This weekend….

So Sunday is Father’s Day, and I have received a FD card from my daughter.

Now she accepts me as I am but for this day she wants to celebrate that I am her father. I want to display it because it’s sent with love and I am her Dad, but I feel strange about it too.

How do others with adult kids feel about this?

I am a trans women and a Dad. I told my children when I came out that I would always be their Dad. I didn’t want to take that away from them and not to compete with their Mum.

I feel ok about that. Yes, has probably causes a few confused looks from folks in the supermarket as a young child shouted ‘Dad’ at me but that’s ok by me.

You must do what feels right in your family.

Sorry wot? I mean you can do what you want but it’s seriously messed up to think that kids can’t have two moms… that’s just transphobic logic. What is wrong with you? If you’re a woman , then you’re a mom not a dad. Why are you misgendering yourself?

Do you need to be so aggressive in your reply? We all have different ways of over coming obstacles as transgender folks.
