NPR’s story about 2 boys’ experiences as transgender children…

This story gave me great fear and great hope. I have a boy who treads somewhat outside the accepted gender boundaries at times. The approach of completely squashing that kind of expression strikes fear in my heart. I wish both these boys and their families well.
