I'm often told I have mama vibes too. Maybe because I'm literally a mom? Maybe because I'm super protective of other people? Maybe because I've become the woman that I need to protect me when I was younger? But whatever the reason, I don't think we're alone.

A lot of my transfem friends also endured a long trip through the scapegoat to family savior pipeline. Honestly, I don't think we owe them that, but at the same time, it just shows how capable and empathetic we tend to be despite everything thrown at us.
