I’m going to a family support group tonight for adult family members of transgender and gender variant youth. I’m super nervous. I’m not so good in groups but I think it will be nice to meet other parents in similar situations. I have been finding it hard to talk to people about my family and about Jet. They get uncomfortable and mumble something about assumptions and/or not jumping to conclusions.
It’s pretty frustrating.
Needless to say, I don’t talk to people about us very often. If I do, I tend to play it down or keep it light. I’m getting overwhelmed just writing about it. Oh my tomboy chose a new name to go by, which is closer to his real name, but for anonymity’s sake I’m just going to use Jet on here.
