She was talking with my grandparents while I was in the other room watching TV. They were talking about something called the “enhanced games” a sports thing where athletes would purposefully take a bunch of steroids to enhance their performance, and my mom (unprompted) brought up Trans athletes and basically said that they were comparable. This isn’t insanely bad since I know that even among allies, it’s a pretty common point to say they have an unfair biological advantage, but 1. She usually presents as a pretty progressive person so it was jarring to hear, and 2. She ACTUALLY SAID “a man is a man, a woman is a woman” at one point which is definitely transphobic.

It happened a few months ago, but it came back to mind because I saw a video debunking some of those kinds of claims, which kind of brought the memory back. I thought about sending it to her but I didn’t want to argue with something she might not remember saying so decided not to. The whole incident definitely isn’t a huge deal, she hasn’t said anything like it since, but it was still kind of an eye opening thing what my “supportive” mother will say when she thinks I can’t hear her.

Edit: I might delete this later, because my mom has checked my Reddit account before

I know this is kind of old, but I keep getting recommended posts from the sub and it’s been bugging me: what rule did I break here?

It’d be very interesting if the “African people socialist party” path of the redneck revolt had unique intentions with the black liberation army.

Just found out sonic racing crossroads is doing a crossover… how do I react to that?
