Transparenting | Ep. 9 | True Trans

[@JazzLafayette]

"It's 'cause she's in a band." My goodness, Evelyn is a sharp little marvel.

[@MetaCraken]

itz cus shez in a baaaaand

[@Faunamusicmx]

This episode was so touching and so heartbreaking. I tried really hard not to cry when Laura spoke of the fears she had for her daughter. Fearing that she'll be confused, that she'll see her less as her dad and some new man will take that place, that she'll distance herself from her. As soon as the 'Two Coffins' song started, I lost it.

[@playtime20214]

I feel you, my god that's a fear. I know what Laura's talking about, it's like some/most (I'm not gonna pretend to be an authority) people think children need a father figure or at least they think they do and they have the support of an unfair society mostly. Love is all that should matter. She obviously loves Evelyn to death and rightly so. Why would you want some other dude to replace that?!

[@xuntitledx6991]

Laura and her daughter getting their nails done together is the absolute cutest thing i’m gonna cry

[@downside8204]

this made me cry. i love laura jane grace so much ever since i first heard her music. she is absolutely amazing and i’m so happy that her daughter is amazing too.

[@robertcrusher1972]

This ep has me in tears. Oh how I wish my family loved one another like Laura does her daughter. How powerful the mortality in the song, and the beauty of the gesture of writing a song for her that is not afraid to talk about said mortality.

[@adammiller800]

As an FTM and a parent to a boisterous 4 and 1/2 year old boy, this really speaks to me. I have the same fears and hopes for my child, I live in a regional town so it comes with classic small town mentality, he hasn't started school yet and im just about to start hormone therepy and as I look less and less like 'mum' (although ive always been pretty masc.) i'm worried it will push him away from me. Ive never met or seen another 'Transparent' and this really helps me not feel so alone..

[@aherrmie]

There's nothing that my son could ever do that would change how I feel about him. Nothing. I don't understand these parents and families who can turn their children away over something like this. This series has helped me to understand so much more than anything else I've seen or read.

[@michaelsieberg4216]

Parents that shun their children for being trans are ugly people that lack the courage of unconditionally loving them due to their own and/or their friends beliefs. Just because they're parents doesn't give them the right to dictate who they're kids will be when they grow up. That's being such an ugly coward, and my heart and best wishes go out to whoever is going through it, you are braver than I could ever be !!! 🌈✌️ and 💖 the 🌎😁

[@darkmoon66]

Why is it that someone is always cutting onions in my house during the last 3 minutes of this video?

[@lauren7318]

Sure she might get made fun of now and again, but all she has to say is "My mom is a rockstar. What does your mom do for a living?"

[@jillmarie3841]

Lol do you go on videos about trans just to spew crap because you find it worth your time caring about other people’s business?

[@Sperminski]

Jill Marie When I see BS, I respond to BS.

[@Proto-Martyr]

@@Sperminski How pathetic, mate. Using big words is not gonna make you more intelligent. The amount of ignorance in your comment psychically hurts.

[@Sperminski]

Culte Satanique Perhaps, but they do make the dumb feel more stupid. The depravity shown in this video makes me lose confidence in humanity. I understand you are fine with child abuse. Good, I hope it hurts.

[@craftingweirdo6498]

@@Sperminski Please explain. I´m just curious.

[@CreativeAnneUniverse]

THIS IS THE CUTEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN IM CRYING

[@Tigerpuffer]

...I really want a soundtrack album for this series, because Laura's solo versions of all these songs are amazing.

[@caseylewis8768]

Listen to The Disco Before The Breakdown. ;)

[@ceevishus4130]

her voice has always given me butterflies in my stomach

[@arabellamlems1168]

I love her music. She can both release all her seals and burst out a flurry of overwhelming sound AND play perfectly, following the song. Soul in music is transcending perfection, and honesty in music is like to unravelling the hearts of everyone who hears you. I can't help but to be moved by it.

[@Scorpia161]

omg i didn't know two coffins was written for her daughter i kinda figured it was for heather brb gotta go weep

[@otakuofmine]

Awesome kid and awesome parent, nothing more to say.

[@jpuc12]

Shes a great parent to her daughter

[@sohipimhop2980]

oh my god when Evelyn goes "its cause shes in a bandddd" hearing her say she made me cry. I am so hopeful for younger generations when none of this labeling bullshit will matter (heres to hoping, anyway)

[@perfectlycorrupt420]

This just makes me so sad because she is obviously such a good parent and deserves to live without fear.

[@Itsmebaileyc]

What a cute little girl :) And what a sweet parent Laura is!

[@gee777]

Your daughter will love and accept you for all of your life. Who you are will never change that. You are her parent and I hope your fears will go away soon

[@rachelflow7985]

As a parent we all have fears of how are children will be treated by others. Kudos to you Laura for being to open and brave. You are giving your child such love and teaching her acceptance. Amazing

[@vancey7604]

I feel trapped in the wrong body. This series is amazing. Now I know who I can truly be.

[@mycauliflowerrecipe]

i've watched all of these episodes today and this is the only one to really make me cry, jeez

[@TheFlyTransGuy]

Can I please hire this beautiful child to correct all of the people who call me a girl? :P

[@imheereimfine_7380]

Me too dude, me too

[@rabihbourji2069]

The Fly Trans Guy jesus fuckin christ

[@rabihbourji2069]

The Fly Trans Guy youre so gay dude

[@rabihbourji2069]

The Fly Trans Guy fuck you and israel

[@fairytalles]

This is definetely the kindest video I watched today. Two Coffins is my favorite song and I loved to know it was made for Evelyn. Now, it means a lot.

[@butter366]

I had no idea two coffins was written for Evelyn, that gives it a completely different meaning

[@meganbailey8539]

Tears. I wish nothing but the best for you and yours, Laura.

[@Coconutvr-r1z]

That little girl is PRECIOUS. “It’s cause she’s in a band!” Laura is such a beautiful and fun daddy-mom. ❤️

[@anon9110]

Evelyn is one little tough cookie, I can tell and the more she gets taught from a young age that transphobia is wrong, she will delevop a sense of justice and be the smart one in her class who sticks up for her mom and kids will probably use her anyway because her mom is in a successful rock band. What may even help is if her dad did a talk with her class when she begins school, not like straight away but eventually do an educational speech.. a bring my cool trans mom to school day.

[@corderazo00]

That song was DARK! So scary to contemplate your relationship with people you love from that angle, even when that's the very nature of life

[@raulsauce12]

If I'm half as good of a parent as LJG, I'll be very lucky. What a beautiful gift she wrote for her wonderful little gift.

[@davefisher1840]

The wonderful way you and Evelyn look at each other, really touched my heart.

[@shawntill]

Laura is such an amazing example of not just trans, etc but that we have one life and it should be lived in happiness and truth to yourself and the ones you love.

[@unslaying5039]

this made cry omg

[@lh2o748]

😢 she's a great parent. They both are lucky to have each other 💛, I really hope there relationship continues to grow wonderfully !

[@OhTheStuffMyKidSays]

of the series, this was the most touching... That little girl is a beautiful gem, and Laura is an incredible mother. Blinking back tears ended a while ago... letting them fall.

[@rcasey81]

Oh my gosh I'm obssessed with Laura. That voice, her story....I love her.

[@kurdtjohn]

Evelyn is a smart kid. Laura is so lucky to have her as a kid.

[@tonigrace7786]

Yes transgender people are parents (...and sons, daughters, husbands, wives and friends) Your world can and will change when you transition but the change is usually for the better! MUCH BETTER!!! 🐇

[@michaelsieberg4216]

Unconditional love is true love 👍✌️💖🌈

[@what-nd2vu]

This whole video moved me to tears,, oh my lord i love them so much

[@marmi7754]

I hope nothing break that bone that those two have!! #besttransparent

Laura you are a wonderful inspiration keep shining crazy diamond!! Best parent ever

[@caliecline6596]

I loved this!!! totally had me in tears!! (':

[@jaronlovely6276]

My attention is on Evelyn! Your goddamn right!

[@jacobbech8062]

Such a beautyful song. AMAZING rolemodel for that sweet little creature

[@seitanicmechaincmama8948]

Evelyn is so big now! Mama Jane is doing AMAZING. 🖤

[@jhellen77]

So your mini me - that dimple! 😍 I loved watching this, it made my heart sing ❤️ "Just 5 more minutes!"

[@tycoughlin735]

I'm not crying you are. God damn it stop being so wholesome Laura.

[@coolowlman]

This video made me so happy

[@caseylewis8768]

Dang. Makes me feel happy everytime. Laura has always been my favorite artist. Gosh. I thought me being attracted to the same gender was bad. But I have so much respect for transsexuals or transgender people.... That is way harder than being gay. (like me)

[@FlorenceFox]

Eh, I don't like playing the "who has it harder" game. It's certainly not easy being gay either. And, hell, some of us, like me, are both :P

[@dragonfly4470]

made me cry.

[@samwoodson9603]

i'm bawling

[@dudedude8931]

The heaviest of the episodes maybe. Evelyn is a beautiful child and lucky to have her parents.

[@alexlloween]

She is the best mother in the world ♡

[@BriansRainbowOverIreland]

evelyn is SO adorable and reminds me so much of my little sister

[@TheMisfit291]

Evelyn is totally adorable. I love her. Laura Jane you are an amazing parent. What is that song? I love it.

[@pris8615]

What a beautiful song!

[@wanderingrogue3039]

I can only imagine how much it hurts to still be called 'Daddy' even though she knows it's only because of how much her daughter loves her.

[@matthewgrant5653]

Your lil Evelynn is always going to love you and I believe that no matter what you will always be her parent. And hopefully as time passes discrimination and judging and racism vanishes and people see each other for who we are and acceptance becomes a norm for everyone.........

[@asfsglhkfg]

2:32 is such an adorable moment

[@LittleFishyFishies]

[@jaymzsmith3517]

if this didn't make you cry,then your already dead!!! LJG I love you 😆

Ok but my heart does for this amazing rock singer also being adorabel with a child.

[@celsoluizgarcia8399]

I am a 50 year old punk and have a 14 year old son who likes punk music. I introduce this song to him becuse it's wonderful and I really respect and admire Laura.

[@sgtmian]

omg, evelyn

[@macaroniheart444]

So, a few thoughts from a cis gender woman. When I stare too long at a person, any person, I am comparing myself to them. Sometimes I am saying to myself, 'that person has struggles I have never experienced.' And I am greatful to them because the strength I have is for my own growth and challenges and not for theirs and that is enough for me. When I stare at someone too long I may be in awe! I am jealous of some aspect of that person, any person, for being their self out in the world, as I perceive them. I strive to be myself out in the world, to accept myself. I am not sure why exactly, perhaps because I chose to see most people I meet as a unknown and try to be open, both my boys grew up with an acceptance/curiosity of people of every difference. I would talk to my children, I would explain things to them in a matter of fact possitive way. And yes as a parent I would be nervous, worried about how I may present to anyone I was curious or anxious around, and in turn I would mistakenly take on some kind of guilt from my own childrens behavior as if it were my own and be paranoid I was saying, doing, teaching the wrong thing. I am drawn to transgender people. I dont know why exactly but I believe it is because I have admiration. I have admiration because I think they are strong. I want to be strong. We are survivors.
