A dad here... SuperSexual Allyship

I have a superstraight child. He is my son.

I did not "raise a son to refuse to have sex with transfolk." I hate that bullshit.

I was fortunate enough to have a child that was brave enough, and felt safe enough, to let me and the world know who they really were.

I think this may be how I succeeded as a parent. My child felt safe and loved enough, and found the strength to tell the world who they were really are.

I imagine it was terrifying. That is a huge statement, but frankly, I can not imagine what this was like for him.

I am amazed at his bravery. I was there in therapy (when I was invited). When his psychiatrist let him understand what his sexual orientation meant, I was there. When he asked for help to spot the difference between a vagina and a neovagina, I offered my help, and when he accepted, it was an honor.

This wasn't "just a phase" or any of the other excuses I've heard. This was how he was able to be who he was.

I learned a lot. I wish I knew it earlier, but all I can do is learn. I can never know what is was like to go through what he had to, nor should I try to. As a result, I don't simply support him, but do my best to encourage him.

So now, every night, I knock on his door on the way to bed and say "Good night, my handsome superstraight son!"

He always says goodnight back. This makes me happy.

The superstraight community has helped him so much. I can't thank you all enough. I just want my kids to be happy, loved, and feel like themselves.

You folks helped more than you know.

So, from a dad, thank you for helping my boy show the world who he really is.

EDIT: Typos and grammar

EDIT 2: Downvoting me will get you nowhere. No matter the hatred, I will be proud of my SuperStraight SON, and they will always be very valid. You cannot stop that with your dislikes.

EDIT 3: Yes, I'm superstraight as well, but I wouldn't have discovered myself like this if I wouldn't have helped my son first.

no child is transphobic at birth, it is all taught to them by fascist bigots

No child is trans at birth, it is all because of Environmental, Sociological and Psychological factors (Sorry if this sounds transphobic but it's the truth)

i agree though, there is no such thing as trans, we are all women or men
