Sometimes I think about how I might be as a trans lesbian mom. The lessons I'd take from a really dysfunctional family and a really dysfunctional society that kinda hates kids. It's not like I can ever really forget those, I have to go over all that in therapy for years. It makes the whole "trans groomer" accusation thing right wingers are doing personally sting a bit, because I wouldn't want any kid to be mistreated or manipulated the way I was.

I like to think I'd be more like a mentor-friend kind of parent than anything else. Something I never really got myself. I don't have any sort of framework to fall back on, no religious or cultural background that would have a complete guide for any of that, I'd have to at least partly invent it. It'd be hard to do worse than what I had, at least.

Part of imagining replacing this world is imagining what it would take and what it would be like to build a new one.
