fighting v. wearing princess costumes
I had stopped blogging for a while, because the status quo as I last described it hasn't changed much. However, I decided that it is just to important to stop. The trigger for me to return to blogging about my son, and how he resolves his gender dissatisfaction, was a new book that came out, called growing with my child, or some such, by Mimi Lemay. I didn't even read the book, just and excerpt, but I sure debated about it on facebook. It seems that books or articles such as these are coming out these days a dime a dozen; and they all sing the same tune: A child who wants to be the opposite sex actually is the opposite sex, and your only choice is to affirm that or he'll die by suicide. Parents need to hear another tune. I'm not a great writer but perhaps I have what to offer them. And thats why I am returning to blogging. My son is 7. There is a long way to go to know how he will turn out as an adult. I don't know how well my uncharted path will help him or
