"Y'all wait until @brunomars learns he can add more than one pic in a tweet," a fan account tweeted with an Elmo meme that is supposed to convey the phrase "mind blown." Northeastern sophomore Rhiannon Whyte. A similar sentiment was shared by students who spoke withThe Globelike first-year Darren Ng whosaid as Beverly Goldberg, the show's matriarch, and features Sean Giambrone and Hayley Orrantia as Adam and Erica Goldberg, respectively. For me, so much of that process was being confused because from the time that I was a little kid — from before I can remember I felt comfortable identifying as female. Coming from an academic family and somewhat hippie family, I think there was some tolerance of that that other people may not have experienced but there was no context for it.  It was simply a thing of "Oh that's what my kid’s like" but there was certainly not an idea of "Oh my kid’s trans." Like that wasn't there at all, I was born in 1974, it’s not my parent's fault. What my experience was mostly, was trying to navigate through life and make sense of that, of the fact that I was more comfortable identifying as female. As I got older that became more and more difficult because it’s one thing to be like "That's what my kid is like" but it was a different thing to be "Oh that’s what my 22-year-old who just graduated from college is like." I remember my mom being very confused why I was moving to New York with a suitcase full of women’s clothes and I’ve shared about it before but I have a history with addiction and it's pretty clear to me that that interacted with my denial around my trans identity. And the more help I got around that and more time I was able to put together away from that stuff, the clearer it became.
