A little tiny rant in a safe place...

My beautiful (bisexual) daughter has been happily in a relationship with her GF for 18mths, GF has declared herself Trans and is pushing ahead to get a medical transition.

GFs parents struggle with her being gay, they do try but it couldn’t be more obvious. GF herself is butch and gets grief about that...this could not more obviously be internalised homophobia and social pressure.

I have told my DD that her love and support should not be at the expense of her own well-being and that I, her terfy mother, will support however I can. I am raging inside that this is something on the table for a 20year old who should be supported in coming to terms with who she is, not being cheered on to make permanent decisions with life time consequences.

I needed to get that out.

Thank you for the support. I hesitated to post, this is not really about me and my feelings and Lord knows, many posters on this board are far more directly impacted by this issue than I am....but I feel better for doing so. Thank you Mumsnetters x
