...you realize your mother is transphobic and omg think of the poor children if their father suddenly decides to become a woman!1!
Oh, and homophobic too because think doubly of the poooor children if they get stuck with two mothers!

I'm sorry, OP. That sucks. *hug*

I always wonder what the homophobes who say stuff like "the children need a mother/father!!!" think of single parents.

Ouch. That sucks anon, I'm sorry. :(

I used to think my Grandmum was pretty cool, when last election season she started talking about how "Palin was [her] girl" and she didn't want "Obummer" to win, so I kind of know how you feel, a little. Not as much, obviously, though.

Hugs/handshake/high five/none of the above of consoling?

god forbid people have differing political opinions, right?

NAYRT, but I think discovering that an older family member or friend supports a potentially racist, sexist, and otherwise prejudiced politician can be more disconcerting than just discovering "differing political opinions."

AYRT

Well, I wouldn't mind it if she had different opinions- but she was incredibly rude about her hatred of Obama/Biden- I mean, I've known my Mum is a Conservative, but I attributed it to her finding Christianity in college, and sticking to it.

My grandparents always seemed very liberal to me, in that sense. They weren't church goers, we never prayed at the table, they had no Bibles... So for me, I thought Christian=Republican, (explaining my Mum and Uncle), and Non-Christian = Democrat (explaining my other uncles, my aunt, and my Da.)

So finding out my Grandmum was none of those things was a bit of a shock, yes.

Yeah, it sucks. I feel you. But does it really make you very uncomfortable? That is, my own mother has her oddities (and I don't mean it in a good way), but I generally don't give a damn. Although it used to freak me out when I was a child, because she tried to control my life in accordance to her beliefs.
It can be pretty hard if you're close, I suppose...

And maybe misogynistic too if having a father is so much more important than two mothers?
Anyway that's pretty ignorant...

Speaking of which, have you guys seen this anti-gay marriage ad?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlRfSRh8HGk

The sappy music and oh how ~tragic~ it is that gay people have kids. It makes me seeth.

Oh my gosh, that's the funniest thing I've seen all day. XD The ridiculously overprotective mom is there exactly as the other kid falls two whole feet into sand, the one kid has this horrible solemn expression like he's about to snap and kill someone because of his terrifying gay dads, and the way the Dads' feet step into the frame make them look like... mafia hitmen or something- I can't shake the feeling they're about to beat the mom and the other kid up.

In fact, I propose an alternate story- this ad is actually the tale of a child mafia don who lost his mother at an early age, and his two adoptive gangster dads who go around beating up anyone who reminds him of his pain. It's this summer's most anticipated thriller!

...I'd pay to watch that.

Jeez that's awful. The sad expression on the kid, and the over the top mom, and the legs without a face. I think I'd find it more funny if I didn't know of a huge group of the population that takes that shitty argument seriously.

Hahahahahaa!

I was raised by married heterosexual parents (still married after 40 years) and I got hurt all the frickin' time as a kid without someone to hug me immediately because you know what? Parents aren't always going to be physically close enough to their kids every second of every day for that.

I also love the implication that fathers are incapable of providing comfort. I see them do it all the time. My dad always has for me. This also begs the question: "what about lesbians?" If that boy had two mommies, then he'd have TWICE the comforting hugs when he fell down, right?

Pretty offensive to everyone except a minority of paranoid moms who freak out at the idea that anyone else - even other women - could do what they do because that somehow robs them of their identity.

The description tells me I've seen that one before.

It's the point where I realize: these people are now parodying themselves.

LOL DADS AREN'T CARING AND NURTURING

But whyyyy would one lump and reduce every issue to "the children"?

Sorry OP. :/ That's rough. I guess the two of you are close? If you aren't then it should be easier to ignore her, though of course I understand that it might still hurt.

But...maybe given some time to think it over and process it (if you did just tell her), she'll come around? Stranger things have happened.

It might not be likely in your case, IDK, but just know that whatever happens it'll be okay. It sucks that's she's being so unreasonable and harsh, but if she does keep up with it...you're better off without her anyway.

That sucks, OP, I'm so sorry. :( I really feel you there. My parents are basically the same way. And decide to be vocal about it around me. When they know that I'm gay. It's infuriating and I can't wait to move out again. (The kicker? THEY HAVE NO CLUE WHY I WANT TO MOVE AWAY. /headdesk)

My parents are super cool and I really adore them, but they have on occasion made some transphobic comments. Not like... hateful. They're pretty accepting of the concept, but their attitude is disrespectful sometimes. My dad (until I recently told him off for it) used to call transpeople "trannies", and they both still use the wrong pronouns when talking about transwomen/transmen (so, they'd refer to a mtf transwoman as "he", like "he's being a girl!").

But like, they've also said they'd be supportive if *I* were trans, for instance. So I dunno. I guess they just need to be more aware of how their words and tones can be hurtful, though I dunno if I'd call them transphobic for it.
