My mum is doing a census for the household and she just knocked the wind out of me in the best possible way!
She called me and told me the census needs to know my gender and asked me if she should put female, male or gender diverse and she even apologised that there wasn’t an option for non-binary.
Guys!!! This is the same mum who didn’t let me watch Harry Potter as a child because of witchcraft. The same mum who was the missions coordinator at the baptist church I grew up in. The same mum who spoke many sermons on Sunday mornings in front of the congregation. I never thought this could be a reality for me and have always shyed away from expressing my true self because of past trauma from the church which im still dealing with today but my mum has bloody stepped up for me and started showing her support more and more for who I am and it just makes me so happy.
It does get better, it may not be when you want, it may take a long time to come and there will be more steps to complete your journey and for our rights to be respected BUT IT DOES GET BETTER ❤️
Like, I’m seriously just so deliriously happy right now 😁😭❤️
