parenting, lgbt, discrimination, minorities, socialization "ok but if letting your kid use a different name & different words & wear different clothing is scientifically likely to improve their health & happiness and lower their risk of suicide, whether or not they change their mind later... does it really matter whether you personally "get it"? does it even matter if you're comfortable with it? [...] its not your kid's job to be the child you wanted. its your job to make choices that allow them to be the happiest version of themselves [...] even if your kids arent trans it is still super shitty to grow up suspecting that your parent's love is conditional [...] no matter how your kid identifies, making unsupportive comments about queer people sends the message "if you were like this, i would love you less""
