It was a quiescent Sunday evening. The sky was alight in hues of red
and purple, and an energetic breeze from the seashore whirred into the
bus I had boarded from Cuddallore. I was back from an interview, an
unusual one but, more importantly, one that had answered one of the
nagging questions of my life.

That is what a mother is really about.  Loving, caring, nurturing.  Is this something that is reserved for bio women only.  Or if a bio man has the qualities does that make him a mother.  No that makes him a father.

So if a trans person has the same qualities, does that make them a mother or father.  Yes biological sex does not make one a mother or father.  It is the qualities that make them a good parent.

Case in point the bio mother sold the child twice.  Giving birth does not make one a Mom, a mother yes, but not a Mom.  A Mom, or Dad has the qualities mentioned.
