Congratulations on the new remote-friendly gig, AND the #transkid - safe new location!

@robotfactory Omg this is the best news. I'm thrilled and relieved both for you an your #TransKid. Get to a safer place...or even here to Canada if you have to. Bless the both of you! Skye sends her love

So our younger kid (well not young, they're 23) came out to us a couple of weeks ago. :trans_heart:

Told us their new name and pronouns and walked off. That's OK, we know they have trouble talking about things, we understand.

As a parent though, there is only one thing that is bugging me - how will they know when I am truly upset with them now? I don't know if they have a middle name any more!

Love My #TransKid :trans_heart: :trans_heart: :trans_heart:

@robotfactory FWIW. In my experience with at least one #transkid, I feel that the community in DC-area Montgomery county MD has been very supportive. All those little encounters with doctors, dentists, government offices, and especially schools have been near universally supportive. Not hard to find experienced support specialists/therapists either or to get needed care. I’d hope it would be like this everywhere. I guess, there are tons of opportunities for your kind of work as well.

@robotfactory @Modug As another mom of a #TransKid I feel your pain. We’re in WA now, but any future move to KS to save on living expenses is unlikely because if democrats ever lose the state house my #TransKid won’t be able to get his meds. I’m not down with that risk. I wish they’d just let us parent.

I'd never seen #TransKid on Mastodon until today - I don't roam the Fedi... I'm either going to filter out the tag or go on constant rants about transtrenders permanently fucking up their kids lives.

My belated intro toot:
My loves: awesome #TransKid, cool dude husband, #Nonagenarian immigrant mom. #MultigenerationalHousehold. #Pets are family, too.
My work: #Decolonize #NonProfit #ArtsAndCulture spaces. #MuseumsAreNotNeutral. #CulturalPlacekeeping & #HistoricalPreservation of and for #AsianAmerican & #NativeHawaiian & #PacificIslander folx. #AANHPI #History is #AmericanHistory. #NotAMonolith. Nor are #Black, #Indigenous, #Latinx, #POC #Friends & #Relatives. Still learning, often clumsily.
