She was never happy with the way I was, just with how she wanted me to be. She liked the idea of me, not me. She got weirded out at me for liking girls and being born one, she tried to get me to apologize to God, become His servant, and “convert” and keeps asking me to read the Bible and form a relationship with a being I don’t believe exists. She also she found out I was genderfluid. This was the last straw for me. She asked why my pronouns were “she AND he”. I said I’m genderfluid. She asked if God made a mistake with my gender, and then said no because God never makes mistakes and I should just be a straight Christian girl forever. Is this toxicity disguised as “love” or am I overreacting?

Or, if you’re feeling particularly snarky: “apparently, he does, as I’m speaking to one right now.”
