(no subject)
just for the record, i'd like to state how much i love my grandmother and mother's side of the family in general. here is a brief summary of a conversation that my mother had with mema this morning in reference to two of my friends who have been living there and helping out since her surgery.
mema: "so do you have any problem with them sleeping together in sara's bed? i mean, i always thought that x was a lesbian just because she's sara's friend."
mom: "mom... you do know that y was born a woman? he's transgendered."
mema: "oh. OH! well that's better then i'll tell your father. we were just concerned that a boy and a girl were FUCKING in sara's bed. two girls are okay... by the way, is sara transgendered?"
mom: "i know that she has a male name, but i dont know much else."
mema: "that's fine. she can be whatever she wants as long as she doesnt turn into a corporate whore."
over spring break mema begged me to see transamerica with her because no one else would go with her. we went to the charles (because she loves the charles and loves the paper moon since i introduced her to them but again, i'm the only one that will go with her) and met my friend there. afterwards we were discussing it and we talked about how i know transpeople and have dated one and how my friend's dating a transperson and how we're involved in the transgendered community. mema was totally down with it. she then informed us that we should be boycotting target because they wont sell the morning after pill and "how dare they tell women what to do with their bodies!"
how amazing is she! i win.
