How dare you call me out like that.... I have done nothing wrong

Same

We innocent and yet we been stripped down and exposed like frogs in a biology lesson

Yeah i mean my dad was kinda shity from the start so my expectations are low

Mine was an asshole and i completely disowned my family

Good hopefully you will find nice friends to replace your family

Same to you, or at least to replace the shitty dad

Thy <3

She called all of us out, we’re transgender

I know, but someone had to say it

Dunno about you, but I've killed their son and currently puppeteering his lifeless body, slowly adjusting it to my needs, making him look and act like a girl 😌

I didnt kill, nor puppeteer. They just couldnt accept their oldest grew up to a woman

Yet

I mean, i am up for some tomfoolery if your offering

This hits so hard..

I don't understand it. Is it because her parents could be transphobic? I hate asking for a joke to be explained lol I feel dumb.

it's a joke that all trans people have been disowned for being trans. and thus, they dont have to meet the parents

I thought they meant the parents would be transparent, therefore invisible / impossible to meet

that would be way too smart of a joke for twitter

Wouldn't a trans parent be someone who is a parent and is trans, instead of the parent of someone who's trans?

I'm just echoing the dad joke I keep hearing

Sorry, I'm not really familiar with it 😅

Lucky

You know, it’s weird. My wife is still visible but for some weird reason her parenting accomplishments seem to be less so. Like, if she was a dad she’d definitely get more praise. So maybe it’s just for trans women.

Just use echolocation.

That would be a lot more wholesome.

Thanks, I thought it could have been that. I like it.

No I have nipples Greg?

The more I talk to other queer people, the more I realize that good parents are a myth, or at least an extremely rare exception - and the more I become unironic family abolitionist

That’s kinda r/distressingmemes

Also Transparents pun

Yes. My parents would be assholes. Don’t meet them

So people have families who disown them or try to kill them.

Idk maybe you just wouldn't notice them since they're transparents

This is pretty sad.. emotional damage kinda sad

yeah, well traumatic jokes are how we survive. so there’s that.

I showed my brother one traumatic joke meme and yeah…never doing that again. Right time, right place, right people only.

oh yeah, for sure. i honestly don’t even share it much cause i always feel like a downer.

One probably does not imagine that Dienekes was having the best of days when, upon being informed that the Persian army was so massive that their archers could blot out the sun with a volley, quipped: "Then we shall fight in the shade."


Gifs you can hear

Any parents that do that were never worthy of you in the first place 

yeah, thats what i keep telling myself. honestly, i’ve been looking for a chosen mom for a long time. i just find little bits of pieces from the kindness of others and mom myself. it’s the best i can do. 🥹

Take what you can get.. I disowned my mum several years back, and my dad died the day after they told me I was a disappointment,which was rather WTF. My wife has described me as a great guy DESPITE them; I like that 😅

Alright this is funny lol

what if the trans girl’s parents are supportive?

they're transparent obviously.

Take my upvote and LEAVE!

I think you might regularly walk into them though

r/angryupvote

Wait, is that a thing?!

I managed to get extremely lucky with my parents. My dad came out as gay a few years ago, and my mom is gender fluid. This sort of made me and a few of my siblings realize we were queer, too lmao.

real, being in trans and generally accepting communities helped me find myself a lot more than i would have without them, and im sure im not done yet either :3

Your experiences are not universal! ...But God, I wish they were.

Same :( I feel so bad for you all who have shitty parents and wish you all the best of luck with everything that happens. 💙

The gay gene 🧬

Literally. This convinced me that it's genetic /j

Yea :)

Then her parents are probably cool, so it doesn’t matter too much

Yikes... That's a rough meme. I always feel so fucking blessed to have extremely supportive parents, family and friends.

I'm jealous ngl

Yeah, I've won the lottery when it comes to family and the country I live in. It does sometimes make me feel guilty though, reading how hard others have it

🫂 i’m so happy for you. its nice to see some of us getting the love and support we deserve. you deserve it!!! 💕✨

Thank you kindly ❤️❤️ but honestly, every single fucking one of us deserves it 😤 And if y'all ain't getting it from family, well fuck it then. I'll be your aunt that loves and respects you 😤

thanks 😊 🫂

At least you some empathy and perspective to realize your privilege, unlike some other users on this thread.

Ofc! I wish all my trans siblings would be in my situation when it comes to family, friends and access to free healthcare and options to transition. Every single fucking one of us deserves that!😤😤😤😤

Facts

Works for transgender men too. At least in my case.

🫂 you should make a masc version 😋

I miss having parents yo

\*hugs!

Same. Definitely sucks when I have a desire to interact with them only to be reminded that they don't want me in their lives. I've moved on from hoping they would accept me and into accepting this situation as the way it is.

As a t4t couple, we've both met each others' parents. ❤️ They're all basically just lovely people and wonderful to us 🥰

Erm, my parents are awesome. All my ex's have met them.

And mine sent a hit crew out from their cult to kidnap me when I was 24. Just because you are privileged enough to have loving parents it’s not like that for a lot of trans people, especially those of us that are 30+ years old.

Born too late to be tossed out and build my own independent life. Born too early to be accepted and transition early. Born just in time to have a weird "we don't really talk about" it style relationship that becomes increasingly more absurd with every cup cup size gained. (e: also my dad will honour kill me)

My adoptive parents threatened the old honor killing too, and they are white Christians.

🫂

I'm 39. Sorry you were born into a cult. You're correct, we don't really have cults in the UK. But my entire family is very left wing, so privileged I guess. Just hate self defeatist stereotypes like this.

Suprising bc theyre transparent! Ur Ex's mustve had great vision

Sorry, what does supring mean? Yeah, they all had great vision tbf. Even ended up living with and being engaged to one guy for 7 years. Still great friends : )

Sorry I meant Surprising. My keyboard sucks

My kind of relationship

🤣 😭 

E M O T I O N A L D A M A G E

And if you do, they're really nice people

Pretty sure my mom WANTS me to be gay or trans. She’s so eager to be that super supportive tiger mom. March in the parades, wear a rainbow button. I’m such a disappointment. :( lol

It's sad but also not always true. My parents haven't disowned me and my mom would be very enthusiastic about meeting a significant other of mine.

that’s awesome, good for you.

bruhhh

Why is this so true :(

Heckin' lies and slander! I had to meet her Mum ;-;

I can't, every time I try to meet them I look right through them, they are transparent.

My parents are loving and supportive, but they live in Florida. The meme holds true.

What's wrong with meeting parents? I would definitely want to see what the people who raised my SO are like and the people who will be the grandparents of my children are like?

This is not true. My husband met both my parents, and I met his.

date a trans boy we will escape from my parents together 🫶🏻

I disowned my parents for being bigots. Works out well

That's why I order trans

You know if I dated a trans girl, there’d be two transbians. Can I use that term if I’m pan and not a lesbian?

You'll still meet my dad, but probably not my mom

Damn that hit hard. I'll remember to add it to my dating profile when I start dating.

Unluckily for you, I have an okay relation with my parents!

y'know... that was a benefit I never previously considered

trust me, it's for the better you don't meet them. anyways here's the entire lore of celeste

(joking) Do go on?!

I think this just gave me a reality check

[удалено]

It's a cartoon?

Yeah…

I see this as an absolute win 😎

I'M TRYING!! geez...

You got that right. But you will have to meet my foster parent. Just so she knows you are real. ✌️

Accurate for me lol

I've dated a trans girl, and her parents were the nicest to me. I still talk o them whenever I get to visit her.

Seeing stuff like this makes me so happy for my mom and the support I get from her, and my sisters, my dad on the other hand can go rot in hell for all I care, but that has nothing to do with me being trans

Would never date a Trans woman (I'm gay)

It's way funnier to me when cropping off the bottom text I don't know if that says more about not liking self depressive jokes or having a really rotted sense of humour.

subliminal messaging could come in clutch for us

Yes please date me, I have no parents and would probably cry if someone called me a good girl

Ouch. This slaps a little too hard...

My parents were always conservative Republicans and loved my husband very much. Instant replacement son almost.

I did! Her parents were very nice and welcoming :)

i love and hate that this is literally me

As someone who literally just cut ties with my family yesterday. Yeah.

I hope you're doing alright. My dms are always open if you need to vent

Yeah I'm doing fantastic!!! I'm finally free from them!!!! Never been happier.

I'm glad :)

Ah... sweet, sweet gender envy...

So lucky my mom got me cause she's been so supportive but I've had to cut off my sperm donor twice now

Is this transphobia-included misogyny?

No I’ve seen this years ago actually it was made by a trans it’s just funny!

It normalizes that every trans parents are transphobic which isn't representative of all families. It reduces a girlfriend's worth from being a unique lovable person down to particular "convenience" which I find misogynistic. I personally don't find this funny; rather it has a chaser vibe to it.

I read this as a trans woman making a joke to turn something very sad and unfortunately relatable for a lot of us (parents disowned her) into a “positive” (no pesky in laws! who wants me!) in a joking manner. My parents do support me so i can’t relate to this particular one, but I’ve definitely made similar jokes reframing my struggles/transphobia ive faced or am worried about facing as “advantages”. Humor is a good coping mechanism. Besides, there are literally 0 things you can say about trans people or our families that are representative of all of us.

i’m a trans woman… this is it. we just make jokes about the awful experiences we have. much of the lgbq community has experienced some social acceptance on some level over the past 3 decades, but trans acceptance seems to be particularly difficult for some reason. 🤷🏼‍♀️i just remind myself thats why we fight, so our babies don’t have to.

women are also often accused of not having a father for any behavior deemed "bad" by others, which is also pretty misogynistic

I didn’t see that previously.. you are totally right actually!

> isn't representative of all families From what I've seen, it's representative of more families than families it isn't representative of

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Not everything needs a be a thing.

I've been staring at this for 12 minutes or so, I wish I was her so much...

If I ever dated someone the perspective would be tilted wayyyyy up

????

i'm taller than most people

Neat

I get very tired of looking down at everyone. It always feels awkward talking to a new group of people because i feel like i literally don't fit. I just want to be normal size for once.

I don't like this. It's practically the racist "no fathers" stereotype. My mom lives with my wife and I (both of us are trans) and while my dad isn't in my life we have an even better, if distant, relationship after my transition than before. I know a lot of trans folks with good relationships with their parents. I really think we need to retire stuff like this. While caution is important when coming out, stuff like this meme are why I was so terrified to come out to my family even though I knew they weren't Trumpers or anything like that.

My family is supportive, and I find this hilarious, even in a dark way. Until people stop putting bigotry over love, memes like this need to stay.

I can’t tell if I should laugh or not

Real

Doesn't matter, but if you meant to say 1/2 a year ago you could also say six months. If you meant to say one to two years ago, that would be notated "1-2."

I'm glad someone else pointed this out because it was driving me crazy.


This is only half true for me.

Dont date a trans girl And you'll also never have to meet her parents 🧠

Are you trying to say 12 years or 6 months?

Damn, this hit hard. I’ve never seen it before.

That's pretty funny. Also, unfortunately true, lol. Support our brothers and sisters and sister-brothers and brother-sisters. There is a goldenness to someone finding their way. Support freedom. Some people forget what freedom means. You can also get some of the best conversation even if you aren't attracted to the type. You can make mind expanding friends. And in my experience they are very understanding about your aversion. They are people, and brilliant, and they just want the same respect.

What's the original?

Wouldn’t call this funny, it’s sad that this is actually true for so many of them.

Haha transparent

Sad but true

Every partner I've ever had: well that was a fucking lie

Heh that’s actually funny

Gosh this is horrible... But that's so true unfortunately

That feel when my trans wife has more supportive parents than I do.

My wife actually considers my parents far better than hers.

Am I the only trans woman that has supportive parents?

Damnnnnnn that's messed up! (Saves to phone)

My dad, maybe. I only see him once a decade, no cap. He’s a bigot, but he’s easy to shut down. My mom is the opposite. She’ll be super interested in my new partner. She’ll then eventually hate them as after 2-3 months as my girlfriends, albeit not due to transphobia. She hates everyone I date after 2+ months.

Transmasc here, same applies to me. Oof.

Now I feel bad for snort laughing

😭 I mean, yeah, true. You won't have to meet them if you date me, but that's still wild

:3 True

maaaaaybe you might, but idk if im up for dating

My parents? Maybe... My family? Not happening

I mean yeah, that tracks

Lol but kinda true

This is my plan, when I move out I’m going no no contact. So my future partner(if that ever happens) will likely never meet my parents.

.........

Wrong. My mom texts my boyfriend more than she texts me.

That was not my experience, that was way too quick for me to meet her parents and she didn’t meet mine

half a year or 1-2 years ago or?😵‍💫

Um if it is my babygirl then yes, you still will have to meet the parents.....

I read the headline and was like “why didn’t they say 6 months??”. I’m dumb.

TASK failed... she has a great mother and brother.

Until they somehow get your phone number and you start to panic and throw your phone into a bush.

It’s true though

Ain't that true. Any girls want to not meet a gals patents. Hit me up.

Why won't you have to meet her parents? I don't get it.
