If he didn't just make fun of you to your face for liking the wrong things then he's ahead of the dad curve
My dad never made fun of my interests and I do the same with my son. I can’t imagine doing that. My dad still keeps up with my son (his grandson’s) interests and will watch YouTube streamers and play Minecraft or whatever with him. 🙂
Would it be Sailor Moons or Sailors Moon?
Sailor Moonii
Stories like these warm my heart so much
As a dad now with a trans son I so get it. I'm blessed in I know who and what I am. I will never "get" what's going on in his head or understand what trans is or any of that shit. But I love him, I want him happy and I will defend whatever he decides to be until the ends of the world.
Note to everyone and self I use he/him because in my simple brain he has a dick he's a boy. Like me he doesn't give a shit because we joke about the old meme "I identify as an attack helicopter" and I tell people my pronouns are "dumb/ass" or if I'm being a dick "she/him"
Digressions aside. If it doesn't hurt anyone, and it makes someone happy, just let them be happy.
…I'll be honest.
You're saying you'll defend whatever she decides to be, but I don't think you accept it yourself; that's why you're still treating your daughter as if she was a boy. It's perfectly possible this actually hurts her, but she doesn't complain because it's complicated to do so with your parents before adulthood, like it or not you're still a figure of authority.
How much effort does it take to not use he/him though? Are you sure they're just saying they don't care so you don't feel bad about it?
I dunno, obviously I don't know you or your kid and you seem to be handling it much better than many would... It just seems weird to be so ambivalent to something so fundamental about your child.
I've had a good number of trans people in my classes over the years. I've frankly been shocked by the number of people who do not care if you guess their gender correctly. Obviously it isn't the norm, but they are out there.
I don't know your kid or your relationship with them or anything, so I'm just speaking in generalities, but most trans people I know really appreciate being called by their preferred name and pronouns. If your kid is using certain pronouns with new people or with their friends that they are out to, it might be nice to give them a try. Maybe not, again I don't know you both, but just because someone is willing to joke about pronouns doesn't necessarily mean they don't actually care about them. Seems like you really care for your kid and I'm sure that if they wanted to be referred to with new pronouns that you'd be able to figure it out. Wishing you both the best.
Yeah man you should really be using the pronouns your child wants you to use. I imagine that they have accepted that this is the best relationship they can have with you. They're still your child and your unwavering support is important to building their self confidence regardless of whether they're cisgender or transgender.
Who's Rem?
Not ram I guess
Of course not. No one can afford ram.
Re:Zero
I just caught up after nearly a decade and this season is like: AAAAAAAAAH
Vibe-coded bot filters are becoming a landmark lately...
I'm pretty sure that's just someone's fanfic character. I've never seen them before.
Its a pretty popular character so you probably just arent enough of a weeb to know
🍃wooosh🍃
There is a guy in my city who drives a blue Subaru with my comment as his license plate. Based on the comments here, I imagine even if someone recognized it as a Re:Zero plate, they probably wouldn't get half of what he did there.
Where is the joke tho?
spoiler
In the anime the memory of Rem is wiped from the world, leaving her catatonic and only the MC remembers her from his previous lives. This is a major plot thread of the show.
I knew that but the whole fanfic thing threw me off a bit too much. If it was like "I didnt remember Ram had a sister" maybe
more than i ever got out of mine.
Same-ies.
