Trans people with accepting parents: How did your relationship change? (lemmy.nerdcore.social)

Hello there. Angry parents stories are sadly more common, but I remember reading back on Reddit a heartwarming story about a dad who accepted fully his daughter. So while we all know how "bad" relationships usually go, I'm curious to hear about people who had love and support in their journeys.

Not exactly out to my parents, but overall I'd say they're fairly accepting? One mom is fairly eggy and repeats some right-wing talking points sometimes, but she'll go out of her way to give compliments when presenting in ways that don't conform to AGAB-expectations. The other mom (stepmom), I have no complaints. But since I'm not out, the only changes is things like stepmom asked if I identify as a woman. Amab NB, so I said "no", but I appreciate that they tried.
