I'm closet LGBTQ, but still living with my strict Asian parents since the 2025 job market sucks. At dinner tonight they were guilt tripping me for having to live with them rather than going out into the world and stuff, and were begging me to put the phone away at dinner, clean the toilet every week etc.

I reminded them I was a legal adult and I wasn't willingly living with them anymore. They kept pushing back, defensively justifying their control of me. Rn they even have access to my wardrobe and hairstyle preferences, which is why I haven't started any sort of HRT, and don't even visually pass or socially transition.

Realizing this, I asked them a hypothetical: "mom what if I dyed my hair red? I don't want to, but WHAT IF?"

Mom retorted that if I did, she wouldn't stop me if I paid for it myself, but she'd criticize it in my face, also mentioning HR would have a fit over it when I interviewed for jobs.

I then asked her what she'd do if SHE were HR and was interviewing equally qualified candidates but one had dreadlocks / wore a hijab / were LGBT. And she straight-up said she'd hire the other candidate because they'd be "cleaner", also saying "Asians just ARE more qualified" etc. I.e. mom straight up admitted to SUPPORTING HIRING DISCRIMINATION. So did my dad too when he joined in.

Finally it escalated so badly my mom told me to go to hell and called me a loser.

I admit I might've been a bit of an ass when refusing to clean the toilet, but I just think my parents' reaction went a bit far. I'd never tell my parents to go to hell.

Your mom is right. Regardless of whether people *should* discriminate, they do it even subconsciously, and it'd be stupid to make yourself look less hireable. Also, if you can't even afford to live away from home, you don't need to be worrying about HRT. Go get a job if you want to waste money on transitioning.

your parents are describing how the actual world works. 4chan melts your brain into thinking weird genders and racial presentations get you jobs before everyone else, but that's totally delusional

You are fucking retarded stop posting your stupid whiny gay lbtq mental ill retardation manchild crap and cut your yellow fingers off you disgrace

Your parents are retarded (le WeChat addled retarded Asian Christian group ones huffing the Asian parent circles retardation)
But you are even more retarded

Delete all your disgusting frogs too not a single one is worth downloading

>guilt tripping me for having to live with them rather than going out into the world
As they should, know your place fag manchild

>begging me to put the phone away at dinner
Again, as they should, retarded braindead zombie tiktok addled Zoomer scroller

>clean the toilet every week
Sounds about right if you're living in their house

>I was a legal adult and I wasn't willingly living with them anymore
Not "willingly" living with them? "Willingly"? Go willingly live in a dumpster then you straw grasper. If you're not "willingly" living with them then why don't you go "willingly" live somewhere else? That's right, cuz you have no options, so you might as well "willingly" live in your mom's basement then, ungrateful retard

>which is why I haven't started any sort of HRT, and don't even visually pass or socially transition.
Holy fucking degeneracy, you really do need to be kept on a leash before you go become some freak Frankenstein disgusting mess
And transitioning ain't gonna make you any less uglier you fucking yellow gook peasant phenotype ass

>she wouldn't stop me if I paid for it myself, but she'd criticize it in my face, also mentioning HR would have a fit over it when I interviewed for jobs.
So again, as billions have said in previous threads, make your own fucking money and move out, quit whinging and go do the obvious fucking solution is obvious

>Finally it escalated so badly my mom told me to go to hell and called me a loser.
You are a fucking loser

The "actual world" has brought me nothing but endless pain, misery, and betrayal. Things could've gone so well if I could just be my own person rather than a fucking marionette.

Live on their charity, play by their rules. Or at least don't go out of your way to insult them.

And clean the toilet.

A key question here is: are you paying rent at market value?

If you are then your parents are simply your landlords, and they have no more rights in this situation than any other landlord: they should be leaving you alone except when it comes to collecting rent. How you choose to live your life is your affair.

However, if you are living in their house for free, or at a highly reduced rent level, then it's *their* house, and they are graciously allowing you to live in it when they are under no obligation to. And if that's the case then (within what's legal!) they can make any rules they like about what happens in their own home, and your only options are to respect those rules or to leave. You always have the option to leave; if you choose to stay then understand that you owe them, not the other way round.

You're a manbaby and the world is going to eat you alive if you don't listen to your parents.

Put your fucking phone down at the dinner table and talk like a human. Clean your shit stains out of the toilet. Wash your disgusting cum-crusted underwear. Listen to your parents tell you how the real world works.

Why are you telling your parents you're an adult when you act like a toddler? Act like an adult and people will treat you like an adult. Wash your ass and get a job, then they will treat you like an adult.

Serious: if I need to escape home for a night or two what to do? Sleep in the car? Is that legal?
