He got woke on trans rights before I was even out to him. One day he noticed all the Blairites in the local CLP were all pushing a similar line on trans people (a really shitty TERF one). If a Blairite told him water was wet, he’d ask for a second opinion. So he read around, and talked to trans people, and got a more informed view mostly in an attempt to call them out on their bullshit.
I’m just in awe of the man becoming a more supportive parent accidentally in his mission to spite liberals.
Hell yeah, boomer facebook arguing but for good.
Shouting down the boomer transphobes like a boss

You’re very lucky, if only all parents were as willing to deepen their understanding of marginalised groups, it would make it a lot easier for all.
