"Oh honey, you're too young for this.
You've got a slender figure. You need a nice sun dress.
And pearls? Who are you, Lisa Simpson? A simple gold necklace works best."
And that purse is sooo last year
You say that, but you bought it 5 years ago.
And used it last night for girls night.
So accurate. 🥲
Yeah but its on a 4 year cycle, give it another 3 years and itll be all the rage again
Is that the one with "Goochi" written on it? 😄
Suddenly you realize you are trashing your own wardrobe.
Now lets talking about the earings, im letting you use your sisters but dont tell her.
Mabel's 😺 turtleneck.
Bitch, I'm -
I want this so bad
You and me both, girl.😸
“That handbag does not go with the rest of your outfit.
…Yes, I know it’s designer, which is why you can’t bring it with you to McDonalds. You’ll get honey mustard all over it.
Find something that matches and go get your shoes on. …No, not the Prada.”
A Dooney and Burke is always the classic choice. Understated quality that fits any occasion.
For some reason any mention of Lisa Simpson makes me laugh
I read it as drunk autumn XD
No, that's my season
Just like me fr fr
Fair enough. We'll send wine.
I thought that season was for all the absent parents. To remember them...leaving.
"Oh sweet Summer child..."
"Don't dead name her mother like that, she's trans autumn now. Just falls and leaves"
...look, I already typed it.
gasp did i hear trans autumn you’ve found me
Sending wine
Me too. I have no idea why.
Reminds me when my mom packed my bag for a Toronto trip with the school band while I was at band practice. She put her black dress in (on top of my formal clothes I needed), not expecting me to open the bag before leaving. I put it on and asked her what I was supposed to do with no boobs to hold it up. She had to call her sister back from laughing too much.
You really gave him a thorough dressing down.
reminds me of when my kids were little - and everyone wanted to wear the tutu.
I was only happy of them growing out of that as we only had one that would get fought over.
The high-stakes zero-sum tutu game. A rivalry they will never forget.
It is fortunate that they are adults now, and buy whatever tutu they might want.
Truly
To this very day I want a hoop skirt.
I have friends who will verify that they look great, but impossible to get around in. damn things will get crushed and ruined just be trying to wear them in the car.
They have to get onsite, then get dressed and change back when the day is over. Expect to knock stuff over all day, all of it will be below your hips, and just outside of your peripheral vision.
you'll still want to wear leggings if it's cold, and find a way to stuff cold packs under it if it is summer.
Historical reenactment is fraught with stuff like this.
But I will look so pretty and twirly
Life is short. Get yourself a damn hoop skirt and twirl to your heart’s content.
You make a very persuasive argument!
The red dress is a much better color, and looks like it will fit better, but oof those puffy sleeves.
What you got against puffy sleeves? They go whoosh
Maybe it's old trauma from the 80s, but I remember those sleeves being so uncomfortable. I wore them as a flower girl and hated them.
One thing I’ve learned about clothing over the years; if something is uncomfortable, someone screwed up tailoring it to you
Good point. Those flower girl dresses were hideous anyway. The epitome on 1980s "make your bridal party look stupid so the bride looks good" fashion.
Either that or the bride thought it was adorable because they were still high from the 70s
I need to find pictures from my mother’s first wedding, her bridesmaids looked like something out of the Nutcracker Suite, complete with a very weird headpiece that looked like a wilted, upside down flower. It would not have looked out of place in those old Victorian-era paintings of fairies in children’s books 😂
I mean, trying to look like Victorian era paintings of fairies goes kinda hard, Ngl
If that was her goal, it would have been perfect!
Ugh, capped sleeves have been thrust upon me many times as a bigger lady growing up in the 90’s. God forbid somebody know that I have big arms attached to the rest of my big body 🙄
80s poof was unlike any modern poof.
Literally me and my mom.
She’s still pissed that I look better in women’s jumpsuits than her.
Hehehe same
My mom gives me her old clothes and then gets mad when they fit better on me XD
"GET THE HELL OUT OF THAT DRESS RIGHT NOW!. Do you know how much I paid for that thing and you just have it dragging on the ground?! And look at this, it doesn't even fit you around the waste. It's at least 3 sizes too big."
"sorry mom"
"here try this one on, it's from when I was in high school."
"That was sooo long ago, why do you still have it?"
"I WILL FIT IN IT AGAIN SOME DAY! now go put it on and lets see how it looks."
Why tf is he wearing that dress, it’s treading across the floor smh. Return it for a size lower.
This comment has the exact same arc and pacing as the comic 😂
Good parenting.
When my Good ol Boy Father caught me strutting around the hall in my mother's clothes I was beaten til I woke up in the hospital.
Would have preferred a swatch test. I'm a beautiful lady after all.
I'm so sorry that happened to you :( 💔
Thank you. But your interactions with your child, fictional or otherwise, Are a better light than any sorry could reach a scared little girl who no longer exists.
Because solace comes better when I know there will be less scared little girls like I was. Solace is knowing there are more parents every generation doing better. And our better is nowhere near the better the next gen of parents will be to theirs.
Hurt people hurt people. My father was hurt. That doesn't condone what he did. But it is reserved as a lesson that just because he hurt me that doesn't allow me to pass that buck to my niece or nephew. To friends and lovers. To any one but me.
In short. Not a sorry to me. But a thank you to you is in order.
i knew not to try that in front of my dad.
my fingers are weird. not like any kind of disability, but, like. i can't bend my ring finger without my pinky moving. i can't really count on my fingers 1, 2, 3, like normal people cause the muscles aren't the same as normal.
so i used to have my pinky hanging out a lot. just kind of floating up there
my dad used to rubber band my pinkies to my ring fingers so i wouldn't hold my pinky out. cause having your pinky out was gay and he didn't want me being gay. and, apparently, holding my pinky like that as a 5 year old would change my sexuality in the future.
Damn, what a garbage father
And this is why teachers and professionals are against the government forcing schools to out students to parents.
I'm sorry that happened, hope things are better.
PaReNtS kNoW bEsT
Holy what?! I hope your father got some sort of repercussion for doing that
If anything like where I grew up there wasn't any:( I knew a couple of people my age as a kid who 'had it beaten out of them'. One person (older than me) was found dead on the side of the road and no one was ever found who was involved. Though people bragged till maybe 15 years ago about how they would beat the person for wearing a dress.

In the 90s?
No sadly. Will and grace hadn't even made us funny yet.
The most he ever got for DV was some time in the barracks and a strong talking to from the chaplain.
He's dying alone though, and in his waning mind I want him to know why
Tell me you’re young without telling me you’re young.
Wait was it reference to something? Now I feel kinda stupid
No, I’m just saying abuse being bad parenting and criminal is a newer thing. Abuse used to just be “parenting” and “a private matter” especially in the matter of LGBTQ+ kids.
Yeah, although no beatings (as far as I remember) took place, my parents didn't appreciate me in my older sister's clothes when I was younger either lol
I’m so sorry that happened to you. Sadly I have similar experiences as a child of abuse.
May you outlive him with a life well lived
My dad has always said to me if I ever decide I'm a woman then I better be the best looking woman out there
Oh man. Better not let Eagle-shirt guy see this one.
Honestly though, how do you think Ellen even deals with the pressure of potentially conservative family members seeing her online content given the traction she's been getting for a while now?
She's based in Canada, and even their conservatives understand they have to be "Canada Nice"
Maybe a decade ago.... now we have candidates going all-in on transphobia.
I wanna sound ignorant, but from an American perspective of a boring ass two party system, Canadian politics sounds batshit insane lowkey. My semi-ironic impression is that you have 3 governing bodies: Oil, French people, and Indians
Canadian Conservatives have been adopting the tactics of American conservatives for years now, they've dragged the quality of our politics down considerably and they show no signs of letting up
Oil would LOVE it if they could pin all this on the French and the Natives. everyone else.
Pretty sure you’re not supposed to assume natives when somebody says Indians. I guess it depends on the context but still
Even in context, does it make any more sense? I've been reading pre-confederation history lately so when you put French/Indians in the same sentence my brain crossed some wires.
I was making a joke about how big oil owns everything and pretends our problems are everyone else's fault.
I don’t wanna sound ignorant
Then you may want to just delete your comment, because.... mission failed. lol.
I’ll edit to say I wanna sound ignorant
Idk about that, given the schtick in Ottawa a while back.
Every time I wear the one purple dress I have, everyone tells me it’s a good color on me.
Wish I knew what that meant.
Do you just not have any coordination abilities with your outfits? It's a serious problem I have myself, but as someone who only wears jeans and tshirts / being a man it isn't a social issue.
Different colors will cause different aspects of your body to be accented more or less. Could be your skin tone looks nicer in purple, or maybe it causes your hair to look nicer, or makes your eyes 'pop'. Two shirts that are exactly the same but different colors can even cause your figure to look different. As in black often looks slimming.
*I'm pretty sure there is a sub where you can post photos of yourself and people will give you advice on what to wear. Whenever I run across it accidently it always seems very wholesome.
There's a time when even a male need to feel beautiful.
Like a bird.
yeah even straight males go through this as kids, wanting to try on women's clothing and make up. It's all part of the experimentation that kids do to try to figure out who they are, some 'grow out of it' and some 'grow into it'.
I used to wear my moms heels around the house as a kid
I think she’s still jealous I rocked them better than she ever could
Can I like you even more than I do Ellen? Yes, yes I can indeed.
That's good parenting right there.
Saw something like this irl, family of 6, 4 kids, only one a male, one day with me right there he asks his dad to have a doll to play with his sisters.
Don't you think having 3 sisters would make a kid desire to play with them?! Just buy him a fucking doll! It's not like it would be worse to have a kid who enjoys feminine stuff instead of one who hates you for not letting him play with his sisters!
It's stupid even if I was actually close minded!
Reminds me of when I was a young kid in the 80s and my friend and I would dress up for our parents and make a fashion show. Its great that this is more normalized today since its just such an normal thing to do for most kids.
Mmm dark autumn? I need to acquire knowledge. Whats this?
Many of you are missing the point. It doesn’t matter if the boy is actually a girl, feminine/gay, or just playing dress up games. It’s just nice to see someone treat it as mundane because it doesn’t need to matter or set off alarm bells, she’s not endorsing it, just letting him/them be a kid. It’s super important not to repress those feelings because they will figure it out on their own later and it’s not fun to have your parents not support what should ultimately be trivial.
Repressing your children: ❌ Helping them with what they want to be: ✔️
supportive mom W
I wish that had been my mom's reaction.
You okay, girl?
Thanks for asking. As good as any other trans girl I guess?
Love it but I think the right wingers are going to go apeshit. Have some popcorn OP!
Those ears! 🥰🥰🥰
They can die mad about it
The fight is gonna go crazy
Considering every pizzacake comic is put into "community only" mode by the mods, I doubt you'll see anything like that. I'm not sure if it's even acceptable to say anything negative about the comics anymore.
Oh that's fr my mom she has many accessories to point I take some and use it and when she finds out she's just you could've asked. There was also that time I took one of her dress and started strutting down the house feeling like those rich ladies who own the house and she fr said no not that dress wear this one instead and added some accessories

But it's too close in hue to his shirt...
Perfect parenting
(I dont know what more to say)
Oh boy. Can't wait to see the Facebook comments. I hope you posted it over there when i come home. :D
Pizza cake is a trans ally confirmed

I just want you to know that I did this once as a kid. My mom convinced me to do it again but took a picture. And would show it to everyone for years, and that was basically the last time I ever trusted her.
My 7 year old son takes my old t-shirt maxi dresses and plays some weird version of Legend of Zelda that he made up in his head.
I really like that kid.
"There won't be any dripless person under my roof!"
Man? Woman? Drip is all that matters
Best mom ever!
I dont have to conform to your aesthetically pleasing normative ways, mom!!
Maybe this is because I moderate on the lgbt and trans subreddits, but I'm always worried that I'll come to a subreddit that doesn't focus on minorities, it'll have a post that makes vague/direct comments about lgbt/trans people, and then there'll be a lot of... Not fun stuff to see in the comments.
Point being that I appreciate that the mods here are so active, and that the comments have been relatively tame all things considered. I appreciate that a lot.
Also, I agree, daark autumn definitely fits way better on their skin tone, though they can definitely rock the blue if they try ;3
I got really lucky. I was raised in the conservative evangelical home. When I was playing and put on my mom's clothes, she just laughed and thought it was cute. Didn't make a big deal out of it. Dad thought the same thing.
He needs something that sparkles! It is Magpie Monday!
I know kids can be adopted, but can parents be adopted?
With consent
Trans supportive, in my mainstream artists???
Love it, thank you so much sweetie!!!
I’m glad more parents are open to letting their kids explore their identity. As a young boy with no male relatives I’ve always wanted to paint my nails or try makeup like all my childhood role models.
I was always told “that’s only for girls”, or “other boys won’t want to be friends if you do that.”. Turns out my mom was extremely homophobic, and didn’t want me playing with dolls or anything like that because it would “turn me gay.” So jokes on her when I ended up being gay anyway. So all I was robbed of was key bonding experiences with my family, and feeling ostracized by all the women I grew up with.
Let your kids have fun, if they don’t like something they can always wash it off or remove it. And if they end up finding something they enjoy you have a new hobby to share with them.
since i transitioned, like a good 30% of my closet is stuff that used to be my mom’s. then another 40% was my sister’s, and the last 30% was my ex-fiancé’s lmao
You're gonna make me cry
What is a "Dark Autumn" in fashion terms and how is it used to choose good fit and styles of clothes.
Nooo cools good with his skin tone 😭😭🤣
dark automn looking fire on him
Getting reposted to r/egg_irl 2000 times
This is cute, I approve
ITT...discovering that there are some wonderful parents out there who actually exist.
Pizza cake says trans rights??
I wish this was me
Is he actually your son, or does he just call you mom to avoid child labour allegations from the IRS?
Dear god the wholesome levels are off the charts we need smt awful stat!
The pacing of this reminds me of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine addressing gender queer concepts.
"I am wary." followed by "Okay, this is respectful."
Glad you are supportive <3:
I thing the most important thing people are missing is also the most obvious :
What is going on with that hemline??? This isn't the 1900s, kid! One step and your goners for sure!
A true ally
You’re right. The blue of that dress totally clashes with his eyes.

Amazing! We’re not there yet but my youngest gets loves pretending to be video game characters and one of his favorites is Princess Peach, or a cat.
Yaaaay I'm a fan of pizza cake again!

Took me a minute to figure out what was happening haha. I like it though, humorous way of encouraging trans rights
I don’t think this is even specifically about supporting trans rights, more like just allowing kids free expression and not forcing gender conforming stereotypes onto them.

He wore autumn colors underneath.
Kids discovering life and experimenting. I'd leave him be. I'd be in the way if I was discouraging or encouraging.

I disagree. good parenting is interacting with their kids experimentation processes and helping them through it. It's just a matter of the parents being mature about it, and helping the kids understand what they are feeling (because when we are left on our own to figure out our feelings we take wayyyy tooo long to do it).
A parent saying 'no that's the wrong dress for you, try this one' isn't harmful at all. And as long as it isn't the only attention the parent gives the kid (it likely won't be if the parent acts like this) then the kid isn't going to imprint on the concept of 'I'm only shown love/attention when I wear a dress. So I'm going to really enjoy wearing a dress so I receive attention'.
Dark Autumn? I love that movie! Dwight “the Stone” Swanson is my favorite!
