      I was always careful never to tell my child I would love them no matter what.

      If they came out as trans (or any lbgt+) I would still love them.

      If they became a maniac killer I wouldn’t.

      Getting rid of toxic people is first step towards a happier life. You’ll sooner or later find like minded people.

      Big hugs friend …

      Just an apropos of nothing …

      I’ve had two friends tell me how they’re sick of this woke shit. I said, I hear more whining about woke shit than any woke shit so you’re gonna have to be specific. He said, “Chris’ kid thinks he’s trans now, like he’s too young what the fuck is that?”

      I was like, “I’ve never met Chris’ kid and it seems you think they’re doing it for attention but what if they are <trans>…?”

      It’s like … trans people got their own shit that they’re going through and some of my friends act like it’s their problem somehow.

      Sorry that happened, mate. One of our older kids is gay. Our 16 year old is non-binary. I don’t give a shit as long as they are able to thrive without assholes standing in their way. They are always welcome in my home along with any partners they find happiness with. I’m sorry I can’t be that for every child who lost the people who were supposed to have their back no matter what.

      Now that I think about it, this is surely almost always a lie? I doubt many people will keep loving someone once they find out they’re a serial killer, pedophile, or worse, a conservative.

        Disapproving of someone’s choices and actions doesn’t mean you don’t love them anymore. In fact that’s why it hurts more when someone you love does something truly heinous. It’s often hard to just suddenly let go when it’s your child, sibling, etc.

        serial killer, pedophile, or worse, a conservative.

        We can still love each and every one of them, and tell them so during visiting hours. Especially the conservative, as I suspect they quickly become some bubba’s bitch.
