    This episode was so touching and so heartbreaking. I tried really hard not to cry when Laura spoke of the fears she had for her daughter. Fearing that she'll be confused, that she'll see her less as her dad and some new man will take that place, that she'll distance herself from her. As soon as the 'Two Coffins' song started, I lost it.

      I feel you, my god that's a fear. I know what Laura's talking about, it's like some/most (I'm not gonna pretend to be an authority) people think children need a father figure or at least they think they do and they have the support of an unfair society mostly. Love is all that should matter. She obviously loves Evelyn to death and rightly so. Why would you want some other dude to replace that?!

    As an FTM and a parent to a boisterous 4 and 1/2 year old boy, this really speaks to me. I have the same fears and hopes for my child, I live in a regional town so it comes with classic small town mentality, he hasn't started school yet and im just about to start hormone therepy and as I look less and less like 'mum' (although ive always been pretty masc.) i'm worried it will push him away from me. Ive never met or seen another 'Transparent' and this really helps me not feel so alone..

    There's nothing that my son could ever do that would change how I feel about him. Nothing. I don't understand these parents and families who can turn their children away over something like this. This series has helped me to understand so much more than anything else I've seen or read.

    • @michaelsieberg4216
      @michaelsieberg4216 5 лет назад +2

      Parents that shun their children for being trans are ugly people that lack the courage of unconditionally loving them due to their own and/or their friends beliefs. Just because they're parents doesn't give them the right to dictate who they're kids will be when they grow up. That's being such an ugly coward, and my heart and best wishes go out to whoever is going through it, you are braver than I could ever be !!! 🌈✌️ and 💖 the 🌎😁

    I love her music. She can both release all her seals and burst out a flurry of overwhelming sound AND play perfectly, following the song. Soul in music is transcending perfection, and honesty in music is like to unravelling the hearts of everyone who hears you. I can't help but to be moved by it.

    Evelyn is one little tough cookie, I can tell and the more she gets taught from a young age that transphobia is wrong, she will delevop a sense of justice and be the smart one in her class who sticks up for her mom and kids will probably use her anyway because her mom is in a successful rock band. What may even help is if her dad did a talk with her class when she begins school, not like straight away but eventually do an educational speech.. a bring my cool trans mom to school day.

    So, a few thoughts from a cis gender woman.
    When I stare too long at a person, any person, I am comparing myself to them. Sometimes I am saying to myself, 'that person has struggles I have never experienced.' And I am greatful to them because the strength I have is for my own growth and challenges and not for theirs and that is enough for me.
    When I stare at someone too long I may be in awe! I am jealous of some aspect of that person, any person, for being their self out in the world, as I perceive them. I strive to be myself out in the world, to accept myself.
    I am not sure why exactly, perhaps because I chose to see most people I meet as a unknown and try to be open, both my boys grew up with an acceptance/curiosity of people of every difference.
    I would talk to my children, I would explain things to them in a matter of fact possitive way.
    And yes as a parent I would be nervous, worried about how I may present to anyone I was curious or anxious around, and in turn I would mistakenly take on some kind of guilt from my own childrens behavior as if it were my own and be paranoid I was saying, doing, teaching the wrong thing.
    I am drawn to transgender people. I dont know why exactly but I believe it is because I have admiration. I have admiration because I think they are strong. I want to be strong.
    We are survivors.
