She specifically wanted me to date black women and have kids with one because she didn’t want “mixed grandchildren.” The odd thing is that I’m not having kids, and she, along with many of my other family members, have been cut out of my life entirely by now due to their transphobia specifically.
So kind of opposite of what my grandma wanted. She wanted her grandchildren ‘mixed with white’ because she believed it would make life easier us living in the US.
And I suppose it has’ especially since I have an ‘anglo’ full name.
It just sucks we are still stuck in a place where the closer you are to being white and straight and cis, the easier your life gets.
