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.

I actually got closer to my parents since I stopped being a repressed dick head.

It's mostly business as usual. They supported me real hard during the tough times, and did a lot of their own research and asked questions on how best to go about things. My dad will fuck up pronouns from time to time, but it's more in a sense that he still calls his current dog by the old ones name if that makes sense.

Honestly, for my mom, I think the switching genders thing was easier for her to get used to than me becoming vegetarian lmao
