I heard a funny Mom/Dad story. It was told by a trans woman.
She was in Costco with her young son. He wanted to taste one of the food items that a Costco was handing out. The Costco employee said that he would have to ask his mom for permission and she pointed to his "mom".
The boy said, and I quote, "That's not my mom. That's my dad. He used to be a boy and now he's a girl." He said it loud enough so that everyone around could hear what he was saying.
True story. Told by the "mom" as a speaker at the Keystone Conference one year.
The mom is Amanda Simpson, the first openly transgender woman U.S. presidential appointee.
