transmasc 🤝 transfem solidarity is so fucking beautiful y’all

#so i watched that talk show w/ trans guests with my mom #went well !! there’s still some things that are confusing to her and she’s still a bit shook about y’know. Me. #but otherwise it was cool it was super well made actually like the show host was so respectful #and they interviewed france’s first openly trans mayor #and a younger trans guy whose mom wrote a book about how she learned to support her kid #the mom was also there and damn she was Educated lmao she used words like misgendering and deadname #which… isn’t that impressive ig but coming from a prev generation cis person who used to know Nothing it’s neat #so yeah i also told mom about like… another book i’d heard about #a comic w/ a mom who learns her ‘daughter’ is actually her son and how it’s hard for her at first #y’know stuff i’d have rolled my eyes at before lmao #but i guess it is helpful for people like my mom who need guidance on how to handle all that #and how to reach a point where you’re happy and ready to fully support your kid #like where it no longer requires effort or ‘discomfort’ to like… call your kid the right name or sthg #mom has still been calling me by my deadname but she said that like #she didn’t mean to it’s just well she’s been calling me that for 24 years y’know #so the habit’s hard to get rid of but like she catches on to the fact that she used the wrong name #she’s aware she makes the mistake and she’s working on fixing it #baby steps baby steps. i’m patient with her rn because i know it’s a lot for her #but god DAMN does it feel good to have all that out there and know things are going forward
