Not sure if this is “you think you’re uglier than you are so you think you must be a boy but *I* think you’re pretty” or just “trans people aren’t real so it must just be a lack of self-confidence”. Kind of hoping it’s the first one because that’s misguided but at least he thinks he’s being supportive.
oof. I had a boyfriend who reacted this way when I tried to come out. Delayed it by a GOOD few months because I went back into denial.
It’s a rough one for sure, my condolences on having lived through it.
