Just something small maybe, but it warmed my heart...
I have a sports fanatic son, so he was of course just discussing the World Cup that is on at the moment. He asked how many Mens world cups there have been since he was born. The he said, very matter of factly, discussing them both on equal measure - “there have been three Women’s world Cups and three Mens World cups since I’ve been born Mum!”
Nothing to do with a Trans discussion. I just was so damn proud that it was normal and quite right to him that the Women’s World cups were as valid and perfectly reasonable to be discussed alongside the men’s. Not as a joke or token gesture, if even discussed at all.
Made me smile. I do t want to go down the road of who might start to be in those teams in the future. I just want to hold on to what this means right now...
