Things my Transphobic mother says.
The amusingly ignorant things that come out of my mothers mouth. Including, but not limited to: Sexism, homophobia, transphobia, queerphobia, heterosexism, cisgenderism, genderist assumptions, and really any general forms of sexual and gender policing. With love from a FTM named Jonathan. Feel free to submit your own quotes!

So, I recently came out as a trans boy to my parents and the first she said was that I was always going to be girl a girl, and she doesn't want to take part in my transition. And that people were always going to just judge me badly. Is that true?

No, its not true, there are lots of misconceptions out there about trans people, but most of the time once the shock wears off and they actually learn something and chill out. Most people aren’t truly rotten

I volunteered with a summer program for disabled kids, and one of the kids was a FtM 15 year old. At one point, he and this one girl were bonding because they both had multiple psych diagnoses (ADHD, autism spectrum, etc). I commented on this happily to the other volunteers, because I thought it was a positive sign that these two were connecting. Their reply? “I hope she doesn’t get [other girl] trying to be a boy too.” (Other girl shows absolutely no sign of gender issues, although she’s a little bit tomboyish.)

THIS BLOG IS AMAZING! I'm scrolling through pages and pages, reading them all aloud to my wifeypants. I swear my mother's said at least 90% of what's here. Which sucks... but it's so comforting to see that I'm not the only one dealing with it.

The main thing my mother says when we argue is 'When I was your age, I wanted to marry Paul McCartney!'
