know. From what I see, you've been giving out a lot of new things to him in a short amount of time. I think he needs time to process it all put first before you start telling him about other stuff you never told him before. Everything is a progress, don't rush it.
You can't really expect people from bigoted environment to immediately accept you since the mindset is already deeply ingrained in their brain. The more you push him to accept in a short period of time, the more abrasive he become.
Iirc you told him not too long ago you were still not over your bestfriend. Then not long after you told him you are poly and enbi. I think everything is coming to him a little too fast?
He believed in the bigoted mind for years after all, it takes time but if he's truly a good person, he will surely accept you with time
faint jacinth
He sounds like he's proyecting (sp?) on you. I don't know what else i can add to what all of this amazing people have told you yet, but you deserve to be treated with respect and love for who you are and not what he wants you to be.
hidden inlet
@rose ice I would like to apologize if I made you feel pressured or put on the spot. From what you've said, it's obvious you love each other and, honestly, you know your relationship better than anyone else.

For lgbtq+? Depends, really. We've got equal marriage and adoption laws that are good. But laws regarding transitioning for transgendered people could definitely be better and the process a lot smoother. Not to mention laws concerning non-binary people are pretty much non-existant.
Lot's of change has been going on though. So fingers crossed, maybe things will get fixed soon!

Specifically the gays, too, not even the trans people? I'd think gays would want all the characters to be bears and twinks or something.

I love that the gays took over this chat as their own general chat instead of being in the general chats. Like. I don't mind it, and it was kinda the purpose of the chat was to have a more inclusive space, especially to talk about lgbtq issues... But also... I dunno. It's just funny to me.

This is the general chat what do you mean

Thank you all for what you said. Yes me and my husband love each other lots and lots, we're the type of people that believe communication is key (why I told him) and that we need to work things out and get marriage counseling before even considering divorce. He's loved and supported me for a year now and I think he's just genuinely having a hard time understanding it. He doesn't know anyone who's enby so it's a first time experience for him. But I know he loves me and he's said so and apologized etc. But yes this is Kats, I changed my name to Digi atm though

Yay I look flat today with this shirt and double sports bra
main hamlet
Woo!! Be careful with keeping them on for a long time!
(A psa from your local asthmatic XD)
rose ice
Ik, they aren't too tight, no where near as tight as a binder would be, but the combination of them and this shirt helps a lot
main hamlet
Baggy clothes are the trademark of trans folks of every caliber 🤣
rose ice
Baggy clothes rule
chrome cedar
Meanwhile, I kinda have to wear form fitting clothes because baggy stuff has a tendency to make me feel uncomfortable
main hamlet
I relate, but only with pants/skirts.
If anything is flipping or flopping near my ankles or on my legs I simply perish.
chrome cedar
I love hoodies and pullovers but they still have to be feminine in cut and fit, else I just... nope out
rose ice
Yeah I'm the opposite, the baggier the better xD
chrome cedar
And that's 100% fair and valid 
rose ice
You are also valid <3

I had this phase in my life where, despite being a cis woman, I had this sense of "I wish I was female" which... is so weird because I am? And was back then? 😂 I also used to have really short hair and I just can't wear it anymore
rose ice
I love when I have short hair, I've got medium length hair rn though cause I want to dye it etc.
I do love long hair tho, just not the taking care of it part
chrome cedar
Yeah, very much the same xD I prefer between chin and shoulder length
Long hair is too stressful, but the short hair is just not my thing
I love it on other people but not on myself
pure oxide
I'm too fat to have short hair, and I like long hair, but I don't like feeling it on my neck, so I wear my hair in a messy bun or pony tail all the time anyway, so I keep thinking of shaving my head, but then like, my husband doesn't want me to and also growing out my undercut sucked?
chrome cedar
oh god yes. I had an undercut for a while and that's horrible to grow out
rose ice
Ooh yeah when I had long hair it was up in a messy bun all of the time
Never done an undercut before but I've had it really really short and that's a pain to grow out too haha
main hamlet
I am always one to encourage a full shave.
I can't have long hair. Anything touching my ears or neck makes me unable to function

I love french braids 
I give myself french braids all the time
rose ice
I cannot French braid to save my life
main hamlet
I can do two kinds of braids, neither very well.
chrome cedar
I taught myself to make them, as well as fishbraids, dutch braids, various styles of buns, and 50 style hairdos
timid bane
I can french braid but not on my own head
shrewd wasp
my hair's down to my bum, if I didn't know how to braid them I'd die xD
I can do a 4 branch style of french braid that I love
ends up looking a bit like a celtic braid
chrome cedar
4 branch I couldn't manage on myself, but also my hair is not long enough for it
but I adore 4 branch braids
shrewd wasp
they're sooo pretty !
chrome cedar
Yesss! Because my hair only ever goes to shoulders and slightly longer, I usually only manage 2 or 3 rounds of braiding after finishing off the part on my head
shrewd wasp
that's handy for more retro hair styles though
idk if you've ever tried making a victory roll with nearly 3ft long hair, but I have

The victory roll talk just reminded me of how I attempted to do hazels hairstyle with my shitty undercut and. Never again. Never ever again
I have so much respect for people who can do hair and wigs because genuinely hair of any kind is my mortal enemy ahfksg I never style my own hair either
If I had the money to commission all my wigs I would

Oh no. 😦
