Transgender man has kept
full story from his parents
DEAR ABBY: I’m a
transgender male who has
grown up in an area where
many people discourage
such things. They view
what I am as a sin and me
as a sinful, Satanic child.
My parents are against
anything different, includ
ing the LGBT community.
I have already gone
through top surgery, but
they don’t know about it.
What they do know is that
I am bisexual. How do I
tell them that I am male?
— SINFUL CHILD
DEAR “SINFUL”
CHILD: Why do you want
to make an announcement?
You know what will hap
pen the minute you do. If
you feel you must say
something, say that you
have discovered your true
self, which is male, and
that you are happier now
than you have ever been.
After you do that you
will be free. You can then
start building a family com
prised of people who are
understanding and accept
ing, which will be healthier
for you than the one you
were bom into.

DEAR ABBY: My
mother and I have been
estranged for many years
for multiple reasons. She
has bad-mouthed me in
emails to other relatives and
then denied having done it,
invited my ex-husband to
family birthday parties
knowing I wouldn’t show
up if he was there, and gone
months, sometimes years,
without speaking to me
over things she has per
ceived as slights.
I have tried many times
to walk away and let the sit
uation go, but I continue
being urged by other family
members to “be the bigger
person,” not give up and
“just keep trying.” I married
recently and invited her to
the wedding. She texted 48
hours beforehand to indi
cate she would not be there.
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
I’m wondering, is it OK to
stop trying now? I mean,
how much of this should
one person be forced to
take? — JUST ABOUT
DONE TRYING
DEAR JUST ABOUT
DONE: I see nothing to be
gained by continuing to tol
erate your mother’s passive
aggression. If you are ask
ing for my permission to
stop doing all the work in
the relationship, I am
pleased to give it to you
now.

DEAR ABBY: I have
socialized with a group of
women for the past 20
years. Our connection has
always been our children.
Now the children are
grown and gone, one
woman in our group keeps
trying to include spouses
each time we get together.
My husband works long
hours. He doesn’t enjoy
being with these men, and
he doesn’t want to go on
these outings. I have sym-
pathized with him
because I don’t like the
changes either. I’d prefer
these events stay girl-
friends-only. I have gone
solo a few times and
stayed away a few times.
But my friends are com
menting now, and I feel
stuck and uncomfortable.
Do you have any sugges
tions? — NO FAN IN
MINNESOTA
DEAR NO FAN: Yes, be
honest. Level with your
women friends and say
you prefer socializing with
them without the hus
bands. You are entitled to
your feelings, and you do
not have to elaborate fur
ther.
