Oh my god how did I not see that Zooey Zephyr, the Montana house rep whose constituents know all the intimate details of his stinkditch, is another of Tony’s boyfriends. Amazing.
Oh Jesus, it is. Carbon copies. They're going to take small town bumfuck nowhere by storm. Did anyone see if Zephyr and Erin dating coincided with Zephyr's win?
Mother doesn't seem much better. Tony doesn't appear to have cut her off, either:
Parents of narcissist aren't always good themselves but man do I feel bad for his parents so far. He hasn't suggested otherwise. What is it like raising a son and seeing him turn into a self serving asshole?
His dad is a "conservative Republican." You know, a member of the party that is actively genociding trans people! Tony still vacations with him:
Based computerized text can't even be controlled by the democrat party. Wild misgendering abound.
Tony is old and wise enough to know that it's usually better to keep family members around even if you disagree with them, but he is happy to give opposing advice to people who are too young or stupid to know this themselves.
He's utterly punchable for being such. Only you and your family decide how you treat each other, not some dipshit who can barely remember to feed his son.
These thanksgiving tweets really give insight into how dysfunctional his world is, how exhausting it must be to need everybody around you to invest in a lie of your own making.
For all the emotions I've felt towards him, envy isn't one. He's got such a weird, shitty hand of his own making. It's pacifying to think about if I get too MATI over a guy who doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things!
Anyway, wonder if Tony can manage his way into political power via this relationship.
I wasn't aware that the way to fuck into politics means you go for the most obscure assholes from no name towns over 1000 miles away. I thought it was a local thing, or at least within 2 hours driving distance.
Fun note: Zooey is actually older than Tony, which is shocking.
Their faces are so sandblasted it's hard to tell. Erin Reed's face is so fucking big compared to Zephyr still, that must burn.
Another thing, Zooey Zephyr has to be one of the most AGP sounding names.
It's a really lousy name you give to your original character, donut steel, basically.
This just pisses me off and I don’t have a good way to say it.
He acted like he had cancer or another immune compromising situation.
He's just too weak, unlike you who can show your true devotion to transmotherhood by following his words! You wouldn't want to betray the family would you?
:story; Devotion to trans motherhood

.
I feel like it’s almost a status symbol for them. Like claiming your birth family was horrible and kicked you out onto the street makes puts you higher up in the victimhood social hierarchy, rather than just admitting that they were merely uncomfortable but tried to humor you.
Totally. What sounds cooler?
"My parents treat me lukewarmly now, they misgender me half the time and said I'll always be their little, well, deadname, but they still try to be a part of my life. It's so obnoxious that they don't see me for myself, they just refuse to understand."
Or
"My parents hate me. Dad threw me out of the house physically when I tearfully came out in front of him while having an argument over gender roles. He always was an abusive bastard and when I finally stood up to him, he couldn't handle it. Mom doesn't care, she's tipsy most of the time. I had to start making my own meals at 10 thanks to how little she cared about her family."
One's normal, a tenuous relationship but clearly attempts are being made. There's no real bad guys and the person telling the story isn't a victor, just a person. The other is you, the hero, finally challenging the demons that kept you down so long. So STRONK and BRAVE wahmen. There are actual people who fit into the later category, but they have it as an experience rather than an exaggerated truth or a situation they forced their parents to be in to fit their needs.
