Can I say I envy you? I feel like I’m a lousy mother as I don’t even mention the Trans word anymore in front of my daughter (19 declared her “identity” 18 months ago and started testosterone in Dec ‘23) her angry and sometimes vicious verbal attacks have crushed me into silence. I’ve got all the books you mentioned plus many more, I watch all the podcasts I can but she told me the other day she’s happy with where she is with “her” trans stuff (a deepening voice, facial hair and much hairier legs) I washed her latest chest binder the other day and didn’t realise what it was at first as it looks like a tank top (the old one looked like a midriff top.) She rants at me about freeing Palestine from the Israeli oppressors knowing I don’t agree and I support the Jewish People. I keep my mouth shut most of the time but occasionally lose it and she calls her older sister and tells her she wishes Dad would divorce me and she’d be glad if I died!
I always taught my daughter the evils of antisemitism. But now that we’re estranged and she’s blocked me from her instagram page I discovered the anti Jewish crap that her girlfriend was posting. I was shocked to the core. I’m worried that my daughter might have picked up antisemitic ideas from her. I hope not but all her friends seem pro Hamas 😡
Adult child should do her own laundry. I mean if she has a job and pays you to do it, I understand. But I doubt that is the case.
Edit to add, the Palestinian activism is Qatar paid for social media campaigns. If the kids were actually educated and concerned about genocide they'd talk about Darfur. https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/darfur
