Open Question: My child came out as transgender. What should I do?
My son came out as gay a few months ago, with which I do not have a problem. After coming out, he began wearing clothing typically worn by girls, sporting leggings, eye liner, nail polish, chopstick, Mickey Mouse ears, etc. I thought this was part of him coming out as gay, but I was wrong.
I grew suspicious of his erratic behavior, so I had a long talk with him. He finally admitted he had been keeping a secret from me – He wants to identify as female instead of male. I am very okay with that, but what if he gets bullied by his peers? I want him to be as happy as he can be, as life is too short to live a lie. However, my son is now going to be increasingly vulnerable to bullying, ridicule, and discrimination. Now that he identifies as female, he is technically straight, right? I know I shouldn’t refer to my transgender child as “he”, but this is new to me.
