Your 13 year-old Son Wants to Transition...
So, your 13 yr. old son wants to really be your daughter.
There are quite a few fathers that have been presented with that dilemma in recent years, past. In most cases, the father futilely attempts to buy more boy toys in hopes of finding at least one that suits his son's fancy. However, it's to no avail. His son continues to ask for certain dolls and insists upon playing with the neighbor's daughter and her toys, instead of the neighbor's son and his toys. He continues to walk on his tippy-toes and holds his wrists limp at the waist, whenever idling in anticipation of some expected action.
Furthermore, he insists upon wearing girls clothing and hiding your wife's cosmetics from him becomes an impossible task. The children in his school constantly tease him, making life absolutely unbearable for him. Deep down inside, you really have to work at not feeling ashamed of what your loins have produced. You therefore seek therapy for both yourself and your son, who continues to play hop-scotch, jacks, and house, with the neighbor's daughter. Later on, you observe him admiring the boys in the neighborhood.
Eventually you are convinced that your son is really your daughter. After a year of middle-school, he decides that he seriously wants to start hormone therapy and begin his transition to becoming female.
What Should you do, as his father? Should you insist that he wait until after high school? Should you be supportive and assist him in his immediate transition? Just what would you do?
