Hi Robin & Welcome. It’s funny. I was just getting ready to write a post about the ambiguity of gender identity. Someone sent me a brochure that sounded kind of rigid and it made me realize that there aren’t any easy or fast answers. There aren’t any rules or knowns when it comes to how someone feels inside. It’s all an evolution.

Having said that, you know your child best. Talk with your child and ask questions. Let them know you love them no matter how they feel inside. And above everything else let them know they are not alone. Whenever I get frazzled by the path ahead I just look at my feet and take one step at a time and focus on love. If there is anything I can do to help please let me know and stay in touch.

My Best- Jen

Thank you for doing this blog, I am somewhere at the begining of this journey, my son has said so many times he wishes he were a girl and I think at 8 he may have let it go for a bit, not sure where it will lead to. He plays with his dolls and loves loves barbies, he seems okay with his boyness, but every so often I see pain in his eyes and it makes me sad.

It is good to be alive isn’t it Jen? It always was but when it comes home to you in the way you describe it’s such a wonderful feeling. It’s almost as if you’ve been living your life with your eyes shut then suddenly they are opened and what you see overwhelms you. I cherish moments like these. I hope the feelings continue and not fade away in the drudgery we call routine. Love
