My mom, recounting a story about her coworkers: I mean I'm still going to call you my daughter in public, you know? That's just how they know you.

My dad, introducing me to his theatre friend: This is my oldest son! And my youngest daughter is just over there...
#just the dichotomy between them#and how my mom proclaims herself as this huge ally but doesn't even try when it actually comes down to it#while my dad was raised conservative in the south and still has turned around and is VOCALLY supportive of both of us#i mean there's something about this 6'3" lumberjack looking guy just loudly going 'THIS IS MY SON!' that's so gender affirming#and it's not a one time thing either. like he actively does switch pronouns for me and isn't afraid to use masc terms for me#while my mom still uses 80% she/feminine terms and maybe 20% they/neutral terms
