"Allow everyone their process including yourself." That was the advice given to me by my gay friend (everyone has one now...hah!) when my transdaughter came out at age 6. Those words helped me a lot when friends and family would say hurtful things. This is the bravest journey I've ever been a part of as she's now 10 years old. At least our kids will now only have to face the normal ignorance and bigotry of the general population and not have it be fueled from the top tier of government. (Sigh). Keep loving. Love wins. Your son is finally Being How He Feels! This is a piece I wrote about my daughter. https://medium.com/swlh/be-how-you-feel-b2ef0daa36c
