When Adam walked into class dressed as Gracie I literally started to cry. It made my heard break to see him so confident in himself to being broken down to confide with his mothers ideals
Adam's mother does realize that the reason Adam was hurting himself before is because he couldn't be who he is right? She does know that forcing him to be Grace will only hurt him doesn't she? Maybe she doesn't understand that!
So true!! I think she thinks it will be easier on him to just be "Grace", but really that's why he hurt himself in the first place because he was forced to be someone he isn't. Also I think it's hard for her to except that she doesn't have the "little girl" she thought she did.
Unfortunately, not a lot of people do, especially family members. Personally, only one of my family members gets it correctly but everyone else doesn't and it's like they don't even try. It sucks because everyone says they want you to be you but in reality, they always call you something else.
Really? She is accepting - she supports his living/presenting as a guy, throws out statistics about trans kids (so she's clearly done her research), and fights for his safety at school. It's clear that this is very early in Adam's transition, and his mom just isn't used to it yet. Everyone screws up sometimes, but she's trying, and that's what's important.
I identify with adam a lot. I'm just like him, a male inside a female body. And it never gets easier but in time it will get better. I recently found out I was a few months ago. It's a shame that his character was killed off. It was a great storyline many kids are struggling with
Alex Davidson How are you doing Alex? I hope you've become more comfortable with yourself and are doing good now. I just saw this comment and wanted to say hello.
christ, i dont even watch the show but i'm blown away by this. this is honestly one of the most powerfully written transgender characters i've ever seen.
but im not gonna lie burning the clothes seems like kind of a waste?? like the pictures i understand but wouldnt it be better to just drop off the clothes at goodwill instead of wasting them :0
As a trans guy, this episode upset me, because I remember when my dad told me that I had to wear a dress. I hate those memories and I feel so bad for Adam.
"we've missed you so much" hold my earrings for a moment, please no really, she\s a great mom and all, but she should see the obvious signs that she's hurting adam
Damn it I relate to him so much, I've been living as a guy for over a year now but I remember how it felt. Around 7:20 in the video, when they start dancing the way he just stared blankly made me so sad, and how he just went back to being Gracie because he thought it would be easier. It sucks being forced to choose between yourself and potentially your family, but I wouldn't go back for anything.
She's a really good mom - she wouldn't support Adam living as a guy and fight for his safety at school if she wasn't - she just doesn't totally understand how much it hurt Adam to pretend to be a girl yet. She was trying to keep the peace in their family, but it's clear that she loves her son. She just messed up - everyone does sometimes.
For everyone calling the mom a bitch: she's not a bitch, she just misses her daughter and doesn't know how much she's hurting Adam. Throughout the show, she's actually a pretty great mom - even in this episode, she fights for Adam's safety at school and finally lets go of "Gracie" at the end. If she knew that forcing Adam to act like a girl was leading to his continued self-harm, she would not have pushed so hard. She's just struggling as well, and thankfully she comes around.
Adam should actually be happy, I know it's all about pride but some trans kids don't get protected and they wait till late and they end up hurt or bullied to death.
Well at least the school allows this my school doesn't its very accepting and im open about it but i still have to use the girls locker room bathroom and have to use my girl name.Well at least i'm not the only one going through this.
I don't see what the big deal is about accepting your child as trans. Kids make all sorts of decisions about their identity during adolescence. They might not be transgender, but they might change their dress style, or their carreer goals, or their music tastes, crowd, develop different aspects of their personality. Of course they are going to end up being different than they were when they were 12, but transgender parents are not any different in having to accept that!
I identify with Adam in the self harming because of dysphoria a lot dysphoria sucks I may not be a trans dude but I don’t identify as a cis straight female I identify as gender questioning lesbian. Idk how to label myself yet like Demigirl doesn’t fit but neither does cis girl
I'd be okay with Mrs. Torres for acting this way about Adam (my friend's mom was the same way when she had to start dealing with the fact that her daughter was really her son) if she hadn't flipped out like a crazy person when Drew didn't make QB1. I mean, seriously, it's because Riley was better, not because Drew was Saran wrapped to the flag pole (which still makes me laugh)
I know how Adam feels. My mom n brother wanted me to be a girl. An I said to myself i don't want to be a girl. I want to be a boy. I like girls and I want to be boy like Adam. Nd I'm slowly become trans
@dipsyhappy more like hollyoaks stole it off them lol :) because this storyline aired way before jasons storyline did but i must say it is quote awesome to see this subject being tackled on tv

DINOBRO. RAWR SAME 😭😭😭
"You don't have to change who you are everyone else does" Claire is such an amazing friend!!
Claire was the only person I liked during these videos

Adam: it's not that bad
Simpson: what happened to your eye?
Drew: with cheesy grin Football in the face sir lol
Adams mom is probably the reason he was hurting himself in the first place cuz she is so unaccepting it hurts
actually, she tried. that's more than most people. some kids get kicked out.
+anya maier Yeah but the forcing him to look like a girl and getting upset over little things people probably didn't help

hold my earrings for a moment, please

Glad she changed though she really is an amazing mother

Absolutely hate that mother.
+StayHappyStayRad you again then?
+StayHappyStayRad you ok then?
She's actually better then most parents.
She's a really good mom - she wouldn't support Adam living as a guy and fight for his safety at school if she wasn't - she just doesn't totally understand how much it hurt Adam to pretend to be a girl yet. She was trying to keep the peace in their family, but it's clear that she loves her son. She just messed up - everyone does sometimes.

i know it must be hard for the mother to lose "her little girl" but seriously wouldn't she rather have a happy Adam than a miserable Gracie?
ok her acting got better like 200% in this episode.
I always had my issues with Drew in the series, but he was a really, really good brother to Adam, and nothing can change that.
I fucking hate Bianca. And Adam is my favorite character. He has gone through so much. I love him!
Why am I doing this to myself I have to stop every two minutes and wait till my anxiety goes away
Thumbs up to Adam's mom for being remarkably calm about Adam's self-harm, but how ridiculous to try and force Adam into being someone he's not.
wow,this is so good...i'm actually feeling Adam's grief. good job.
This makes me hate small-minded ignorant people even more
Drew:football in the face sir. LOL
his mom is the reason why he's depressed
Adam should actually be happy, I know it's all about pride but some trans kids don't get protected and they wait till late and they end up hurt or bullied to death.
This is awesome
Well at least the school allows this my school doesn't its very accepting and im open about it but i still have to use the girls locker room bathroom and have to use my girl name.Well at least i'm not the only one going through this.

It's a big deal man
Anyone know the name of the song playing when Adam speaks to his mum in the car and also at the end?
playlists??!!?!?!
I identify with Adam in the self harming because of dysphoria a lot dysphoria sucks I may not be a trans dude but I don’t identify as a cis straight female I identify as gender questioning lesbian. Idk how to label myself yet like Demigirl doesn’t fit but neither does cis girl
@onebadgs400 Wait... Adam is selfish? Mrs. Torres is the one being selfish for being in denial.
I'd be okay with Mrs. Torres for acting this way about Adam (my friend's mom was the same way when she had to start dealing with the fact that her daughter was really her son) if she hadn't flipped out like a crazy person when Drew didn't make QB1.

I know how Adam feels.
My mom n brother wanted me to be a girl.
An I said to myself i don't want to be a girl. I want to be a boy. I like girls and I want to be boy like Adam.
Nd I'm slowly become trans
Claire and Adam should be a couple
Why does this sound like my mum
@himlover2007 that was actually what I meant :)
This girl doesn't give me trans vibes
@dipsyhappy more like hollyoaks stole it off them lol :) because this storyline aired way before jasons storyline did but i must say it is quote awesome to see this subject being tackled on tv
they totally copied this storyline in hollyoaks, this is exactly what is happening with jason in hollyoaks right now :)
