I recently came out as trans to my Mum and she said that “I don’t love who you look like, I love you, and if you think that what you look like isn’t you then that’s ok and I will love you anyway.”

I’m not crying you’re crying! 😍
Wow, your mum is awesome! I'm still terrified to come out and I'm still trying to gain the confidence to tell professional people who can help me out. Good luck on your journey!
I literally just came out to my parents, so thanks
Your mom's much better than mine. Mine was and continues to be "I love you no matter what but your 'life choices' go against my beliefs and I refuse to call you your name or my daughter". Paraphrased, but yeah. I think she might be trying to manipulate me by giving me money and gifts but it's not working. I only keep in contact because at the very least she generally avoids naming me or gendering me over the phone.
I wish there was a big chance my parents would say that. But there are no chances for this. Sorry, but not everybody here are living in the USA, where are high chances for having liberal and tolerant family. And for good of some trans, the truth is that not everyone should hear that. That can only make them coming out too soon to their parents, effect badly and lead them to be more depressed.
hell of a lot nicer than what I got ;-;
You have a good mom, mine deathbame me at a rate she never does before she dont knowe my dysphoria and always use he pronoun, so i finish whit no support of family, but well i have the luck to be old person (38y) so i can live whit out this family.
I wish my mom thought the same way. Her answer to me was… let’s say worse.
Yup
