I think at some point she did see her child as a child. The way she looked at her baby and remembering all the good times they had together were truly the most precious things in the world to her. A mother who gave birth and raised her child always want best for them. That is what makes it hard, not everything parents know is best for their children. And it grows more harder to accept the fact that they are the ones who will ultimately choose their happiness.

Sometimes it just takes time. Yes parents definitely need to respect their child’s choice to transition but at the same time the child needs to understand that parents will mourn the loss of that child’s identity the way they bore them to this world.

My biggest question when looking back at this, was when they could of compromised, Tasha's grounds were: "Maybe if you could tone it down a little." This could mean several things but, I know in the end -- Tasha is a woman who never wanted a child, she wanted a husband or a man to protect her. Elektra was not that, and maybe yes, Tasha and Elektra could of came to a compromise. However, in the end, because of the time period and what Tasha really wanted, Tasha couldn't accept Elektra's identity. This scene was powerful, all parties filled a good role here - Michela, Noma and Dominque. Pose was a really powerful series to watch.
