There’s a phrase you don’t see every day: transpwnds . Maybe it started as a typo, maybe as inside shorthand. But beneath the squished keyboard letters is something real: transgender parents. We exist. We’re raising kids, packing lunches, folding laundry, kissing boo-boos, and worrying about school pick-ups—just like any other parent. The only difference? Our journey to parenthood might have looked a little less conventional, and our gender journey often continues right alongside our children’s growth.
One trans dad told me: “My daughter was six when I came out. She said, ‘Okay, Daddy, can we still have pancakes on Saturdays?’ That was it. Pancakes. Kids know what matters.” transpwnds
And at the end of the day, isn’t that all any parent really needs? There’s a phrase you don’t see every day: transpwnds
When you hear “transpwnds,” think less about a typo and more about a quiet revolution happening in minivans and playgrounds. Think about parents who loved their children enough to stop lying about themselves. That’s not confusion. That’s love. We exist
I’ve written this in the style of a reflective, informative social media or forum post. On Being Transpwnds – Love, Visibility, and Raising Kids as Our Authentic Selves
