No I’m not giving her any of my estrogen (not that she knows I have it in the first place). She stopped me for months in my multiple attempts to get on it, so she can know how it feels for just a few days

Another example of how transphobia negatively impacts all of us and is just repackaged misogyny

my mom had to get a double mast due to breast cancer & was considering reconstruction. i was like, "oh, well why would you get surgery again just for aesthetics? isnt surgery risky?" and she was telling me it's different bc she'd been used to her breasts & it was traumatic to need them removed (true). i told her i was used to having a flat chest for my whole childhood, and growing breasts was traumatic. "that's different bc thats natural" well it didn't feel natural

funny how cis women aren't willing to try any other methods like injections or transdermal sprays.

anyways she hasnt ended up getting it, at least not yet. i love my mom and she is trying so i lowk feel guilty leaving this comment, but it's enough of a parallel i figured i'd share. relationships with a parent who's lowkey transphobic but not actually evil about it is very complicated emotionally
