Hi, I`m Anna (Conan is my preferred name). I live in AZ, and I`m Female to male trans. I`m somewhat out to my family (Mom, Nana, and little bro accept me), but my dad does not accept me. It took a long time. But I can finally wear boy clothes and have a binder. But I`ve been withdrawing from my dad, because he doesnt accept me. My dad has made comments saying I`m NOT LGBT, referred to me as IT instead of he/him/his, laughed when I`ve broke down crying, begging for him to accept me as his second son, and stared when I`ve had a dysphoria attack. He hasnt really helped me at all. He angrily groans when I even say LGBT or gender. I just dont want to be around him anymore (my parents are NOT divorced), but he has made me feel depressed a lot recently. I just feel pressured to say hi to him when he gets home from work in the evening. My parents do not accept my REAL preferred name (Conan) and I`m forced to go by Alex IRL. I told my counselor all this today, and she wants to talk to him, but I`m worried dad will lie to her.
I have considered running away and going to a hopefully LGBT friendly shelter several times, but due to an incident of me hitting my mom and she calling the police in november (was not arrested), she told the police about my history of trying to run away. I`m autistic (high functioning though), I`m 13.
I really would like to know ahead of time, if I ever choose to run (hopefully not soon or ever, but I will IF I NEED TO) if there`s any LGBT friendly shelters in AZ I can go to, I do not plan on running away right now, but I would really like to know in case I ever need/choose to.
Thank you.
