Thanks Mom...

My mom recently started working in a new doctor’s office.
The other girls that work there are telling her about certain patients.
They mention a transman who they refer to as ‘it’.
My my asks a question about the patient and refers to him in his correct pronoun.

They ask ‘why are you referring to it as him?’

To which my mom answers- Because he’s transgender.
And goes on to explain briefly, why he is to be referred to as such.

They all ask how does she know so much about being TG.

(here’s where it gets good)

She points at the picture on her desk of her daughter,
whom they all have commented how beautiful she is, and how much she looks like her mom.

‘because my daughter is transsexual’

(God, I love this woman)

She went on about our relationship, and essentially, the validity of my gender.



They all go on about how embarrassed and sorry they are if they offended her.
To which she says
“Don’t be sorry for me, be sorry for yourself for being ignorant.”


SLAM DUNK MOM!

Very awesome. Love how they pushed them into the corner by showing them your photo. They can't say jack shit after commenting on it all this time.

That put the biggest smile on my face. Your mother schooled them, and maybe now they can school others. High Five for mom on that one!!!

Wow, your mum's a total badass. That's seriously one of the best things I've heard, can't believe how ignorant those others were though.
