I told her via text, my gf thought it would be too awkward and nerve wracking in person so we decided we would text her instead. My mom doesn’t really talk about trans people at all, or any politics to begin with, so i’m not 100% on what her stances are. The only times she’s really talked about them was if they showed up in media she watches and I’ve deduced she is somewhat accepting?? For example, sometimes she will say things like “she doesn’t look trans at all” or “oh i see it, she DOES kinda look like a man” which I personally don’t think is her being transphobic on purpose I think it is just a little tone deaf 😭😭 But after i had sent the text, she followed with “are you serious or joking” which i was expecting from her. I said serious and she just said “whatever floats her boat”. I cannot figure out the tone of that at all. On one hand, she used she/her so win? But the phrase itself is kind of sarcastic. We’re probably going to talk about it more at some point and i’ll see what she actually meant but i just thought i’d talk ab it to someone because it’s been making me a little anxious.
