Father Asks Reddit If He's Wrong For Denying His Trans Daughter's Request To Change His Tattoo To Reflect Her Chosen Pronouns

For parents of trans children, there will always be some adjustments that need to be made. Conflicts may arise no matter how understanding, loving, and accepting a parent is of their child.

Of course, we love our children unconditionally, but that doesn't mean things are always easy. And for this father of a trans daughter, things are proving very challenging.

Reddit user u/tattoothrowaway77 posted his story in the AITA (Am I The A'Hole?) subreddit. He explained how his eldest child came out as trans and now only goes by female pronouns.

The Redditor went on to say that although it caused some issues within his family for a while, everything is good now. He has also been learning more about his daughter's wishes and her new pronouns.

So, what's the problem? Well, the OP explained that after the birth of his final child, he decided to get the names of his three children tattooed on his arm.

The man's wife and daughter confronted him about the fact that his tattoo still includes his daughter's "deadname" instead of her new chosen name. They insisted this should be changed, but the OP explained that it wouldn't be that simple, and he couldn't really afford it.

Well, u/tattoothrowaway77's daughter wasn't impressed. She even went as far as to call our OP a "sh*tty father" and threatened to remove him from her life altogether.

The Redditor was left hurt and confused over the situation. He didn't consider his tattoo to be such a big issue.

So, naturally, he decided to ask the Reddit community for help. He asked if he was indeed the a'hole in this scenario, and (of course) people had plenty to say about it.
