Challenging Norms: Natalie's Family Dynamics Exposed | Real Pride

[@jenneljustus9601]

When Nat's mom took her shopping for clothes, that brought out tears of joy for Nat. I didn't come out until I was 35. I 'm from Western NY and I sold my house and moved to LA and began my transition at 36. My mom did finally accept me, but my father considered me dead, sadly my mom passed in 1996 Fast forward to 2012 and I moved back to Western NY after my husband of 21 yrs passed and when my father saw me for the first time and Jennel, I asked him if I could give him a hug and he said yes. From that time o he finally accepted me as his daughter and we had 5 wonderful father-daughter years until he left to be with my mom once again. ♥♥

[@Jobsgalore]

It is difficult for most parents to accept their children when they come out as lesbian or gay. Trans is a whole other level. Change is a difficult thing for most. Time will be Natalie's best friend and for the mother also. She is supportive but it is a big change.

[@electroman224]

@@Jobsgalore if its hard for parents, imagine how much more difficult it is for kids. i don't have to imagine because i know. parents need to accept that it isn't about them. they can have their difficulties accepting it, but those struggles should be kept private, and should absolutely not be taken out on the kid. taking out your own struggles on your children is just abuse.

[@katella]

I remember when my cousin and i were children (8-9), we were playing and found a suitcase of old dresses and we put them on to play. We ran into the living room where the adults were. His father saw him and went nuts. Screaming and beating him. It was really frightening. I hate to think what his father would do in this situation. I mean, we were only kids playing.

[@chrissyweikoop7931]

these people make it look like being considerate, empathetic, decent and nice is really hard. 🤔 also always love the claim that "the kids are gonna be so confused". never had that issue. they go "ah okay, so, what booger is your favorite?" and run of, eating sand. but i think natalie also has to understand that this process is hard on people, especially parents. it takes time, but you either get along, or cut them out of your life. thats how it always goes. i know of people who cut ties with their families because of corona debates. thats just how it is i guess.

[@naamakatz2963]

I feel that there is hope for their relationship. Her mother needs some time to educate herself and accept that this is not a choice or a phase, that she has a daughter now. It's tough, and although the misgendering and deadnaming hurts an awful lot, it takes time for parents to come around. Their shopping spree made me really happy, her mom will be fine with it in the future.

[@connorscorner443]

I found this through tiktok. Natalie's mum kicked her out and she was homeless for several years. Apparently her mum is a bit better and they message each other a couple times a year but they don't see each other

[@rest1585]

Is it really THAT big of a deal to misgender or deadname? Like I mean she still is a dude. No hate or transphobia. She can be Natalie. It’s just why does it hurt so bad to be deadnamed or misgendered. Could someone explain?

[@lynxlynx6685]

Im gonna assume that you are genuine in your question. "She is still a dude" is however not good to write (yes Assigned male at birth, not a dude). At least one part of it comes down to respect. The respect one needs when one has a bruse (or anything that does hurt or not quite fit) and have told people to not poke it (or force one to wear it) but they still do. The 2nd part is that this particular bruce is attached to a lot of pain (efforts to suite societal expectations to ones own detriment, or inability to suite them and being told off/ bullied for it). Hope it helps.

Kids in this position need mental health help. This new fad of in the wrong body needs to be talked out. Why does he feel sexually pleasurable in women's clothes. He is a boy who feels feminine, or is he gay? No one should undergo surgery or damaging drugs at this age. A recently changed boy is openly saying he misses his penis. Once you are castrated there is no going back. The drugs are also life limiting and body damaging. There are only two sexes or LGB all the rest is gender dysphoria or autogynephilia. His mother is trying to make him see in her way that he hasn't always felt like this, after all teenagers know everything and teenagers are like two year old.

Both of them are experiencing understandable, valid feelings. At the end of the day, you can’t let your self worth rely on validation from others, even your parents. And if you are the parent, it’s important to realize that your kid is going to make their own decisions when they become an adult. You can disagree with those decisions, but if you have no respect for their autonomy, your adult kids may choose to separate themselves from you. A little understanding from both sides can go a long way.

Once she starts her hormones she will really start being Ms. Natalie

[@TararyzeMcg]

And will never get off again😱😱😱

Honestly, I'm with mum all the way. She is refusing to cower down to lunacy. This boy i has been captured by the woke cult and hopefully he will turn around soon enough. I would also rather disown my child for this nonsense. Never! This is very good parenting. I sincerely applaud her. ❤

You are a sick moron.

[@jeffrussell7753]

Good luck and try to understand Your Mom's difficulties accepting You. This has probablly been part of You as far back as You can remember and You've had time to accept but Your Mom has'nt . ! Try and give her time as She obviously loves You .

Writing as a MtF now aged 79, having had SRS nearly 20 years ago, I totally see where Nat is coming from. I would diagnose Nat as being in level 6 in the Harry Benjamin scale of gender dysphoria & my advise to her would be to get onto a TS programme ASAP either in Scotland or possibly in London where Nat will find a large TS community. I would also advise Nat to think about what future jobs would be suitable & apply for a place at college or uni to that end which will lead to a professional qualification. That might sound boring to someone of 19, but there is nothing better than being gainfully employed so you can get to afford your own flat!!

You’re determining this from a 25 minute documentary? With minimal information of the first 18 years of life?

[@TararyzeMcg]

None of your business!!!!

[@roberttaylor2279]

Its nice to dress up as a girl. The trouble is if you do it all your life, you will end alone. This is what has happend to me and I am just a every day crossdresser.

I think his mum is wise and knows her son. This is a psychological issue. She hits it on the head about the attention seeking. Many "trans" people and gay people are attention seeking and its because they are insecure. Even a change will not make this young man happy.

[@monicadaniels784]

Thank you for that ignorant comment that shows the complete misunderstanding of this situation. You obviously don't understand or even care to try to understand. My advice would be to educate yourself before you write and thus prevent yourself from looking so foolish. I'd be nicer, be you are much too condescending for me to do that.

[@SodaCider641]

Shut up. You don’t dictate people’s lives. Neither does Natalie’s so-called mother. You’re just projecting your insecurities on a complete stranger.

[@katiegeorgeripia]

I feel for Natalie but I also feel for her mum. I just hope her mum comes around

[@winros]

Well, the Barrett's are a start...👩‍🦰

[@hadenanderson563]

Let Natalie live with you. Not one of you would do that. Be proud of her and change all of the rules, character, and values that you have ever embraced. And if ANYONE does anything except praise and honor Natalie, you must disown, condemn, and denounce them for being the evil animals that they are.
