I'm not GC but...

I mean, there are Ovarit posts of GC people getting angry at the sight of trans people doing inane things like sitting in waiting rooms or shopping at stores. They get lathered up when trans people date, dye their hair, or mention feeling too good OR too bad about themselves or their bodies. People get downvoted for so much as saying "you can still be friends with someone who's trans."

I think in reality, most people suck. All parents make mistakes and have opinions that their children would be wise to scrutinize for whether or not it applies to themselves. I don't think a trans person would make a better parent than any other random member of any other demographic. I don't think they'd make a worse parent either, tho. As long as a child isn't isolated from the rest of the world, and can see what myriad different types of people are doing, and is allowed the freedom to explore these options with a sane amount of guidance, they'll likely have as much of a chance as anyone to turn out okay.
