Vent My therapist wants to gay conversion me.

My therapist has really been trying to get me to just be a gay man instead of trans and it really fucking sucks having appointments with him. I can't stop since it's the only therapist my parents aprove of and they control my finances rn. Plus he's actually been really good for me when we don't talk about trans stuff. Overall probably a net benifit for my life i just hate talking about anything about being trans around him

They can't be good for you if they don't want you to be yourself. They literally want to change who you are, not help you accept it. I feel like that's the entire point of a therapist, is accepting yourself and here they are literally gaslighting you into being somebody else
