Why would you want to filter out memes ? correct <| sep |> My grandmother has dementia , and my grandparents are both in their 70 ' s now . They have a very ' old ' way of thinking , they ' re not too accepting of things , they used to be very racist and homophobic but it ' s slowly gotten better over the years . My dad told them that I was trans in October 2015 , and my nan got diagnosed maybe 46 months after that . It ' s got to be the hardest thing I ' ve faced in my transition so far , honestly , I ' m not going to sugar coat it . She can ' t remember that I have a new name , she ' ll constantly call me my old name and the wrong pronouns and refer to me as ' girl ' or suggest that I should go into a stereotypical ' female ' career like nursing or cleaning . I ' ve only just gotten the balls to start correcting that side of the family when they misgender me , I don ' t see them very often but I ' m kind of forced by my dad to call my grandparents at least once a week . It ' s really hard to deal with . She has told my dad that she tries but she just can ' t remember , and she says it before she realises . She also acknowledges that my voice has dropped considerably , yet she still recognises it as the old me . These are just my personal experiences with it , my nan is still in the relatively early stages but it ' s definitely getting worse , quickly . My advice is , be prepared that your relative might not be able to remember that you ' ve transitioned , or remember your new name and pronouns . Be prepared that you might get misgendered a lot , especially if you ' re close to them . You have to be understanding of it , but it ' s definitely difficult . And the earlier you do it , the better chance you have that they remember . Good luck dude .
