I've talked to them about this, but I've noticed that I can't seem to word things well in person. I have been trying to draft a letter for some time now. Suppose you have 10 pages max to convey information, and that there are not strong religious influences at play except in the extended family.
For maximum context, I am a 25 year old trans woman in a PhD program. My dad is an atheist professor who has had trans students. My mom is a nurse who lives in her rural hometown.
I will resolve to the answers I feel are most insightful, with a vaguely defined number of shares. I'll try to do that roughly by "how important is it" vs "how difficult is it to explain"
