I actually had an OK-ish chat with my dad about transness...he's a huge contrarian and a pedant which makes talking about many things quite annoying, but thankfully he is not on social media at all so he is not completely pilled in any one direction. Once I introduced the phrase "decoupling sex and gender" he was able to at least grasp that, so.....baby steps. But who knows where we'll be at next year.
