I’m watching this show & there’s an older transfem nonbinary character that’s dating a dad of a 13 y/o nonbinary kid, and I’m on the episode where the kid meets the partner for the first time. and the kid is on my nerves with the typical Kid Hates Dads New Partner shtick. And like I get it when kids have a hard time with parents dating. but because of my own experience with queerness and unaccepting family I’m Annoyed cause iTS GIVING PRIVILEGE!!! Like oh my god if I was in that position I’d be so fucking excited!!! This awesome older queer nonbinary person starting to come into the family, wanting to get close & bringing more older queer people around too!!! That’s so fucking cool!! like God I Wish That Were Me!!!!

#The kid acknowledged the privilege vibes & seem nice enough but I was just SHOOK that this kid wasn’t happy to have a queer adult around lol #And tbh it felt just a lil unrealistic cause I’m an out queer young adult that sometimes works with kids #And the trans kids always give the vibe that they’re quite happy to have a queer trans person as one of the People In Charge #& they give that vibe no matter how supportive their families and environments are #Like even when they’re in privileged situations w/ great families they still feel a kinship with the queer community & look up to Elder Gay #Not that I’m an Elder Gay. But for a lot of them I’m probably one of the only trans people they know that’s considerably older than them #I mean I personally don’t know trans people that are much older than me (& by “know” I mean “see somewhat regularly”)#The older queer people I know are LGB. But no Ts in anywhere I’ve worked or been a student of or anything #I know a lesbian director & her wife that sometimes co-directs. An older gay man that assists in the theatre dept. at college #My best friend’s mom that started identifying as pansexual after being the best Ally Mom to her daughter & all us “adopted” kids #And of that family there’s some family friends with lesbian parents #But no older trans people in my life #So I just think that would be so fucking cool to have an older trans person and their queer friends brought into my life #Lol anyways it’s not that deep but when the kid character was acting like that I just kept going “ITS GIVING PRIVILEGE!!!!” lmaoo #just cause I’m lowkey jealous & wish I had anything like that growing up lol
