go your grandma – The Chaos Bitches

wizardtwins:

oh by the way

i got to witness my grandma talking about me being a lesbian and having a not-male partner this weekend, completely normally, not stuttering at all or even missing a beat or saying anything insensitive or acting willfully confused or ignorant

also, she had absolutely no hangups on using my partner’s pronouns correctly (they/them)

my grandma is 80+

never let anyone convince you that its impossible to unlearn something they were previously ignorant about

my grandma sat quietly and attentively while i explained my sexuality to her and had zero problems adjusting to talking about my gf and i the right way

i am incredibly blessed and lucky but also… no one has any fucking excuse to not try and understand who their loved ones truly are. if my 80 yr old grandma can go from confused and worried to loving and understanding after a 10 min conversation, anyone can
