It's a little difficult to work out what the current situation is between Tony and his mum, not least because Tony lies about their interactions:Oh, man... I hope his dad leaves him on read. Like, maybe glances at the thing and then just sighs and puts it in a drawer somewhere never to see the light of day again. You know that would drive Tony crazy even more than being dramatically or formally 'disowned'.
I feel so bad for his parents, though - this has got to be just about a worst case scenario for how your genetic contribution to the world could play out. As far as I can tell his parents seem pretty solid and supportive of his kids/ex, so I can't blame them too much for Big Tone.
noticed this [tweet] about how [Tony's] mum wished him [Tony] a happy mother's day (after prodding from his kid) the other week … But it turns out he said the same thing a year before too
Excerpts from Anthony Snr's email response to Tony's letter saying he was trooning out. … I was going to post highlights, but I'll just quote the whole thing because Tony thinks these are the "worst" excerpts from his dad's email, whereas I think they pretty clearly show his dad's love and concern for Tony. That Anthony Snr has remained part of Tony and Kiddo's lives until now despite Tony's petulant narc behaviour shows that as well.
I would qualify this by noting that Tony doesn't talk publicly about his brother very much.If he was disowned by anyone it was not his parents it was his brother Ben and his wife who did not invite Tony to their Covid times wedding and seem to keep Tony far away from their two preschool aged children.
With Ben's wedding specifically, I can imagine that perhaps Ben didn't invite Tony as he didn't think Tony could manage to be civil with their parents. But that's just speculation.As far as I can tell, Tony hasn't mentioned his brother since a family holiday in August 2021
Ben's first and I believe only appearance in this thread was this photo from the birth of Tony's son in 2015, standing between Tony and their mother
From I think 2019, before FFS.WHAT THE FUCK
It's a little difficult to work out what the current situation is between Tony and his mum, not least because Tony lies about their interactions:
Oh man, that's awful. I hope Tony's claim that they were close is true, but I'm not holding my breath, especially as:Tony's mom passed away this year. May have happened while you were away. His recounting of his last converations with her were as cringe as you might imagine. Instead of skin walking as his eight year old neighbor, he went full Norman Bates.
Tony posted on Insta with almost the same message he posted on Xitter. But he added a photo.. a photo that is from circa 2021. Seems a little sus he would pick a FB profile pic from 3 years ago. … He literally picked a picture that’s been posted in this thread.
Does he actually deny having been mentally ill, or rather does he claim (as he has previously) that transition resolves mental illness?Full email from dad is interesting because it seemingly confirms that Tony has a long history of mental problems, something he adamantly denies today.
As for [the panic attacks] stopping when he began his LARP, I find that somewhat plausible. Tony was (a) raised in a very judgmental and religious environment and (b) has admitted that being trans was his fetish. It may be that he suffered severe internal conflict over this. He "resolves" that conflict by trooning out: it wasn't a fetish, he was just always secretly a woman, panic attacks stop.
He could have avoided cutting his dick off by finding a psychotherapist to resolve the mental conflict at the source of his paraphilia, but that's not nearly as satisfying for the coom.

I think in the general case the answer is that it doesn't. (It's not like we're short of mentally ill trannies!)However, to your point, it begs the question of how transition can resolve something it purportedly has no nexus to.
Tony said:But as I got older, the spaces in which I felt free to be my gender shrank more and more, until the "fetish" box was the only place it existed. Shamefully.

I'd spotted before that Tony had expressed some Deep Thoughts on autogynephilia, and sort of passed over them, but I just noticed that he admitted it is a fetish for him:
It is also demonstrably false if you spend more than two seconds thinking about it. It is impossible for troons to have "always existed" when the modalities to complete a troon out did not exist before the time of the second world war.
even then they were not “women”, or understood to be so. They were seen as a third gender or just men doing a certain role. For people who are supposedly so sensitive about these things they really reduce different, complex phenomena into something “western”.There were people throughout history who were by definition transvestites, performing roles for other genders and yes gasp wearing dresses. But pronouns? Hormones? Surgery? No.
I can't help but laugh at this attempt by Tony to reframe his online behavior when he was a kid. It's not a sign of always having been a tranny, it was just part and parcel of being online in the pre-social media days.
Tony's description of his behavior makes me think that he didn't "know" he was a troon then, he was just happy to pretend to be a girl for attention. It was only after indulging in a hedonistic lifestyle that he fried his brain and decided that trooning out was exactly what he needed to do to be happy, using his previous fakery as a post-hoc rationalization for "always having known."
The very fast 20mm prime which costs more than the 28-75mm is a nice touch right out of the gate. Like what are you going to photograph with that which 28 won't cover exactly? Why not just get a nicer, perhaps stabilized 20something - 70something to 100something and leave it at that until you find a need which that won't cover? Lens + camera image stabilization will make a much bigger difference for most than an option to fiddle around affixing a super fast wide angle prime...Roughly $4,000 in photo equipment that Tony doesn't understand how to use.
I think Tony is terribly boring on Bluesky. No more spamming of his red-bannered "Fact Check: False" pronouncements in the replies of Leor Sapir and Ben Ryan, no more slapfights with Corinna Cohn, just troons with anime pfps and handmaidens of the NGO-verse giving him arse-pats for his nonsense and telling him how "brave" he is for doing this "important work." Even this most recent "article" about JKR is soooo low-effort: "Person our community has villified says latest terrible thing. Hear from me, your resident ideologue, just how terrible and mistaken these terrible things she said are." I wish he would go back to Twitter.... and this is different to how Twitter worked before how?

This is, again, Tony's fantasy where voters, including Democratic voters, responded to Democrats not being pro-trans enough by voting for anti-trans Republicans to teach Democrats a lesson about the need to be more pro-trans.
Tony would know, he was exactly that kind of janny he's talking about and still acts like it.
She didn't claim trans people weren't targeted in the Holocaust, she denied they were the targets of the Holocaust. The Institute for Sexual Science itself wasn't even targeted by the Nazis because it had stuff to do with trans people.
