I posted the video to show that it isn’t a generational issue—that being old isn’t an excuse to be unsupportive of family you are supposed to love.”Related: Why Is It Still Okay for Cis People to Debate Transmasculinity?In fact, Cazorla’s caption on the video refers to his grandfather as “the only one who has never messed up.”“It’s reasonable that people mess up your pronouns or accidentally deadname you when you come out, but he didn’t have any issue.
