In this video, a transgender man explains his role as a dad along with the challenges of being called 'ma’am' while fathering. He was explaining how difficult it is it to be trans and to have to explain to some people that he actually has his daughter call him “daddy.” He says that sometimes he has to weigh the pros and the cons of standing up for what his title is or what his authenticity is. He also explains that his mom brought over a basket full of pink items and toys and that it bothered him because he found it sexist. From gender norms, a boy gets the color blue and a girl gets the color pink. He did not like that, so he subconsciously was not including anything feminine into his child’s life but in reality, that wasn’t creating an equal environment, it was making it a masculine one.
