#also honourable mention to that time she slipped up and misgendered me from the opposite direction by defaulting to he/him pronouns instead

hands down the funniest character arc in my family is my mom going from being actively transphobic to being so chill about me not being a girl anymore that the other day when my brother called her while we were driving home from an event and he was like "I have your daughter in the car" her immediate response was "I have a daughter???"

genuine confusion, she had no idea what he was talking about, it took a solid 30 seconds before she figured it out and was like "OH, you mean you have a Rowan in the car?"

could not have planned it better, my brother was so caught off guard that he didn't misgender me for the rest of my visit (or at least not while I was within earshot) and my mom and I had a good laugh about it afterwards
