Beautiful, heart-wrenching, vulnerable. The stuffed animal reminds me of the love in Disney’s Dumbo. The mom’s trunk cradling her baby while mom was in chains just tears me apart even thinking about it. You are MOTHER. The alphabet mafia can obstruct, but they cannot erase that FACT. Stay brave momma. Hold onto hope. The women in the resistance hear you and see you. We will not capitulate to the dark forces.

This is beautiful. What a testimony to the love you two have for each other. The fierce, messy and oh so deep bonds that tie you and your daughter juxtaposed with softness. Beautiful.

Reading about that elephant made me cry -

It’s been ten years since I got a hug from my trans identifying daughter.

Thank you for your words - you perfectly express the feelings I’ve held bottled up inside of myself for the past decade.

Oh Mrs. Miller, you are such a great mom!

People always lament the ratio of steps foreword, to those back - but if the ratio is in your favor, then you're winning and you my dear lady are winning.

So well done, by you and Mr. Miller. She knows it now, but it will hit her like a loving freight train in about 10 years, when she is healthy, happy and in tact.

The power of a mother's hug, should never be underestimated.
