My kid is trans, and I’m only going to warn you once:

— Things that matter and belong in my life: my son’s well-being, health, and happiness.

— Things that don’t matter and belong in my life: your judgment, bigotry, and unsolicited ignorant opinions.

Act accordingly.

No matter how long I’ve known you, no matter how we are connected:

Don’t try to make it a “you or him” choice.

There is no choice; you’re not even in the equation. 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍⚧️

“I just don’t understand the whole ‘being trans’ thing!”

NEITHER DO I BECAUSE I’M NOT TRANS

I don’t understand what it’s like being a cishet male (BECAUSE I’M NOT ONE), but somehow that never interfered with me loving one.

Being “trans” is the least exceptional thing about this amazing kid. He’s incredible him, period.

We shouldn’t have to celebrate his bravery for being who he is simply because most people are too cowardly to be themselves.

But that’s this world, so HELL YES I celebrate him.

(I’ll stop now. Rant prompted by a multi-day, 6am-10pm research project of finding every single trans-affirming therapist for him to choose from — and relying on trans friends/family and COINTELPRO level investigation to root out any and all possible TERFs and such.)

Protect trans kids — now and forever.

I never had “bio” kids, but I always said if I did: I hoped they would be queer or trans — because there aren’t enough parents to love them like they deserve.

So for you kids (who aren’t the one I lucked into), reminder: if you need parental / crazy aunt support…

I’m here.

Anyway, I’ll be back to dealing with political violence, ISIS, Neo Nazis, etc. full-time by next week.

But my priority this week is resource gathering for all adults in kid’s life who may be unfamiliar with trans issues.

Thanks for the patience, love, and support!
