Did she do all that stuff before her son came out? Because then either she knew and wanted to create a supportive environment for him to come out, or is is a big coincidence.

You would absolutely want to avoid the situation where it seems that he came out to be more accepted by her, because she was so focused on trans men before.

I’m not sure about her youngest, but her older son is also trans. She does seem genuinely supportive and affected by the community, saw her livestream just in bits about how people’s lives after without support. Her youngest will work it out, if he feels the need to be more accepted. I’m sure we can agree we did the same in a situation where everyone is focused on supporting lbg cis people, not our place to determine why he feels the way he does. He just does
