redseeker: fatsexybitch: loveisffandlattes: trylonandperisphere: Wow. The patience, kindness and calm communication skills. Outstanding. From raindovemodel This made me cry. I wish all situations could be handled as perfectly as this I just want to point out the core of what the diffuser did in this conversation They recognized that the mother was also expressing a vulnerable truth about herself - that she felt like a bad mother because her child was expressing gender feelings she wasn’t equipped to help with - and met her where she was, a concerned parent with limited information - to point her where she should be heading, research and resources. Im going to make more of an effort to stop reflexively pushing people away when they express biases and make more of an effort to hear the underlying fears when i can “it’s easier to love ourselves when we feel loved as ourselves” damn that is so powerful though This is so important. It can be so hard to resist lashing out at someone who’s telling you that you’re wrong, but it only closes them off more. I admire this person’s patience and willingness to meet this woman where she was. I have to work on that. -- source link
