Title: A snapshot of Trans parenthood
Post by: MarinaM on May 18, 2011, 03:08:38 PM


I love this video!
I dare you to say something about passing. I dare you. That's not what this is about.

I just wanted to give the people who have young children a glimpse into what interaction is like between a trans mom and her daughter. Which is to say, completely normal :) Plus, I like to show her off!

;D ;D ;D

Totally made me smile the whole way through. Your daughter is adorable.

That's all kinds of awesome, hon. I think your little one rather stole the show though, lol.

Aww thanks! I've watched it about five times myself!

I'm so glad I have these moments on film  :)

I can't believe you're old enough to have children/that you have children!  I thought you were, like, 18 or 19!  She is so cute and obviously loves you very much.

Now that is a compliment for the ages! I'm 27, and I do work to keep myself in decent shape. That baby though... Let's just say you can't hide from aging after a child enters your life. She's only cute in doses, that's why they're little love magnets, as a matter of survival.  :D

I loved the video (seeing you in it!) Emma. Your very photogenic.

Your daughter (and you, of course) is such a sweetie.

Make more!!

I will! It's too fun :)

I think we need an intervention, to be honest  :)

Thank you all for the lovely compliments, friends. I just hope that I can help some other young closeted trans parent to come out and address their issues - I couldn't stand by and tell my daughter to succeed and achieve without being true to myself. It really is worth the risk, IMO.

LOL... Memories  :)
I made videos of my daughter and I as well, at about the same age too! She's just turning 20 next month....
Despite the warnings of the homophobic psychologist, she turned out quite well.

Kids are a great part of life, their laughter, un inhibited, nonpolitical and their love absolute.

It's nice to see another trans person with a daughter and seeing how well they get along. The child isn't bothered one bit by it or anything. Makes me wish my wife could have seen this. Thank you for posting this.

You should show this video to all the bigots who say trans people can't be parents because they're perverted, will cause "gender confusion" in the child, etc. That should soften their hard hearts.
