Yes, and maybe I am overthinking it, but it feels like the mother is forcing her to become a new male in her life that she can latch onto, would love her unconditionally and would make her happy again, after being rejected by several males in her life (her lover, the ex-husband, the person who rejected her after finding out she had given birth).That grandmother remark feels somewhat trans-coded. Expectations of retaliation against gender transgressions. Meanwhile she does not care for her in any real way so it's

I think it’s more meant to be her mother thinking her child is an abhorrent thing that doesn’t deserve to grow up happily as a girl or be treated with human dignity, but frankly that’s not any less transfem coded lmaoThat grandmother remark feels somewhat trans-coded.
