Thanks for your post,

I'd say love and support your son in all things, and maybe offer some examples of non traditional gender acceptance for him to see. There are some great kids books about non-traditional available through nickname press or look here:

also your town probably has community resources for LGBTQ families, and they could help.

Good luck, and your son is lucky to have you!

Thank you

#62 - I'm sorry, it's just plain wrong to suggest that a child needs a mother and a father to grow up healthy and or happy - and it is double wrong to suggest that a child needs a mother and a father that were born a specific sex or gender.

Studies have shown that children of LGBT parents are at least as healthy, happy, and well adjusted (if not more) than children from conventional marriages. What's most important is to have parents who wanted you, and prepared for you and made a very intentional decision to bring children into their lives. Thomas obviously has - rock on.

Since trans people are still discriminated against, I can see why adoption may be a more difficult option than home insemination. The adoption process usually requires a very detailed background check. This would turn up the fact that Thomas is trans, and it is more than likely he and his wife would be discriminated against...

With understanding, many aspects of life will be open to trans people, but we're not there yet, unfortunately

It's a guy NOT a woman,

and please don't call him "she" that is a really insulting thing to do.

This article was incredible - I am in awe of his bravery and strength. Thank you for posting this

Xeni and the Boingboing crew,

Thank you so much for posting this, you made my day!

It is a great video, funny and smart.

trans rights are feminist rights and human rights - and for all the people that don't get that, please re-watch the video, and pay attention this time
