in the image of the mother , and being something you're not
------
IN HBTP Alec is trans and it’s heavily tied into his character. He wants the freedom to express himself without being judged.
Meg does love Alec but she doesn’t see Alec for who he really is and doesn’t accept him. She only sees him as her daughter. Something he’s not.
Meg had good intentions but doesn’t see how hurtful this is and that it’s only pushing him away.
Alec has been called bad ever since he expressed he was different. He’s been pushed to try to fit into a box he doesn’t fit in and it makes him feel hurt every time.
