[quote=Anonymous]I have a trans son and a daughter who is currently dating a man but identifies as pansexual. They both pass as a straight man and woman at the moment, but DS always has to use a stall in the men’s room, and who knows how long DD will be with a man. No, I don’t encourage them to go to ultra conservative areas, and we don’t often visit our family in the rural, conservative south. I hope they don’t ever have to hide who they are or who they love, and it’s already uncomfortable watching them be so guarded when we visit those places.

Another worry I have for my daughter is if she finds herself living in a conservative and becoming pregnant. Even if she doesn’t have to deal with lgbt hate, she still has to deal with being a woman. Even if she doesn’t ever need an abortion, it’s becoming harder to get good medical care, especially OB-GYN care in places where abortion is highly restricted.

So yeah, I worry because we have family in red areas and we’d like to visit, but we’d also like to be welcome and safe. [/quote]
