Travis James It be like that sometimes

[@nicholastotoro7721]

Sometimes is really is like that. When my former stepbrother came out (my father and his mother are now divorced), his mother threw herself into a narcissistic pity party and meltdown where she didn't come out of her bedroom for three days. Despite my father's own extreme shortcomings as a father, he was the one who told her she needed to get right and help her son, that he was going to be experiencing a lot of turmoil and that a lot of kids his age struggling with their sexuality turn to substance abuse and/or suicide.

i was bawling

[@Shadow-zf5uc]

So when my cousin came out as gay his parents kicked him out. Then, his mother had a near death experience and an emergency open heart surgery. After she woke up she realized that if she had died on that operating table her own son would not come to her funeral. She also realized that if her son were to die before her she wouldn't be invited to his. These two realisations caused my aunt, a proud, republican, christian lady to accept and reconnect with her son. She also accepted all his friends, some of whom were middle eastern, gay, and Muslim. She also accepted all her son's boyfriends and his husband with open arms. I wish more parents thought about situations like this when disowning their LBGTQIA+ children. About how they'd feel if their child died with the last memory of their parents being one of rejection and pain. Or about how they'd feel if their own child wouldn't show up for their funeral. Maybe they'd realize that their kids are more important than their homophobia, biphobia, or transphobia. Maybe.

I agree. However, there can be a double edged sword...a lot of people de-transition and feel that after surgery something was missing, when they expected it to make them feel whole. I would love to support anybody who chooses what they want, but the grey area does exist and I would feel so badly to support a friend or family member who ended up feeling that way...like somebody should have fought with them to figure out who they truly want to be before going the surgical route. Its very heartbreaking. Just as heartbreaking as not letting someone be who they think they wanna be. Its so difficult...

usually in movie and tv . you don’t see black fathers in their child’s life. and if they are it’s very little because their toxic masculinity makes them think that only the woman should raise their children. but in this scene you hear about a black father who was not only in his child’s life but also did everything he could for his children making sure they lived in a positive environment to be creative and express who they are. and the fact that the father corrected himself after misgendering his daughter just makes me cry tears of happiness.

Straight people love to blame the culture for their attack on us to reddem themselves. Of course It was a culture thing but It was a culture created by them and perpetuated by them. They knew exactly what they were doing.

You know what's crazy? My mom said that about me before she even knew I was queer. She said "You know, your teen phase was probably the hardest. Yeah you never ran away or snuck boys in like your sister. You never stole and we never had any big arguments. But all those things were familiar to me. You, talking with you was like living with someone who spoke another language. I had no clue how to connect with you, there was no guidebook on how to deal with the specific issues you were going through. And I think that made you more lonely. I just thank God you found friends that didn't steer you wrong." Shit sticks with me to this day as I raise my own kid.

As a trans woman myself… this scene just shredded my soul for the *love of GOD* this show is a piece of art

[@Wlfb01000]

Although I am a trans man, many moments also made me cry. This show is a masterpiece, nothing more to say.

[@mrterbia95]

I know Blanca had her ups and downs with Candy, especially since at times she was mean towards her, but I love that she still looked at her like a sister and showed unconditional love, even in death.

[@ohenriguedes]

IM DROWNING IN TEARS HERE IN BRAZIL 😭, THANK U SO MUCH CANDY FEROCITY. U'LL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN 🙏🏻❤️

[@lokena67]

This entire episode sobbing uncontrollably. So touching, beautiful and sad and loving. Wonderful farewell to a beautiful character. 🥰

[@Kingiwingi8713]

I love and hate this scene equally. Love it because it is so tastefully played and emotional, all the actors outstanding. I hate it because these stories actually occured and these poor women were never able to reconcile with their families, and it's so heartbreaking it makes me angry cry.

[@cheercats07]

I was crying so hard that my friend’s service dog came over to comfort me and then I started crying even harder 😩😩😩😂😂😂😍😍😍. Man this is so fucking heartbreaking. The acting is phenomenal.

[@ryanyoung9202]

🤣🤣🤣🤣😢😢😢😢

[@jonoanders9255]

I’m a straight male crying, we are all people😭

[@andreawilliams8795]

I'm crying with you 😢😢😢😔😭😭

[@jobybondmusic]

this scene was provocative, sad, and beautiful. i cry every time i see it. pose did a great job.

[@NikkiKNuvo]

Every day I aspire to be as graceful and accommodating to people as Blanca was. She'd stand in the face of someone who is tearing her down, with her head high and with the same, sweet and nurturing demeanor. Yes. It's a character but people like that exist irl. They walk among us, rare as they are. My goal in life is to be that. Not rich, not famous, not a "baddie." I just want to have a good and pure heart, light as a feather. 💛🥺

[@NamiBluee]

Yep this scene is so powerful 😭😭💕💕💕💕

[@charmingboi77]

I’m over here in my car, watching this, gettin all teary eyed...too often we wait till it’s too late to let the love out. We must love now. We must LOVE one another, as we were always meant to...❤️

[@starchild3740]

Crying now I feel just like her. Being a trans rejected by parents is the most painful of All rejections. By the 2 who made me who o am. My mom hated how I mirrored her, an since dad an mom never got along, dad couldnt take me either 🤣 But who doesn't wanna be loved for being who they are?? I can't even finish my comment the way I want so I'll just say THANK YOU for posting this

[@AutumnIvy1995]

Star Child You are loved! I just want you to know that!

[@thatsthat2612]

I love you

[@heydeanie]

Never forget you are loved baby, by people who don't even know you.. that's what real "family" is...

[@sarang.chavan]

Hugs

[@kawaiionee-chan9557]

NO MATTER WHO U ARE WE LOVE YOU

[@gerriserenity2726]

I just can't, this scene took me all the way out... So heartbreaking 😭😭😭

[@Zyryne1]

The love in this scene takes all the oxygen out of the room. 😊❤

[@terrancesaunders23]

It was good to see the dad more understanding so many times we forget how evil the moms can be!!!

[@arne.luciddreamers]

Can we just appreciate how Blanca handled the situation in the beginning

[@nomahelele3063]

Blanca character is the best of them all so humble ❤

[@ed9503]

Acting Masterclass. Every character, every word, every trembling voice, every look....every tear.

[@venusbradbury1491]

I lose everything when I her her mom say I miss you. It hits me on such a deep personal level, I love my mom

[@lucindagray8882]

When I tell you that this is some great acting..... Every time when I see this part that makes me cry 😢... love ❤️ it...

[@angelmannj]

that mother! oh god! "i've missed you!" that, coupled with candy performance...still gets me misty to this day!

[@bbsteele671]

This is/was one of the best shows ever! I wish it would come back!!

[@caglep.1348]

OMG thank you so much for posting. This is going to mean so much to my friend

[@caglep.1348]

You really are a breath of fresh air butterfly kisses thanks

[@Kiba151]

Why?

[@Kiba151]

Dose it mean much to a friend

[@caglep.1348]

Kiba151 Because his family disowned him for years for being trans. And they just have reconciled and are very close now.
