Back To the Main SiteRecommendation: Accepting Dad
A little while ago I was recommended a blog called “Accepting Dad“, and I have since then been watching it to see why it was recommended to me. I have to say that even though I don’t agree with all of his theories, and ideas, I’ve been super impressed by the authors honesty, integrity, and genuine desire to do the best he can by his kid.
So I’m recommending to all of you as well, take a look at this blog. If you are the parent of a queer or trans kid, follow it, find strength and community in it. Every kid deserves a parent who’s willing to try this hard.
Here’s a quote to whet your appetite:
At first, they’re so young, so innocent, it’s hard to say no. It’s just a doll. Just a pink blanket. Everyone assures you too, that it doesn’t mean a thing. Everyone knows someone who was just like that, just like your kid, and now he’s fine, working the super-pro wrestling circuit as a seven-foot tall, 300 pound steroid giant. Or he’s a trucker, or a fireman, or some other manly member of the Village People. Normal! Super normal! Not a drag queen, anyway!
No, it doesn’t mean a thing.
Except, after a year, or two, or three you know it does. Now, you’re the parent—what are you going to to do about it?
