\u201cHey #transtwitter and everyone else in the #LGBTQ community. Just wanted to sent this short msg to you all. \ud83e\udd17\ud83e\udd17\ud83e\udd17\ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\ud83c\udf08\u2764\ufe0f\ud83d\udc9c\u201d— Dave 'SillyDrizzy' Scott (@Dave 'SillyDrizzy' Scott) 1570812975
Dave is a Canadian, a gamer, a father of two, and a loud and proud transgender ally.
In support of his 16-year-old transgender son, who began hormone therapy a year ago this month, Dave helped throw a 'T-Versary' party to celebrate, and it looked to be one of the purest, most wholesome things we've seen on Twitter (which is usually a hellscape) in a while.
\u201cSo this month my 16yo Son started Testosterone.\n\nToday he's throwing a 1 yr T-Versary. \ud83c\udf89\ud83e\udd73\ud83c\udf89\n\nmy kitchen is full of teens playing "beer" pong and having Mock-tails, and we've got the chocolate fountain going.

\u201cAnd since he's reinstalled Twitter to just read this. \n\nHi Son!!! @jaden0w0 \ud83d\ude1b\ud83d\ude4b\u200d\u2640\ufe0f\ud83d\udc4b\nLet the Rad jokes commence! \ud83d\ude02\n\nBut seriously, we're touched by the love shared here, in Twitterverse.\n\nLove is Love \nTrans Rights are Human Rights\u201d— Dave 'SillyDrizzy' Scott (@Dave 'SillyDrizzy' Scott) 1582410979
"So this month my 16 year old son started testosterone. Today he’s throwing a one year T-Versary," Dave said in a now-viral Twitter thread. "My kitchen is full of teens playing ‘beer’ pong and aching mock-tails, and we’ve got the chocolate fountain going. It’s a happy place."
Sharing updates throughout the night of the party, he continued:
"Lots of love to everybody out there, remember you guys are valid, no matter how you transition or what your journey entails. Stay safe everybody."
"We're touched by the love shared here, in Twitterverse. Love is Love. Trans Rights are Human Rights."
Whether you're a parent of an LGBTQ+ kid or not, everyone should be a little (or a lot) more like Dave.
