Defied parents' expectations on education and politics

My parents tried to dictate how I raise my children, bringing up trans people and misinformation. I stood up for myself and my values.

What I wish I knew
"How to handle confrontations with family members who hold different views"
If I could tell you one thing
"Set clear boundaries and stand up for yourself when discussing sensitive topics with family."
