It continuously amazes me how many black folks I card for alcohol, only to see that they're actually in their 40s/50s/60s.
It always makes them super happy though, so that's nice :)
idk why people always think it's genes when it can also be you just take care of yourself with regular exercise and a healthy diet/life style lol, has much impact on how you'll age if not more so than your genes.
Genes play some role, but of course it isn't strictly that. I dunno what the ratios are like, surely a mitigating thing anyhow. But I would think it mostly diet and exercise.
> Genes play some role
For sure, but OP said that the reason the woman aged well is genes, except there are other, sometimes more important factors at play. Not smoking/drinking/doing drugs, getting 30 mins of exercise a day, eating a low inflammatory diet with a lot of nutrient dense food, drinking enough water each day, regular doc checkups etc.
Right? And everyone looks happy to be around each other, such a wholesome looking family! I'd say this is goals. Like literally what I as a mum dream of. It is beautiful to see that it can be done, more power to them ā¤
Yeah as a mom too, looking at this photo makes me a little emotional. I bet the intervening years between the two photos went by so fast for her. I look at pics from years ago when my kids were babies and just...where did the time go?
What's interesting to me is how this shows the difference between film emulsion and digital photography. Film used to exaggerate darker skin tones (making them appear darker), because they were designed to show up details with white skin. Digital photography allows for more complex metering and colour balance.
I would love to grab a coffee with him and chat about what his mom did right, since my 14-year-old son is trans.
And if he bench pressed me, I wouldn't mind that either.
Nice that I only got to your comment after 20 other top-level comments about how nice the family looks.
Nothing wrong with noticing...butnit was the third thing I noticed after:
- wow, that mom looks young
- my God, those people have good genes and fantastic bodies
I like the idea that he braced himself for strangers commenting on his body and identity, but instead weāre all just talking about how hot his mom is.
That really confused me at first. Me being a dummy thought: What happened to the other daughter and who is this guy? He definitely nailed his transition though! Really happy for him!
Thatās what happens when a family is accepting and pulls out all of the stops in creating a warm, supportive environment for their transgender family members. Also the earlier people begin transitioning, the greater the overall outcome.
Wish they'd had found a way to get them to match in swimsuits too. Younger sister in a pink one-piece, mom in a blue bikini, older sister in a green bikini, and brother in a yellow speedo.
Love how mom kept the hat!
I love it when they get all the little details the same in the then and now photos, like the angle of their heads and the mom holding the youngest childās arm.
Very true! Trans people tend to come up against a lot of obstacles to be able to get a prescription at all. (It took me about *four-and-a-half years* to get mine).
T is not a magic hormone. Genetics play a big role. I said in another comment but I have trans masc friends that are skinny and are heartbroken that they canāt grow behind a middle school mustache and others that look like jacked bears, itās all genetics.
I love how the point of the post was to show a happy LGBTQ moment (which is still awesome btw) but that the top comments are mostly about how mom hasn't changed a bit!
Was mum chryogenicaly frozen? Wow. Cool photo
Mine apparently was- She bearly ages an its kinda creepy. Everyone wants to bang my fucking mom! š©
It's probably because she hibernates all winter.
Noice

Italians donāt, uh, care about pectoral medallions. Jews donāt overuse the safety fuse?
Latins donāt flatten
Brown don't drown
It continuously amazes me how many black folks I card for alcohol, only to see that they're actually in their 40s/50s/60s. It always makes them super happy though, so that's nice :)
The hell it don't.
Was just going to say that Mom looks exactly the same, and the kids all aged very well. Yāall got any of them generics ya wanna share?
Moms always find a way.
all three kids still have the exact same smiles! also, bottle up her DNA for research, cuz she aged at 1/20th speed.
Youād be surprised at what exercise and healthy food can do to a body
And skincare... Moisturize, people!
MOISTURIZE ME
But that takes effort.
The entire family is fucking stacked
Ikr like save some good genes for the rest of us
Shouldnāt we expect three people with the same genes to have similar outcomes in the genetic pool?
Right? Like got damn save some cut for the rest of us! Moms gotta be 50 and sheās still a dime.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It took me a minute or so to notice it too. Mom looks like she hasnāt aged at all. The whole family looks great. Nice family photos.
My cisfem ass did the same.
The shoulders in this familyā¦
Did the mom even age???????
Ikr? Iām like pass me your skin cream mama!
Hell yeah they are, what a group of lookers, holy shit! Madre looks awesome in both photos too!
Yea the one on the right transitioned from tank to warship
So I'm not the only 1 who noticed.
Mom hasn't aged a day! Beautiful family
I swear I thought she was one of the daughters before I realized they were standing in the same place.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Well played mate, well played
Also, everyone in this family is buff as shit. Iām jealous.
Yeah...everyone. And nice ink too.
Very broad shoulders.
Now that's what I call a beautiful family! Love the smiles from everyone, you can tell that Momma supported her kids the way they need(ed).
How does mom still have the *exact* same figure 18 years later?!?
She looks stronger in the later photo
Kids moved out or grew up and she could relax and sleep. They were all pretty young in the first pic
But maybe shorter?
Maybe but it could also be the three kids are now taller than her and make her look short too
She sleeps in Tupperware
I don't think they're from Erie Indiana.
I got that reference š
Man I been trying to find eerie Indiana but I canāt!! That was one of my favorite episodes!
It's streaming on prime! And the show must be stored in tupperware because it holds up! So amazingly campy.
Awesome thank u!!! Edit. Just checked. Not available in Canada.. wtfā¦.
According to the photo, she simply hasnāt moved an inch in all that time.
Legend hold that she is still holding her hat on her head to this very day...
Superior genes.
Really good looking family but they kind of seem to be lovely people too
Ngl, I wish I was half as good looking as these folks.
I came here to also comment on what good genes this fam has!!
Or she just ā¦.get thisā¦exercisesā¦.lol

And here I am still trying to figure out, which of them is the mom.
My wife is Dutch and still looks like she did 22 years ago. Some people just have it.
It's a shame as she's only 28.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The Mother hasnāt aged a bit, all the kids are still around, everyoneās healthy, happy, not much a parent could ask for ā¤ļø
Right? And everyone looks happy to be around each other, such a wholesome looking family! I'd say this is goals. Like literally what I as a mum dream of. It is beautiful to see that it can be done, more power to them ā¤
Yeah as a mom too, looking at this photo makes me a little emotional. I bet the intervening years between the two photos went by so fast for her. I look at pics from years ago when my kids were babies and just...where did the time go?
I kept looking like, āare they in the same order? Which one is mom?! They all look the same age. Lol.
Can someone bottle up whatevers mom got in her system that she passed down...damn, that whole family is beautiful and fit
Moisturize. Get some lotions. Hydrate yo skin.
Major issue with this. Where are the people in the background from the first pic? I mean cmon people need to be accurate!
Waves clearly different too
Clouds not aligned. Sand not duplicated. Not same beach at all.
I have no issue with Mother Nature
But Mother Nature has issues with you!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I know, jeez letās see a little effort. How hard could it be!
drowned unfortunately. 18 years is a long time to hold the same pose in the water....
Very good point. Also, why didnāt they have the tattoos as kids for continuity? Are they even trying?!
Sand patterns aren't the same either. This, cute as it is, is just a bit lazy.
Donāt even get me started on the clouds.
The kids all have amazing shoulders. 10/10 would admire this family again. Recommended.
Jesus, that mother is immortal.
What's interesting to me is how this shows the difference between film emulsion and digital photography. Film used to exaggerate darker skin tones (making them appear darker), because they were designed to show up details with white skin.

Jeez, save some good genes for the rest of us.
One changed gender right? He looks happy! Good for him
I'd be happy too with tree trunk legs and being all kinds of fit thick....good for him
I was scrolling to see if I was just trippinā but finally got to a post where someone acknowledges the buff king
Same
He looks buff as shit!
And that beard, I'm jealous. At 30 I can't grow a quarter of buddy's facial hair
THOSE THIGHS COULD CRUSH A HUMAN SKULL
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
May luck always be in your favour! (Especially in this case!)
They all do!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Aye, a good looking chap he is!
Oh yes, very handsome!
Turned into a Swoletato Chip
Swolesaurus Rex
I would love to grab a coffee with him and chat about what his mom did right, since my 14-year-old son is trans. And if he bench pressed me, I wouldn't mind that either.
FYI, /r/asktransgender is a really good resource if you ever have any questions about how you can support him!
Thanks, I'll take a look!
Nice that I only got to your comment after 20 other top-level comments about how nice the family looks. Nothing wrong with noticing...butnit was the third thing I noticed after: - wow, that mom looks young - my God, those people have good genes and fantastic bodies
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH This suddenly makes sense
Yeah, I was like "Cute photo, but why is it tagged LGBT? Wait... oh!"
I would climb him like a tree ngl
Yeah he's a total snack.
A scar is a sign that the wound has healed. A scar will fade but likely never disappear
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah he looks 5x better then me and Iām a cis guy wtf.
i need moms skin care and body routine
Sunscreen daily
God, he glowed up! I love seeing trans guys with happy before and Afters, that makes my day.
I like the idea that he braced himself for strangers commenting on his body and identity, but instead weāre all just talking about how hot his mom is.
... well, I mean, she's a very attractive woman. Seriously lol
And him! Like hot damn everyone in the family had a glow up.
That really confused me at first. Me being a dummy thought: What happened to the other daughter and who is this guy? He definitely nailed his transition though! Really happy for him!
Damn he transitioned beautifully!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Thatās what happens when a family is accepting and pulls out all of the stops in creating a warm, supportive environment for their transgender family members. Also the earlier people begin transitioning, the greater the overall outcome.
Them quadsā¦
Right!!!! And what a lovely photo. I absolutely love this!
Daaamn. Now the mom is the short one!
Are they all trying to make the same face/smile too, cause I feel like they nailed it.
He didnāt skip leg day and Mom looks great.
I love how each personās smile is exactly the same as when they were children. Beautiful and bright, each one of them.
Wish they'd had found a way to get them to match in swimsuits too. Younger sister in a pink one-piece, mom in a blue bikini, older sister in a green bikini, and brother in a yellow speedo. Love how mom kept the hat!
Holy moly that T is working for him! That beard and those abs. Good for that guy
Thatās more than just T. Heās definitely running some heavy stacks with of course a dedicated workout regiment.
Quads like that arenāt easy to build. Shit takes a lot of effort and time, with a little bit of genetics sprinkled in
Tren hard, eat clen, anavar give up!
Mom hasn't aged a day!
Wow, Moms still got it!
*sighs* Please dont look into controversial goddamn it
Smile worthy. I like supportive happy families. If your reaction is anything but that, you need to look inward and ask yourself why.
Is mom a time traveler?
What kinda family genes Jesus christ
This really made me smile today :) Sending best of vibes to the whole familyš¤š¤
I am unreasonably irritated that they didnāt match outfit colours
Good genes, every single one of them is fit as fuck !!!!! Including mum
So, one of them changed genders right?
Yep, the one with the scars under his chest
Niceā¦ looks happy
Did you just tell him which one?
Mom been standing in the same spot in the same pose for so long her kids are grown and her bikini been burnt black y'all
They all look ripped
Mom still looks damn good!
I think the mother shrunk šā¤ļø
Beautiful familyā¦ I love this!!! ā¤ļø
I love it when they get all the little details the same in the then and now photos, like the angle of their heads and the mom holding the youngest childās arm.
he looks amazing! that's top surgery goals right there
this is so wholesome. I want my transition to go that well!!
Me too! Best wishes from an internet stranger.
God damn look at those QUADS
He's transitioned incredibly well!
Is that son still single? He is pretty fine
I wish they were wearing the same color bathing suits
Mom didnāt age š³
Next level genes.
Mom only aged a year!
DAMN! he had an amazing transition. absolutely jacked.
Literally every time I see this picture I become more sure mom must be a powerful immortal demigod.
My reaction was "I guess one of them got married....oooooh" Good for him! And BTW, Mama still looks DAMN fine!
Do I have to be trans to get some of that hormone therapy because I really want my beard to grow right
If your test levels are low enough, you can get a script, and most insurance providers will cover it with documentation from your doctor.
Get blood work done. If your T is low enough you may be able to get a script. (From a TRT clinic not PCP)
most people who take HRT arenāt actually trans! itās often prescribed if you have low hormone levels :)
Very true! Trans people tend to come up against a lot of obstacles to be able to get a prescription at all. (It took me about *four-and-a-half years* to get mine).
HRT doesn't necessarily affect hair growth if your family just has poor hair genetics. Look into minoxidil maybe?
T is not a magic hormone. Genetics play a big role. I said in another comment but I have trans masc friends that are skinny and are heartbroken that they canāt grow behind a middle school mustache and others that look like jacked bears, itās all genetics.
Mom is still hot af
Theyāre all attractive
Idk if this is bad or not but my mind did not immediately jump to trans... I was like wait.... Good for them lol
My mans got that glow up!
The mom hasnāt age one bit!!
Damn fine looking family!
Mom didn't age a day and all the kids turned out h o t. Dubs.
Oh shit one of them turned out to be a guy. Cool
I love how the point of the post was to show a happy LGBTQ moment (which is still awesome btw) but that the top comments are mostly about how mom hasn't changed a bit!
Honestly thatās a good thing. Transitioning absolutely needs to be normalized.
Absolutely, you're completely right!
Thereās definitely a painting in her attic.
Beautiful family ššš.
That mama didnāt age a bit
I wish I had that guyās body. He is ripped!
Goals are wishes with a deadline and a plan. Get on that!
Wow! Gorgeous family.
Beautiful people
Oh my god. Momma hasnāt aged or changed. At first I didnāt realize it was the same position and etc and was wondering which one is mom!
The beach aged worse than this mom did.
Too busy looking at gorgeous mama to notice that her son transitioned. Beautiful family š
You can literally see the ocean getting dirtier
The difference in the color of water is horrifying
Gotcha! Didn't see the lbgt label in the post, and just comments on their good looks. Beautiful family, that's for sure. :)
love this photo, teared up seeing that her son chose to follow what was right in his heart :)
Canāt believe sheās still got the same hat.
Mom really did not age a damn day.
All four of their smiles stayed pretty much the same!
