Key-Expressions Discourse of Collective Subject
Non-acceptance Fights Rejection Sin Fear Revolt Alcohol and other drug use Distancing Break of bonds [...] the relationship has always been very difficult. My parents did not accept me and the conflicts due to being transgender were constant, making the situation unsustainable. The justifications for fights and rejection were strongly influenced by religion, as my parents saw transgenderism as something sinful and wrong. I even got beaten up by my father, and because of that, I started to feel fear and revolt and it was during this same period that I started drinking and also using drugs. When they found out about my position on transgenderism, they threw me out of the house. Due to the transphobia that also affected the environment in which I lived, I ended up moving away from the whole family and with that the affective bond was affected. (DCS)
