Younger son had fun yesterday, I came out to him too

Younger son had yesterday, he had a male to female makeover done and I got his ears pierced. He loved it trying on different looks keeping the wigs and clothing starting of his female wardrobe. Now have a part time daughter named Erika. I even came out to him, told him I came out as bisexual at his age and he now knows he is no longer alone. Told him I have LGBTQ friends he would love to meet whom would accept him in with open arms. Told him one is my friend Tracy whom is a pre op MTF transsexual that grew up having Autism diagnosed at age 8. I called her to come over and she came over telling her story to him and was relieved he has someone to talk to now. He even asked me how I knew that I was bisexual. Said it was discovery knowing I liked boys and girls at age 15. Both of my parents did not accept it at first and took them time to realize this was me. I told him he will always have my support.

Great, we all need to have our parent(s) behind us. I personally would worry about accidental misgendering, especially if he's still on the fence about his gender ID. I think you can buy "pronoun buttons" on Ebay that he can wear so that everybody knows how to gender him correctly. I find that it can be difficult to know how to gender people especially in Ashland where there are lots of gender fluid people due to the presence of the university.
