Today, my first-born child came out as a transgender woman (on Facebook, as Melody Jade) in Houston on the same day as the vigil. (http://bit.ly/5A0fKw) Jade didn’t know about me.
I had told Laura, who I see fairly regularly, and I did not tell Laura she could not tell Jade. When they were growing up, I was presenting male entirely. Their mother knew I sometimes cross-dressed, and had apparently guessed I might be transgender.
Jade was worried that I would freak out. Instead, I provided resource information to get her started on her transition. I know Houston relatively well, and had been doing research for my own benefit.
Wow.
