I thought maybe it was an old sweater mom stole from an ex of hers back in the day that her child just discovered. But then I couldn’t understand why she was crying over it. Yeah, the message of this comic is too ambiguous. I have no idea what’s actually going on.
EDIT: The sweater text said “BOY” with the male symbol for the “O.” Which I thought indicated an old boyfriend. But I’m assuming it’s implying that Mom is trans and used to be a boy? I still don’t understand the crying though.
My initial impression was the old ex they might’ve lost?? The jacket foes have emo vibes. The boy bit feels like its emphasizing, because even if trans, gives me, “you look just like X when I met them” sort of vibe

it’s a boymoder sweater, which is a 4tran (the trans part of 4chan) meme. “boymoder” being a trans woman who still presents as a man (or a boy)
so ya, mom is trans, and she’s probably crying because the memories of being forced into masculinity as a trans woman aren’t fun ones…
(this one is still so much better than the edit where the daughter says “dad” instead :/)
