When Bey came out as trans to her dads, she hoped they would accept her for who she really is.

But the 22-year-old was shocked to discover that, despite both parents struggling to come out as gay when they were younger, they refused to accept her coming out as trans.

Now, she’s sharing her story in the hope her parents will see she’s serious about her transition.

‘I’m hurt,’ she explained, speaking to GSN.

‘I feel as though they should understand. I feel like they’ve gone through their struggle. They should be helping me through mine.’

One parent, who she calls Dad #1, initially refused to use her preferred name, Bey; instead, he called her by her birth name, saying she would ‘always be a man’.

‘This is very frustrating, especially in public,’ Bey said, venting her frustrations on tumblr.

‘Whenever I talk about breast implants he gets so angry, and tells me its a horrible idea.

‘He tells me when I get older I’ll look terrible because I’m doing all of these changes to my body i.e. hormones, breast implants.. etc. it does scare me when he says things like that.’

Her other parent, Dad #2, believes his ‘son’ is simply a man in drag, making a choice to use his clothes as an ultra-feminine outlet. ‘I wish we could have a better relationship, but I cannot be around this,’ she said.

‘They keep telling me I am a gay man.. No, I’m not! I am a straight woman.’

Despite her parents’ negativity, Bey is still fiercely loyal to her dads, refusing to reveal their identity to protect them from abuse.

‘I did not want to share my story at first because I was afraid to shine a negative light on gay parenting,’ she said.

‘Don’t get me wrong my parents are amazing but everything was not always sunshine and roses. We are just like any other family, drama and all.’

She hopes her family will take her more seriously once she has had breast implants, and is now raising money to fund her surgeries.
