title: Do you have abusive parents or loved ones?
x-toc-enable: true

TODO: write this section fully.

Where safe, you should resist any abuse or opposition you get, and do what you
need to do. If that means transitioning, then you should do it, if that's what
you want to do. *You* have the moral (and in some countries, legal) right to
live freely as yourself.

Trans rights are human rights!

See: <https://www.lifeadvancer.com/controlling-parents-deal-with-them>

This is a good guide on how to deal with abusive parents in general. This is
also useful for transgender people who depend on parents, ones who are
transphobic or otherwise attempt to control them (in other words, stop them
from living as a trans person).

This link may also be useful, even if you don't live with your parents. For
instance, you may have an abusive partner who acts in much the same way.

TODO: write about children too, for trans parents who are coming out.

TODO: write about abusive school administration / bullies, for kids who are
coming out in school.

TODO: write about older people who are employed, and dealing with abuse in the
workplace.

This page is a to-do. We recently had the idea for this page, as of 15 Sep 2017
