I still get transfem energy... like looking in the reflector and being reminded of his male body and wanting to take the dress off a couple chapters ago?? That's such a trans experience
Definitely feels a little bait-y
I definitely think the mom has a lot of internalized transphobia :( I just don't get why the dad wouldn't help her seek therapy or something (other than for plot)
Dad is still omega based
My head canon is that the mom has an insane amount of internalized transphobia and lives vicariously through her "male" child; so when she sees him being feminine, something she despises about herself, it causes her to have such an extreme reaction. Poor kid :(
