RE: What It Means To Me Be A Woman (What My Mum Taught Me)
I love your mom already. And your dad, you don't talk about him that much here, but I can take one look at his quirky raised eyebrow smirk in the picture you shared at the end of the post and I can tell I like him as well :)
What a great post. The family pictures you shared were perfect, the perfect illustrations for the points you were making. You tackle some serious issues here in gender norms, parenting roles, sexuality, but do it through a moving tribute to your mom that no one could be offended by. I love that these important issues are normalized in your post itself! They are not dragged unnecessarily into the spotlight, you didn't make a big deal about it, I saw the picture of you and your sis in the pride parade and your mom with her partner Luise and saw them as normal parts of a healthy happy family full of love and light - and that is how it should be! It is normal! It is healthy! Thank you for sharing your awesome family with the world. Resteemed.
Much love - Carl
Thank you so much Carl, I'm so glad you enjoyed it :) I'm so grateful for my weird and wonderful family. I'm going to keep writing about them and everything they've taught me and everything I was was normalised for everyone, just like you said. I'm also trying to get my mum on steemit so you might get chance to meet her (sort of) :) xx
Yay! That would be awesome if mum joined!
