Frustrated because it’s my birthday weekend and in my mom’s birthday card to me she calls me son. I came out to her as genderfluid and she knows I’m looking into feminizing hormones. I just wish she would recognize the girlness in me.

I don’t doubt this is very common among trans people with left leaning parents. So many cis parents hear about the woes of trans people and are scared when their child comes out to them, sometimes just hoping they go back to being cis so they don’t face discrimination. They don’t associate it with joy. My mom in particular has tried very hard to encourage me to love my body through diet & exercise. Hearing I want to change my body (even if it’s just chemically) makes her think I hate my body.

My mom loves me and I love her, but she just doesn’t see being trans the same way I do. She sees it as something that dooms people to endless suffering, I see it as complete freedom to express and exist in the universe. I hope she gets to see that wondrous joy soon.
