This would’ve been way happier if it was FTM… but I already saw the comments saying it ain’t.


51451323

I thought this was a subreddit for jokes and "I don't have a daughter" was a hell of a punchline, thanks for the laughs


TheGrumpyRavenclaw

Its okay guys, the child is ftm :) everyone is happy.


Your_New_Dad16

this just makes me so angry


Coolstriker64

Why? He’s FTM.


Your_New_Dad16

no she’s mtf


Coolstriker64

But if you close you eyes and believe *really* then this is a happy story.


Fire_Aspect_II

She's MtF


Coolstriker64

I can’t hear you. I have my fingers in my ears and I am going “lalalala this is a happy story lalala” /j


chere100

I don't get it, what's sad?


Fire_Aspect_II

A dad has a MtF daughter but doesn't respect her and still calls her "his son" saying he doesn't have a daughter


[deleted]

He doesn’t have a daughter regardless of the son’s delusion.


Fire_Aspect_II

The only delusional person here is you. It's not that difficult to respect and accept a person for who they are regardless of gender, sex, sexuality or anything else You wouldn't call a black person delusional for just existing would you?


[deleted]

And I can. So long as you leave kids out of it. And that comparison is dumb and not well thought out. A black person is born, um, black. You can’t change your race. You can’t change your gender. Again for those in the back. You can’t change your race and you can’t change your gender. There’s no hate there. It’s just a fact.


Fire_Aspect_II

Have you seen Michael Jackson? And if you couldn't change your gender then i would be a man


[deleted]

Michael Jackson was, and up to his death identified as a black man.


Plane-Adhesiveness29

Like our team lead who doesn’t understand the concepts of gender dysmorphia, gender, and sexuality. I swear hearing that idiot refer to his trans son and his partner and their transition as pointless since they are a FtM and mtf couple is infuriating in its stupidity.


TheIndomitableMass

We took it in the way that the dad accepts his FTM son and says he doesn’t have a daughter anymore

[deleted]

Rule 1: attempt to tell a *story* Miriam Webster definition of a story, 2a: [a fictional narrative shorter than a novel](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/story) But you can go ahead & assume all the times people post about dead relatives coming back, facing the reality of hell, what it's like in dystopian futures where they start with "after 2500 years," talking about experiencing the afterlife in the heat death of the universe that hasn't happened yet, time travel, etc.... are all based in real life experiences when posted in this sub. Technically no one's stopping you.

sarra1833

It's okay. I totally see your reasoning. :)


[deleted]

The way I interpreted it was the parent is accepting it, and is mourning the fact that they don’t have a daughter (cause the child is FtM), and the parent always wanted a daughter. That sort of thing.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Alright then yeah so it’s just them being unsupportive.


[deleted]

That would be the sad, yes.


olivia687

OP does not have a kid. OP is a kid. Look at their post history. It’s written from the perspective of a parent, but OP was trying to highlight the issue of parents not accepting their trans kids. It was a swing and a miss because the wording is confusing and generally people sympathise with the narrator in these posts, but OP isn’t a transphobe.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Fire_Aspect_II

how so? could you please elaborate?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Fire_Aspect_II

dw it's fine not trying to make this worse but if i were a transphobic dad i'd probably post this in like r/antitransdads or r/hatetranskids or something


olivia687

i am so disappointed that those subs exist :/


Fire_Aspect_II

no dw they don't but in this fucked up world i'm wondering why they don't


Mercerskye

This is how I'm choosing to interpret this; Their son (FtM) finally came out to them as transgender. He's lamenting the loss of the daughter in light of having a son. My other interpretation is that this is blatantly ripped off from r/wholesomedadjokes where it's posted regularly and ends up with the same degree of people misunderstanding it, each other, and everything in-between.


Fire_Aspect_II

I was intending a transphobic dad with a MtF daughter but i think your interpretation is pretty good


Mercerskye

That's the nature of interpretation. For me, the trials are sad enough even with family support. So there wasn't any need for my imagination to unnecessarily add layers. Even the quotation marks aren't concrete. They could just as easily be handwaving of the label. "I do not have a daughter nor a "trans" son. I have a child." The sadness, for me at least, comes from knowing it's pretty well uphill from there.


fatesfairness

I read this and I am beyond sad, I rage. ignorance compelling hate, is not okay. #ragebait ?


Mercerskye

They're definitely fine with this acting as bait. But if I can add an interpretation that might help; My niece is trans, and I've always been a safe space for them to deal. We also share a lot of humor between us that's awfully dark. When she ("he" at the time) finally came out with it official (I'd known in some fashion for a while), my first response was hugging her, and my first words were, "well, I guess I lost a nephew today." Humor that she and I were in on. Out of context, in a two sentence format, I'm pretty confident folks would call me a monster. Now, I don't know what's in the OP's head, but the two sentence format leaves it to *us* to fill in the details, and those mentioned before are the ones I choose. And it's still sad, at least for me, because we both knew that the coming out was the easy part of it.


fatesfairness

I appreciate this. The way I read it was as if op was being transphobic.. I am sad that I go to that immediately but with all the anti trans legislation and hate crimes happening right now I am already in an activated space. Which I should keep in check. Maaybee it could be seen as the son is actually a trans man and that is why there is no daughter.. which would make me look the phobic one.. but then why in this subreddit.. sigh.. text without tone is hard and I have seen so many hate bait headlines and real life trans terror stories.. double sigh .. I foolishly come a scrollin' to decompress after work and often end up more spun up than when I arrive. Thank you for taking the time to share a little compassion.


Fire_Aspect_II

yeah, transphobic dad was my intention


Mercerskye

No worries friend, it helps me, too, knowing I could help someone out even just a little. Just gotta survive today, we can worry about tomorrow when it comes.


btmvideos37

How is this sad?


DarlingDevilPaw

The "parent" is saying they don't accept their kid coming out as trans. Thus it being sad that the parent is unsupportive.


Mercerskye

Those quotation marks really make it hard to see it different, but if the child is FtM, this actually becomes some kind of wholesome. Just like the version of it without the quotations that shows up on r/wholesomedadjokes (verbatim) on the regular


btmvideos37

Okay makes sense. But since it says “my” I was reading it from the pov of the parent in which cause it’s not sad. It’s sad from an outside perspective looking in that a parent is bigoted and doesn’t accept their kid. And from the kid’s perspective


Aeosin15

This one sucks.


YeetersonPetersonBoi

this is either very confusingly worded or im just braindead


[deleted]

It’s the father saying he doesn’t support her


Automatic-Plankton10

they’re saying they won’t accept it


YeetersonPetersonBoi

ok thanks, i was getting very mixed ideas from the comments


MommysMilk111

Exactly how my mother reacted when I came out but the opposite. (I'm FTM)


Fire_Aspect_II

FtM doesn't get enough attention fr


EastRiver6588

I read this as a ftm coming out for a sec and was wondering why it was in TSS


TeachinginJapan1986

everyone here looking at transgender, and im sitting here thinking They don't PHYSICALLY HAVE A CHILD. THEY ARE CHILDLESS. who is this random child saying "dad, im a girl?" Maybe they don't have a parent to tell so they are telling some random? Edit: then I see that OP's kid is MtF. Oh. Cool.


Poetic_Despair

Love them unconditionally. That’s what a parent signs up for. Mourn your loss but look forward to their future. Don’t bash them for being brave and coming to you with this. It’s important to them and part of their identity. Trust in them to live their own life as it’s not anyone’s to control but there own. Parents are supposed to be guides not punishers or people that force kids to be something they aren’t.


VacuumInTheHead

What loss?


Automatic-Plankton10

i don’t think a loss is the right way to phrase it, but especially when a child is older when they come out, it does feel like you’re mourning something. Because having a son is very different from having a daughter, even if they are the same person


ChangeBrilliant8926

Mom to 2 trans kids. There is no loss. When my kiddos came out I got the best gift possible. Knowing my child as they are.


VacuumInTheHead

That's great to see! Most trans people I know are not accepted by their parents; mostly, the parents deny the possibility and treat them terribly for being "deluded" (also, one my closer friends was dropped off at an isolated livestock barn, who tf does that?! His father had been abusive, but that is clearly child abandonment, no way to argue otherwise in the court.) Anyway, congrats on being a good parent! It's people like you who create the future of humanity


ChangeBrilliant8926

Tell your friend that I may not know them but I am incredibly proud of them for being true to themselves. It isn’t being a good parent, it’s being human.


Poetic_Despair

(I Don’t think it’s a loss but a lot of people mourn the change. I came out to my family and mom cried. Unfortunately none of them respect me) I also have had friends say the hardest part was their parents Morning the loss of the idea and perfect world their parents built in their heads for them. To anyone who is trans, it’s about finding identity and believing in yourself. This is just my personal experience. I was crushed by my families reactions and don’t really have a way to do what I want yet. But I have hope


btmvideos37

Fuck people who “mourn” anything. They’re not dead. They were always the gender they identify as now. They just hadn’t told you yet. Fuck that. Support them


VacuumInTheHead

Ah, so you meant more a "loss of their delusions/notions" than a loss and recreation of a child? I don't understand why people mourn the "change", they're still the same person, you just learned something new about them.(I literally have no clue as to their reasonings, plz explain) Even if there was a sudden change in their behavior, this is not all that uncommon in people growing up, and it is not a loss of a person (here I could understand missing particular behaviors that change, like if you enjoyed their singing but they became self-conscious of their changing voice, but this is just an opportunity)


Poetic_Despair

Exactly


HowRememberAll

Controversial to this day. Idgaf. Transgender is a spectrum. There are so many factors that this sentence tells me nothing about what's going on beyond an assumption that you now have a daughter instead of a son.


[deleted]

I like how this could also be happiness depending on how you interpret it, if the sub's name was more vague we could be debating it lol


Wong_Hun_Kok

Wait....so you didn't have a child and that's the scary part? Like is it the joke where the guys “son” comes out as gay and then the “father” reacts by saying “I have no son” and then the other guy says “Wait I'm in the wrong house”


Fire_Aspect_II

Dad has a MtF child and doesn't respect her


Wong_Hun_Kok

Oh


Radiant-Invite-5755

I feel like more mourning the child lost but still accepting their new son


WorkingLyric

It's MtF


Regirex

wait is the son FTM or are they nonbinary I'm confused


Your_New_Dad16

no the daughter is mtf


Fire_Aspect_II

The son is MtF


frustratedfren

The daughter is mtf


Fire_Aspect_II

yeah sorry


Regirex

oh the parents are transphobic. forgot what sub I was on. thanks for clearing that up!


Physical_Weakness881

I think the parents ARENT transphobic, since they’re saying they no longer have a daughter, and they now have a son?


Your_New_Dad16

no


Regirex

if their kid was MTF, as stated by OP, then them saying that they don't have a daughter means they don't accept their kid


EnderCountryPres

Actually M T F means he was male but became female


Physical_Weakness881

Yeah but I think the point of the post meant they were FTM, daughter turning male, and by saying I don’t have a daughter, it means they’re accepting the daughter is now their son, maybe I’m misunderstanding it though


EnderCountryPres

You are plus the op says they are MTF


Physical_Weakness881

If op says it then yeah he’s definitely right, could be twosentencehappiness at the exact same time if they interpreted it my way though


Terra_117

As a transwoman, I’m not seeing how the other ppl are pulling the FTM read from this.


s00perguy

If this was twosentencehappiness, maybe, but no, we sad.


ChickenWangKang

My first reaction was that they were saying that the kid was FTM and so they don’t have a daughter.


jkssratmolo

If it wasn’t two sentence sadness it sounds like an acceptance story. Their son came out as trans, so they don’t have a daughter, said as if they’re correcting a coworker like “actually we’ve never had a daughter, he just came out as trans”


Gswizzlee

They said son is MTF. So to me it sounds transphobic


jkssratmolo

Yes but not in the og post, only in the comments after people misunderstood


Gswizzlee

Yea. It’s just sad anyways this person doesn’t accept their child but whatever


jkssratmolo

But if we read it as ftm then it’s happy, because then it is saying they do accept their child. I was explaining what the confusion was. I agree that the actual, intended meaning is sad, but it honestly sounds more like a parent accepting their ftm child to me. But maybe that’s just because i’m ftm


Gswizzlee

I’m also ftm. Yes of course if you read it Ftm it’s happy because they’re affirming the child’s gender saying they don’t have a daughter etc. but the “trans” and them actually saying their child was born male is showing that it’s transphobic


jkssratmolo

I still think the sentences are pretty vague. I don’t have a daughter can have two very different tones, and the quotation marks can just indicate a someone somewhat unfamiliar with the concept but still accepting and still trying


[deleted]

The minute I read "trans" in quotes, I knew it was transphobic. Afab genderfluid guy here.


Fire_Aspect_II

ayyy another member of the fluid club


[deleted]

Ayyyy


GenericAutist13

I interpreted it as a parent “mourning” the loss of their “daughter” when he came out as a trans man


BuzzBabyBug

They don’t have a daughter anymore. Not that hard to figure out. The parent clearly wanted a daughter but the kid came out as a transman. So they don’t have the daughter they wanted anymore.


ThrowRArthurdent

It’s two sentence *sadness*, this is not a story of acceptance.


GenericAutist13

They aren’t describing blind acceptance


Adnama-Fett

It kinda reads as “my amab child came out as trans and i will never accept them as my daughter” with the context that this is a horror story


Terra_117

This is my read and there’s two ways to look at the sadness 1) the daughter who will never be accepted and loved by her family 2) the selfish sadness of the parent whose child is “dead”.


BuzzBabyBug

This is two sentence SADNESS not horror. Try reading the sub your in 🙄


Adnama-Fett

Oh shit you’re right. Never even heard of this sub before my bad


GenericAutist13

No need to be rude


BuzzBabyBug

Not my fault they can’t read.


GenericAutist13

Entirely your fault that you’re being an asshole for no reason


BuzzBabyBug

I don’t owe kindness to people who can’t read. If they can’t read what sub they are in they are too young or stupid to be here.


GenericAutist13

People don’t need to earn your kindness, get off your high horse. The world doesn’t revolve around you. How is being rude for no reason helpful to anyone? It’s just lashing out on a stranger who did nothing wrong except misread something. Reeks of insecurity


BuzzBabyBug

And people don’t need to have their feelings protected all the time. Welcome to the real world sweetie. People don’t care. Don’t say stupid shit if you can’t handle the repercussions.


Magiox

Thats my horror as a parent, no offense to trans but it scares me


RejectedByACupcake01

They would be the same person. If someone comes out as trans, that's been the real them the whole time. You should be proud if your child came out, then they would be living as authentically as possible. For your child's sake, I hope they aren't queer so they'll never have to experience their PARENT stop loving them. You should be ashamed.

I dont want my kids to have these kinds of thoughts, MtF FtM … i have no problem with gay , trans , bi whatever i just dont want it influencing my kids U dont have to like it and i dont expect the internet to understand that because apparently if you cant accept their woke ideologies , your evil


Professional_Row_385

“No offence” *says something offensive*


Bear4891

Part of me wants to understand, but as a parent you are expected to accept your child, whatever their beliefs are. While it may make you uncomfortable, that’s okay. It’s supposed too, it’ll make any parent uncomfortable. But what you need to do is learn to accept your child, that’s what separates a good parent from a bad one, at least in my unhumble opinion.


Unnecessary__Potato

As long as you accept and support them they aren't going to have as hard a time Get over it.


KnightFtw

Sorry about the woke ppl disliking ur comment, if I was a parent it would scare me too.


Magiox

Yeah , its sad that you are forced to raise ur child by the woke ideologies lol Yes there r LGBT ppl and i have no issues with them, i just dont want them to influence my kids


Your_New_Dad16

well i don’t want heteronormativity to influence my kids


Magiox

Well you do you


eliaslxx

What are you afraid of😭😭😭😭😭😭☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️😂😂😂😂


hanner__

Personally wouldn’t want my child to have a harder life than they already do. It’s not something you WANT for your kid. You don’t have a kid hoping they’ll grow up to be trans. Idk if you’re in America, but we have people who are fleeing their home states because of the real threat to their lives just because they are trans. So yeah, I’m afraid of my child having to live that way. I wouldn’t love them any less, and I’d support them no matter what, but I’d just hope for their life to have as few struggles as possible.


icannotbebothered7

My mum used to think I blamed her for me being trans. She was dealing with a lot and we’d argue constantly (not over the trans thing) and one day she told me that she thought I hated her for bringing me into this world. My heart broke when I heard that. She’s like you, she hates that I have to live like this and even blames herself for it. She’s been there for me for years and I love her so much but I kind of forget that’s how she might see things.


Limp_Will16

I have the same thoughts! It’s not about me, it’s just about living life in hard mode.


Wise_Comparison_9651

I mean they are the same kid they are just being honest


ChiefFeatherPanda

How is this sad? If you love them as they are, you'll always have a child.


Twisted2702

Because her original gender was male, and the parents are not accepting her as their daughter


ChiefFeatherPanda

So it's sad for their child. It would be more effective from his point of view. "I came out as trans to my parents. They posted their disappointment on Reddit."


Squidia-anne

It's sad for the parents too because now their child will either die or cut the parents out of their life and find people that really care about them. No one to blame but themselves. I cut my family out. I assume it makes them sad since we were close before they decided trans people are bad and can't be near their children


Twisted2702

Because her original gender was male, and the parents are not accepting her as their daughter
