I don’t care where you started out on the political spectrum. If your kid comes out as trans & you don’t become a rainbow-clad, parade-cheering ally & rock-solid supportive girl/boy/enby dad/mom? You were never a parent at all. You were a doll collector furious they didn’t stay in their packaging. If you can go every level of ham to support their travel hockey league, whether you like hockey or not, you can do it to support their deepest hearts & souls. For fuck’s sake.

    @Catvalente@wandering.shop Genuinely loving that there's been only one transphobic comment on this thread so far. Although I can always use the exercise for my block finger (buh-bye, whoever you were), it's genuinely nice to see so many supportive comments. Speaking as a trans woman whose parents have been supportive, even though it's been hard at times. 😁

  • @Catvalente@wandering.shop Damn fucking straight. I was traveling with all my pride pins on my bag and my rainbow clad converse shoes and a woman in Florida said I must be the "gayest grandma ever" and I just wondered how she knew about my enby kid's cat.

  • @Catvalente@wandering.shop Seriously! I've known two fellas (one a libertarian, the other a conservative-leaning republican) who both became rainbow-clad, parade-cheering allies when their kids came out as trans. One of those kids ended up becoming a famous actress ( #NicoleMaines ).

    @Catvalente@wandering.shop I was astonished to find out how much of parenting was just providing basic material support and otherwise staying out of their way, and occasionally intervening to stop other adults from interfering with them. Kids' lives are their own.
