Here’s a thought: In an age where unconditional parental love somehow still makes headlines, isn’t it wild how that basic human decency feels almost as rare as a Mercury retrograde without drama? On this cosmic day—where the stars are nudging us toward empathy and understanding—it’s kind of fitting that Robert De Niro’s open-hearted support for his trans child Airyn is making waves. Sure, some folks find it “sad” that a parent just being, well, loving gets newsplay, but honestly, in 2025, when the trans community’s spotlight and support are more crucial than ever, Robert proves how simple — and vital — a little kindness really is. Think of it as the universe reminding us: sometimes the best alignment is one of unconditional support.
Some people have pointed out that it’s a little “sad” to see that a parent simply loving and supporting their child unconditionally is headline news, when that really should be the standard. Although in 2025, the trans community needs our support more than ever — and Robert proves it really is that easy.
