A father talks of his intelligent, sensitive son with ADHD who was bullied throughout public school. He went off to college and after a difficult breakup with a girlfriend and encouragement from "gender affirming" therapists decided he was a female. His parents fear for his mental and medical health as they watch him struggle with the concept of who he is.
A mother describes the difficulties her daughter with ADHD and high functioning autism has fitting in with her peers. Her daughter vacillates between believing she is a girl and a boy and finds communities that support her confusion and seemingly accept her.
Follow this mom's reflections on her journey with her trans-identifying daughter. She finds meaning and tries to "savor and appreciate the moments of closeness."
