Lesbian woman receives a ‘femme kit’ for birthday, gives it back

A 22-year-old woman recently came out as a lesbian and started to embrace a more butch and masculine look. Her uncle gifted her a motorbike, which she loved, but her mother and aunt’s gifts were a “femme kit” that included high-end makeup, hair care products, lingerie, and spa treatments. She couldn’t fake being excited, and her mother got hurt. Now she’s struggling to come to terms with who she is and hates that she has to pretend to keep the peace with her family. Was she ungrateful and rude? Read her story on AITA subreddit and share your thoughts.

Lesbian woman receives ‘femme kit’ as birthday gift

Coming out as a lesbian is not easy, and it can be even harder when family members don’t understand or accept it. In this case, a woman’s uncle has been supportive and encouraging of her masculine interests, while her mother and aunt have not. When they bought her a ‘femme kit’ for her birthday, including expensive makeup, lingerie, and spa treatments, she couldn’t pretend to be excited about it. Despite thanking them for their generosity, she was much happier about the motorbike her uncle gifted her. This caused tension and hurt feelings, with the woman being called ungrateful and rude. It’s important for families to love and accept their children for who they are, rather than trying to change them. In the next section, let’s take a look at some reactions to this situation.
