Plenty of homophobic suburban mom types prefer a HSTS "daughter" to a gay son, so much that they'll parade "her" around while glowing with pride at how they fixed their kid. Nobody wants an AGP though.

Thankfully, I have never met those moms. But those moms are pieces of shit. But people like that care more about appearances than they do about reality. So those moms see long hair, a dress, makeup and the artificial effects of oestrogen and say "that’s a woman" whilst ignoring the male frame and the Adam’s apple.

I’d rather be kicked out of the house than this.

I try to keep telling people that conservatives are more accepting of trans people than gay people and they keep keep blowing me off. They really don't see it.

I saw it happen with my wife. Her family completely rejected her for being gay and refused to accept me as her partner. They then tried to convince her she was confused about her gender...

The comments on that post even suggest it.

Transition is a form of fixing the gay.

This is very new to me. In my personal everyday life, I've seen hardcore conservatives be somewhat more "accepting" of their gay child or family member, or just stay neutral. But, when it comes to trans, they're not accepting AT ALL. I'm a heterosexual guy, who has family roots in the deep south. They'll much rather deal with "normal" gay people, than deal with "wrong body" types. They think the "wrong body" types & the "you have to date me now, because I say I'm this" types are taking it "too far".

The thing is it's not "hardcore conservatives", it's the everyday "soccer mom" type who'll participate in PTA meetings and talk about all her "diverse" friends but is secretly a huge bigot.

That kind will prefer a "trans daughter" over a gay son, partly for popularity and oppression points, and partly because her own sense of gender roles is as strict as a religious nut's.
