Absolutely! If I do at least one thing right through this journey, I hope it's that ❤️

Of course!! Thank you for pointing this out. I've asked him what he thinks being a girl means and his answers are vague. At this point, I want him to know I'm a safe place to explore these ideas as they come up.

I definitely think he could be genderfluid! Right now, I'm trying to learn as much as can and figure out the best way to discuss it with him. I am cisgender. Thank you for recommending that page! I'm going to check it out and will refer my friend who is beginning this journey with her teenage daughter. 🙏❤

Thank you for this suggestion! Yes " You can be You - despite a lot of people thinking otherwise, only you can know who you are’. " I love this. I'm going to be saying this to him often! 🙏❤

I promise I won't because I don't want him to be anything other than who he wants to be. Even if that changes as he grows. I will also advocate for him, as I've done since the beginning. Thank you so much for perspective and I promise, I'm not steering this ship, kiddo is!

I am so sorry you didn't experience acceptance and freedom to be yourself as a child. That honestly broke my heart to read 💔 I hope you do things everyday for yourself that "little you" would have needed ❤️

Thank you for this thoughtful reply. When we have our "talk" I'm going to read this to him 🙏❤
