I Am In Support of Transgender and Genderqueer People

My youngest son who is 19, is a F2M transgender. He recently started therapy and T therapy. He has his entire family’s love and support. The biggest problem I’m having is using the correct pronouns and not using his female birth name. I’m really trying!

Why can't he change his name now? Or does she have to wait till the Therapy is complete? Whew!...difficult for you *I can well imagine. Here I am realizing my errors attempting to be correct.
My first thought here is you need to DROP the word 'QUEER'
Pack this word in a Box and drop in into the rubbish. Webster's dictionary may well have something new. However it is not appropriate. It's a new AGE of learning,for us all. Thank-you for sharing.

@Carla1951 I wasn’t familiar with the name but when I found this group figured it was the best one to post in. We are going to look into a name change soon. That still won’t solve his mom’s almost 20 year habit of calling him by the female name. I’ll get it someday.
