Is your acceptance unconditional?
Prompted by comments in a concurrent thread, the thought has crossed my mind …how accepting of your partners’ or childrens’ choices are you?
Let me explain; If your partner or children presented themselves to you in a manner different to what you were used to e.g. heavily tattooed, pierced, extremely radical hair style, radically different choice of clothing etc, would you accept this as their personal choice or would you feel that it would be too embarrassing for you to be seen in public with them? i.e. do you accept them unconditionally or do you require your family to comply with your own insecurities & not embarrass you?
As another example; Instead of a MTF Tg person advising their family of their Tg status (& femininity), what about if they were to advise their partner that they intend to move as far along the spectrum as possible but in the gender they are known as & now live & present as blatantly masculine as possible – a real rough, tough, bloke. Do you believe that extreme masculinity would be as big a problem to your partner (or vice versa) etc as many believe the MTF move to be?

My family friends people around me are perfect maybe its just my personality but I’ve never had anyone say anything like we won’t be seen with u it’s the opposite dad takes me to places all the time he braggs about his daughter “me” all the time about my swimming cycling my beauty business my professional makeup business mum dad love the makeup photos I have in my portfolio
Yeah think its how you act not look act positive and bubbly people warm to you don’t give them expations why just show them your a good person it works.
