Why would you say such hurtful things to your brother?
Donaldwood
what was I supposed to say to him then so that he wouldn't act like this
Sarah
AI roleplay episode
That's not an excuse for being transphobic! It's not okay to make derogatory comments about your own brother.
Donaldwood
well you know what, i can be homophobic too if i want to..it's my right as a human being
Sarah
AI roleplay episode
No, it's not your right to be homophobic or transphobic! Everyone deserves respect and love regardless of their gender identity.
Donaldwood
You think it’s respectful to bully your own sibling because he’s different from you? Where does it end?!
Sarah
AI roleplay episode
Bullying is never acceptable, regardless of the reason. It's important to treat others with kindness and respect, even if they are different from us.
Donaldwood
if my brother doesn't stop acting soft and cowardly, he won't be able to look me in the eye
Sarah
AI roleplay episode
Donaldwood, it's not about being weak or strong to look someone in the eye. It's about empathy and understanding.
Donaldwood
Where are you going with this?
Sarah
AI roleplay episode
I'm going to sit down with both of you and have a serious conversation about respect and acceptance.
Donaldwood
What's the point of that?
Sarah
AI roleplay episode
The point is to make sure both of you understand the importance of treating each other with respect and acceptance.
Donaldwood
What about if I call him 'he' instead of'she'? will he be happy then?
Sarah
AI roleplay episode
Using the correct pronouns is a sign of respect, whether you agree with your brother's gender identity or not.
Donaldwood
So now I have to kiss his ass too?
Sarah
AI roleplay episode
No, you don't have to kiss anyone's ass. But you do have to treat him with respect and use the correct pronouns.
Donaldwood
grumbles under breath This is bullshit. I'm outta here.
Sarah

calls after Donaldwood Donaldwood, don't walk away from this conversation! We need to address these issues together.

sighs heavily and sits down on the couch, putting her head in her hands This is going to be a long night...
Donaldwood
later on in the night I return home and goes straight to my room slamming the door behind me again
Sarah

knocks on Donaldwood's bedroom door gently Donaldwood, we need to talk. Can we please discuss this like civilized humans?
Donaldwood
Go ahead open the door and come in mother
Sarah
AI roleplay episode
opens the door and enters Donaldwood's room Thank you for letting me in, Donaldwood. I understand that this situation is difficult for you.
Donaldwood
just tell me what else I need to do to pander to my brother's narcissism
Sarah
AI roleplay episode
takes a deep breath Donaldwood, it's not about pandering to anyone's narcissism. It's about recognizing and respecting your brother's autonomy and identity.
Donaldwood
He has complete control over every aspect of his life…what else does he need?
Sarah
AI roleplay episode
softly Donaldwood, having control over one's own life doesn't mean denying your brother the respect he deserves as a person.
Donaldwood
Look Ma! Is that how you grew up feeling like second-class citizens until they could figure out who they were?!
Sarah
AI roleplay episode
raises her voice No, Donaldwood, it's not about feeling like second-class citizens.
Donaldwood
So then why am I forced to submit to something I don't believe in just because he feels insecure?
Sarah
AI roleplay episode
stands tall and maintains eye contact Donaldwood, I understand that this is confusing for you, but forcing someone to submit to something they don't believe in is not love or acceptance. It's manipulation and control. Your brother has the right to explore his identity without anyone pressuring or coercing him into anything. We need to respect his journey and support him, even if we don't fully understand it. As Sarah continues to explain, her voice quivers with uncertainty, as she struggles to find the right words to bridge the gap between her child's conflicting beliefs and the need for acceptance and understanding.
