LoginWhen I was a kid, my family had a set of rotadraw circles that fascinated me. These were circular plastic stencils. This process took concentration and careful alignment. Slowly, the underlying drawing was being built, but you would not be able to recognize it until you completed the task and lifted the stencil off to reveal it. The anticipation was agony. It was brilliant. Just over a year ago, our then year-old son announced to my husband and I that he thought he might be trans. As my other essay described, this was not just totally out-of-the-blue, but totally out-of-character. As this process plays out, parents are filling in the stencils, shifting the circle, and following the guidelines. Literally — this is how mature parents are designed to work.
Hello, My son came out to be yesterday as saying he is non-binary. He also let me know that he now has a girlfriend, but that his girlfriend is trans. I was shocked. My first reaction was to show as much love and support as possible. Which I did. But afterwards, when I was alone with my thoughts, I had a million different things go through my head. How did this happen?
We offer a safe, inclusive community for transgender and gender non-conforming folks, as well as their loved ones, to find support and information. Join today! This is the one widely held tenet of pro-trans ideology that really bothers me: the idea that it's transphobic to not want to date a trans person. There are inappropriate ways to express this, obviously, but as long as the person is reasonably respectful, I don't think this is a problem. If you want to have standard penetrative sex, you can't have that with two penises or two vaginas.
