@Vengabus I return you to my original comment.
You are the disappointing child. You mother has higher hopes for her grandson.

@AdmiralPrune turns out my mum isn’t joining you in that opinion. I was wrong. She’s just held my hand and told me to “find my tribe” and ignore people like you who don’t want me to live.

I'm sorry but in my opinion trans people need to acknowledge that their beliefs are extreme and family members will have a hard time accepting the changes they make. Give your Mom a break, you are essentially telling her to forget the person you were growing up...the child she raised...
Maybe focus on the good memories she is creating by being in your son's life.
Maybe not make it about you and your identity. 🤷♂

@SumKindaMunster I’ll even get you started;
1. Existing as yourself is not a "belief system," nor is it "extreme, or political ideology.
2. Transitioning does not erase your childhood, your memories, or the fact that your parents raised you. Nobody is asking anyone to get amnesia.
3. Being a decent grandparent does not grant someone a free pass to inflict emotional harm on their adult child.
4. Don’t demand that trans people centre other people’s comfort, sense of nostalgia, and other people’s feelings regarding their own lives, while simultaneously accusing them of being the selfish one for simply existing.

@Vengabus Yah ok. Kinda siding with your Mom here.
I offered some kind advice to resolve differences with your Mom, and you turn it into a screed against me and portrayed yourself as the victim in this situation. Apparently, that's all that matters to you.
And hey, you may be a victim. But you have a child and that child has a grandma and all you want to do is make it about yourself. Children grow up quickly and once that time is gone, it's gone.
Do what you wish, I have no dog in this fight. But you asked for advice and I gave it to you, and you chose to bite my head off. 😒

@SumKindaMunster I addressed every point you made and none of it was advice. It was anti-trans rhetoric you’ve learned from your echo chamber.
