Ivy and I with Advocate Now

[@dollyinaustin]

What a pair❣️ As a 71 year old woman whose brother came out in 1975 it makes me happy that the movement continues 👏🏽. Not only that but it has been more inclusive and able to change. Peace, light, and Love ❤️ to you both.

[@MISSMADISONMEDIA]

Ivy has such kind eyes. She looks like a Disney pixar character, and has the spirit too. So sweet❤❤

[@tinkhix]

Yes she does!!! I love her face!!

[@Tavieme]

Oh my goodness she does look like a Pixar character … she’s absolutely precious 💋

[@brook_angel]

Love to see a supportive family. You're giving hope to so many people out there simply by being a good person.

[@CarlaRockmore1]

Always! So important

[@Saintloupy]

I really liked it that Ivy spoke about how the women’s movement and the trans rights movement have similar goals and are intertwined. I think so many people attempt to set the two movements against each other, and I love the calm and rational and sweet way she made that point. I love both of you, and I think you make a wonderful team. You’re good complements to each other; you bring out one another’s brightness and beauty.

[@CarlaRockmore1]

Couldn’t agree more! Thank you for your kind words

[@elysejosephs7302]

Nothing in common. Trans movement for a child is encouraging mental illness. Imbsorry, there are so many that regret this decision that is life altering. Social pressures from the insane fringe has taken over by shaming people to stop and deny all common sense. This can have devastating consequences.

[@queens6583]

I love that Carla and Ivy spoke about how this is a process that is ongoing and the most important thing is to work towards acceptance and support. This is important for people to understand that there are difficult moments (ie: changing Nate to Ivy on the phone) and to think through thoughts before verbalizing. I understand the fear of worrying about what difficulties Ivy may face because I have a 38 yr daughter with a developmental disability and I am always in varying states of worry. Thank you both for speaking out and helping other's. P.S. Ivy, I would raid mom's closet too!

[@vilmagonzalez11]

I loved how your heads were connected all the time moving to the the other one. That gesture said e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g!!!! How you shared your thoughts, feelings, struggles and decisions is something so powerful and brave. Love won! I hope the same for all the families that have similar stories and the whole society. We need more respect and patience to accept our differences.

[@CarlaRockmore1]

Absolutely!!

[@alainajacobson5521]

Everytime I see a video you do with Ivy or about Ivy I smile and worry at the same time. I smile because I love how supportive you are and how close you are. I worry because this world is so mean at times. These days there are so many people that feel they have the right to tell others how to live and judge people they don't understand. As I've said in other posts as a parent we want the easiest and happiest life for our children. I wish there was a way to protect our children from the cruelties of the world. As always I wish you and your family the best. Maybe people can learn from your relationship.

[@kathyg.2962]

I love the acknowledgment of a family transition. Whether you have a supportive family or you make your own, it's something that I feel you go through together and are stronger and more connected through it. Such wonderful positive messages here that can also be applied to other situations in life. Carla is such a positive influence in many aspects and has helped me to embrace celebrating myself through fashion and this is just another testament of how amazing she is. Love you Carla and Ivy! ❤️

[@algilmer3608]

I hate to speak for all of us but I have found that the closet is often the place where so many of us women first find ourselves. Its where we process our bodies, come to find our style, practice what we are going to say and how we are going to say it in the mirror...I think it's only fitting thats where the journey began! Thank you both for sharing your journey! It's not something that everyone has the opportunity to do and the fact that you're both so generous to share your individual experiences is such a push of positivity into the world. All youth need the support of their society, and I for one would like to see us all doing better to support trans & nonbinary youth.

[@SpecialAgent-zn1vv]

Love this💙

[@scmommy4539]

Beautiful mom & daughter! Beautiful interview! Such a good example of beauty, courage, & love! 💜💜💜

[@alexandrasmith7682]

As a Medical Biochemist, Ivy is absolutely making the right moves in her transition by not yet taking hormones or having surgeries. Before taking anything which could affect her fertility, it is a great idea to speak to a hormone/fertility specialist .... A friend's transitioning daughter was recommended to have the necessary things frozen for future child opportunities. Bless her, this is not an easy route either physically or mentally but having you 100% behind her makes the world of difference. Fortunately, she has also inherited your pretty face so she's going to be a cracker!!

[@TheOneandOnlyD-R-E]

Way to go Ivy! You are such an articulate and intelligent young woman and you have the best, most fashionable mom! You're great 😀

I stumbled up this video when I looked for a recently posted video of Carla showing her styling of tight fitting and a loose fitting rainbow dresses. I wanted to show it to my afab non-binary kiddo.

[@upperclass1287]

I love your love that you have for your child. You are a wonderful mother and fierce protector of your offspring. Please leave room for what might be later in life that your child cannot see nor feel now. Feelings are fleeting and slippery. One year one feels definitively about something and the next may feel completely differently with no one advocating for wisdom and patience. Grappling with what is irreversible is...sorrowful. Please leave room and options for the things your child cannot know now... 🙏

[@debbiecrum7585]

Carla, the way you explained as a parent,was both honest and forthright and refreshing too. So many parents freak out with their kids whether it's because of a sexual identity issue or a simple case of getting tattoos. They react so quickly, no wonder kids don't want to talk to their parents. Parents need to take a deep breath, reason within their own heart and mind, then patiently listen. Listening is the key. I applaud you for doing just that. I applaud Ivy too, for knowing what she wanted her life to be and knowing that Mom is still going to be Mom and it's okay to find their way together. P. S. Ivy looks like your mini me.

[@brivalenzuela216]

Ivy is so well spoken especially for being so young! Can’t wait to see what the future holds for her and I hope the both of them can continue to advocate for trans rights and visibility 😊

I adore Ivy ❤, She’s beautiful & smart & is glowing with happiness!! I love how Carla is rigorously honest about her initial reaction . It’s so helpful for parents , to realize that it’s OK to feel initially sad , that it is a PROCESS of coming to terms with all of it .. And a wonderful suggestion it is to keep certain things to yourself, your child doesn’t need to feel burdened by your fears .. It’s a precious & precarious time for them.
