It implies that the person did this on purpose just to hurt the parent. It also implies that the pain they will go through (the parent) will be worse than the trans person’s pain which invalidates them. This response can also make the person feel incredibly guilty.

The way i came out to my mom was asking her “how would you feel if i changed my name?”
And she said “well, what did you have in mind? You wouldnt have asked if you didnt have a name picked”
I told her my chosen name and she thought it was the coolest name ever and has supported me ever since.
(Shes a nurse who wants to work with other trans people in gender affirmation care because she thinks the whole thing is so cool.)
I wish everyone that kind of love and support. Stay safe everyone.

UPDATE: my mom is an LVN and is in a nursing program to get her BSN. Im very proud. Every essay shes written for school so far has been about “The Gay Community” (im working with her on the vocab, but she’s got the right spirit). Its adorable. Shes just so passionate about Queer health and health disparities. And every essay she writes she calls me up to help edit and shes just so floored about the inequities she learns about.
She even recruited all of her professors to help get information about my upcoming surgery. She’s asking them ALL the questions on female reproductive systems and hysterectomies and what to do and all that.
I wish everyone someday has a mom in their life, blood related or otherwise, that will pester their professors for hours at a time in attempts to better understand what their child is going through.
May love find each and every one of you.
(And if you dont currently have a mom you feel safe coming out too, my mom has said she is adopting all y’all. Congrats. She is your mom now. I hope you like pugs, viking shows, and chaos gardening)

I am not trans, but even before i came out as gay my mom and dad had said that would be okay with anything, and that felt so safe. I am still so grateful

My brother is trans. The funny thing about his story I absolutely love. For the basically the entire pregnancy, the ultrasound tech and doctor kept telling my mom she was having a boy, a boy, a boy. So day of delivery, the nurse goes: so what are you gonna name your girl?! My mom goes: "seth, what are you talking about??"
Turns out the tech and doctor were wrong. But, now that hes trans, we joke the doctors were right all along 😂

If god wanted me to be an adult WHY WASN’T I BORN AN ADULT?!

[christinalittleton]

I'm not really sure how my mom would react (due to her not being here anymore), but when I came out to her framed picture, I had good dreams that night.

GOD. DOESN’T. MAKE. MISTAKES which is why you should be loved and accepted no matter what. Many people’s goal is to be like Christ and he loves unconditionally so why shouldn’t we? 🏳️‍🌈❤️

[eatme]

it’s almost like when parents say they love their children unconditionally, the child expects that they’ll be loved no matter who they are. if you’re going to hate your kid for being something other than what you have pictured in your mind, congrats, you love the child as an extension of yourself. NOT the person they are.

[stephlynn]

As a parent, I can't even fathom responding in this way. Whenever your kid speaks to you about anything the first response is always love, acceptance and a promise that you'll always be in their corner. Regardless of the subject! If your parents didn't respond this way for you please hear this from me. 'You are loved and accepted and you always fit with us, our love for you is constant, it has no limit. I'm so glad you shared this with me, I'm so fucking proud that you're my kid!'

She really said no Taylor Swift, I’m not the problem, it’s not me.

But what if god wanted him to be trans, think about it. Either way if my future kids came out to me as LGBTQ then I would accept them because they trusted me enough to tell me that they wanted to be different.

When I first came out, one of my first real conversations with my mom about it was in a meeting between my school counselor, my mom, and myself. She made it clear my transitioning was going to heavily affect her and how she felt so emotional about it, almost as if she hadn't shut me down when I had a breakdown over my family, who I had been out to for a month, kept misgendering me over the explanation of "It's going to be hard for your newborn brother".

It's been five years, and even though my mom is now supportive of me and has been, I always remember how she hurt me over how she helped. We remember how people have pained us over everything because it's a lot of our experiences. Parents seem to not think about how we hurt when they feel entitled to who we are as people.

[fjfigurkkfjfktjgk]

Why even be a parent if your only gonna have a “me! me! me!” mentality?

[RaresG-huht]

tbh, call my a 10 year old but say, womp to the fucking womp

[Its.ur.gurl.emmy.]

If my future kid told me they were trans I would say
“Get in the car. We are shopping right now for new stuff for you. And me”

[nightwolfgamer]

If I decide to have kids in the future, I'll love and accept them no matter what.

As a Christian that’s Bi, god doesn’t make mistakes and he made you that way for a reason. Even if you’re parents don’t see

[KOKICHI_IS_ALIVE]

If i was trans my mom would be like:ok" and not upset

[catcreature]

I hate when parents act like that it's not right and it's fucked up your mom said how much it hurts her but she doesn't even think how much it hurts you for how she was reacting
