[quote=Anonymous]For starters, I'm fine with Transgender. If that's what my child wants, fine. I will love and support, regardless of label. I am just wrestling with if this is *really* what my child wants, or if it's a fad. Is there any way to sense which way the wind is blowing? At the beginning of summer, the child announced he wanted to be a she. The family have been using a new name and pronoun all summer, and my child seems happy with this. Our message all summer has been "we love YOU" regardless of label. As we head into 6th grade, I just wonder at what point this passes a "fad" stage, and really becomes a part of identity. It just seems so young to wrestle with such a big issue, the child hasn't even hit puberty yet. Could it be embarrassment from the changes the body is going through? Would appreciate NON-JUDGEMENTAL advice, I am looking to support my child, not change them.[/quote]
