Why is it important that she’s open about not being initially accepting? Does she speak about it in a way that encourages other parents to be more immediately accepting?
I think it might speak to other parents who are not accepting? Like it shows that someone who also thought like them was open to having their mind changed. They might be more willing to listen to her story.
Update: I found the original article. It's very light on details and only mentions there was a time some years ago where Tamzin struggled with accepting her son's identity. Still, it's nice (to me, anyway) to see a positive development arc.
Yeah, I think that is nice! Hopefully it makes it easier for other parents to see that it is possible to change their minds and become more accepting
Yep and that there's no shame in accepting you were wrong
