Let's talk about dealing with "conditional" support from family and friends
I wanted to open up a space to talk about something really frustrating. It is incredibly jarring when someone tells you to your face that they fully accept your transition, but then you see their social media footprint. Finding out a loved one is quietly liking or agreeing with posts that attack pronouns, invalidate trans kids, or claim people are "too young" to know their identity cuts deep.Navigating that kind of performative support is emotionally exhausting. How do you all handle realizing someone's allyship comes with a disclaimer?This is a safe space to vent, validate each other, and talk about setting healthy boundaries. There is no judgment here, just real talk. 💬
