The religious upbringing and my mother’s disapproval has really drilled in the internalized transphobia deep and I hate myself for it. I can never love or accept myself because I always feel like I’m broken. It’s like everyone else is valid except me.

Important to note that not every religion disapproves of queer people and not every religious person even in those religions are homophobic/transphobic. I still believe God will love me regardless but because my mother and her mother before her see it as bad, I fear disappointing them. I already have.

You haven’t disappointed them, they have disappointed themselves by forcing their cispectations onto you. You have done nothing wrong, no matter what they try to say. You are worthy of love, and it will come, even if not by the one’s you’d hoped for.
