My mom wants to gain custody over my child all because I came out as transgender

claiming that because I plan on medically transitioning I could never be a good parent to my daughter

and now I am just so furious over the things she said to me.

And at this point, I seriously don't know what to do.

Here's what happened.

So this is a somewhat long story, but to shorten it up, I've been questioning for about six to seven years now. I told my mother when I started

questioning my gender identity, which was when I was about 16 years old. I got the whole

oh it's just a phase speech and then I went about my life, but for the next six years I continued

questioning. Now I am a mother of a three-year-old and nearly 23 years old. I

finally figured it out and decided that I want to be male. For the past two

months I've been carefully planning out how I'm going to make this as smooth of a transition as possible when I eventually decide to medically transition.

I plan to get therapy for myself and my daughter when she's old enough to help her understand as well as have a talk with her

Since this will affect her just as much if not more than it will affect me and I completely understand that. I plan on doing weekly therapy

for a year if not to before doing the transition. Now I decided though that I shouldn't

have to tell my mother in hopes that I would even get a smidge of support even if it was as much as her saying I love you no matter what but no I don't get that

Instead she says to me if you're going through with it sign your rights of your child over to me and I immediately tell her

no she will not be getting my child after all the nightmare she put me through

she then began to give me this whole woe is me speech she tells me I choose not to date because I put you

guys first as if putting what has been causing me constant mental stress first isn't

also me putting my daughter first. Now of course I'm going to put my daughter first,

but my end goal is to become my best self

to improve my mental health.
