[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I am a single mom. Yes, there are male family members in his life.  But, this to me, is irrelevant, & dirves me crazy when people ask.  100% of the gay men I know had both a mom and a dad.  So, I don't see how the question, where's dad, or are there any meaningful men in his life is going to make any difference.  He is who he is.  Sorry, but a man can't "fix" this, in my opinion.[/quote]

No one said anything about how having a man in his life will "fix" anything.

However, a loving, involved father figure, grandpa, uncle, etc can help him to learn to love himself, whatever kind of man he ends up becoming.

Saying that having a man involved in a young boy's life has no value or is irrelevant is naïve and narrow minded on your part.  There is a great deal of value to your son to have loving adults of both genders involved in his life, especially since the life you think he will live is going to be one of a lot of heartbreak and turmoil for him.[/quote]

Just FYI, OP, I am married to someone who transitioned from one gender to the other.  We have two beautiful children, are well-employed, have strong relationships with both of our families, are well educated, travel, give back to our community, have great friends who know us for who we are and love us, and are overall some of the luckiest people that I know.  So, though some jerks may make periods or instances of your son's life difficult (and everyone encounters this anyway), he can DEFINITELY have an awesome life being whoever he turns out to be.  Turmoil and heartbreak are not the norm in our lives.  In fact, I would not trade my life for anyone else's.  [/quote]
