[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about the transmen mad about mother’s day? that’s my personal favorite. [/quote]

I'm married to a transman who gave birth to our child before transitioning. Mother's Day for him is mostly marked by worse than usual gender dysphoria and depersonalization. It's one of the worst days of the year for him, but we have to get through it. We make our calls to grandma and count it a success if we can leave the house without anyone wishing him a happy Mother's Day. I'm glad for anyone for whom Mother's Day is a joyous holiday and, we do celebrate with extended family, but it's a genuinely hard day in my house. Just a reminder that you're "personal favorite" to roll your eyes about is grounded in the actual suffering of real people.  [/quote]

I don’t understand this at all. So he was born a woman which gave him the possibility to have his own child. And now that makes him sad and suffer? And if people acknowledge he’s a parent he suffers?? [/quote]
