If you’re a trans woman considering not transitioning because your kids will (as someone today lamented to me) “lose the dad they need,” consider instead that not transitioning is denying them the mom (or trans parent of any label) they deserve. #trans

@danirabbit they were lamenting it for themselves. Not that I had done it, but that they worried they’d do it to their own kids.

@rooster
By far, the best thing any parent can do for their kid(s) is to be their best selves. Kids are way more observant than you think, and way more adaptable than you'd expect. You REALLY don't want your kid growing up picking up on the vibe that you resent them for keeping you from being able to be yourself.clacke likes this.
