Mom Updated Her Tattoo To Support Transgender Son
72Kviews
Steve and Lindsay Peace have a 15-year-old FTM transgender son. Ten years ago, Steve tattooed their three children, Elliot, Hamish, and Ace, on his wife’s arm. But when Ace came out as transgender to his family a year ago, Steve decided it was time to make some other changes.
“The tattoos of my kids took a couple hours each 10 years ago,” Steve told Bored Panda. “The coverup took a little over an hour as everything was already there and we just had to update the tattoo with fresh lines and the gender change. I still have to update my other 2 kids as the details have faded a little over the last decade.”

After her 15-year-old son came out, this mom decided to update the tattoo on her arm
“I felt that it didn’t reflect me very much, that it wasn’t so much our family, because that person didn’t exist anymore” Ace said

A demented family. A pile of garbage with the gene pool to prove it.
they have unconditional love. sorry you don't know how that feels.
Nice to see the support and love of a strong family.
This is how everyone should be, but they rarely are. I love this, seeing this on FB made my whole day much better. Hope you guys will deal well with what life throws at you. All my love to supportive parents <3
"Into the image they knew it was always meant to be" Oh my gosh! I'm loving this. Again, big luck to everyone involved.
How about a tattoo of their child that wasn't highly gendered to begin with? Slingshots to purple bows and a pink dress? Ugh.
It may be a reflection of reality and not gender expression bias. My FTM nephew was quite girly at an early age, then gradually became less femme. Years back, I would have been concerned by the tattoo. Then I worked for two managers who came off as gender stereotypes but weren't: the party animal man turned out to be a kind soul and the girly woman could be tough. :)
I love this but the tattoos are so stereotypical...

Hello! You are one of those gay-green-trans-homo-human-right-supporters++ ? Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot that you people are better than me in any subject.
you can be better if you try
Indeed! Glad you realised it!
If you value your faith in humanity, don't go into the downvote section.
God, I hate how some people try to shove the fact that they're different in everybodies face, I think that this post shows support, but when
Everyone either tries to prove that being different is being Bettie roof worse, it irritates me
I wouldn't consider it shoving something in your face. Their just proud of who they are, you don't have to pay attention if you don't care.
Ah ya know what I meant
Crap autocorrect bettor or worse
Did you mean bettor or worse
So you dislike individuality?
No, I hate that if somebody's an atheist or a lesbian or anything really, they usually shove the fact in peoples' faces
Hope he doesn't change his mind
I feel like I just saw you at the vet. Are you the girl, allergic to cats, who spoke to me while we looked at a black kitten?? Sorry that it sounds weird to ask.
Classy...
Transgender is ok to be if you actually think about it it's a gender trapped in another's body (depending on what they say they are)
Very cool and supportive. :)

Stuff like this becomes mainstream? Disgusting.
Ew. You're disgusting ya bigot.
If God wanted you to have a brain, Kate, he would have issued you with one, you sad little snowflake .
Yep, they are biggoted. Also, Kate, please for the love of everything, don't use your religion to justify being hateful. Because guess what? God is love. So if gods love, and you hate gods fellow creations for being created differently, maybe you're the one who's disgusting :)

Came out as transgender... yeah, suddenly. What can I say, pretty soon this world is going to be full of super-mutants.
Transgender=Super-mutant? Really?

Those are just words.. don't be so sensitive. I'm just saying how I see it.
Super mutants?... Because that's what's happening. Why did you even bother clicking on this article if you are just going to be negative....

Shame, poor boy. Must have been gossips and peer pressure that forced him (her) to be transgendered. :(
You must have an IQ of 60
Oh god, I really wish I hadn't ventured into the downvoted section :( I thought we were starting to become a more accepting country but the I see people like Kate and realise that there are still some pretty shitty people.
you are optimistic
It's not a choice you know
