This is a thread, sorry.

Quite personal, but there you are. My son is trans. As a family, this has been a journey that has taken a good few years. He is about to transition into a more medical phase and let me tell you, let NO ONE tell you that ...

... they just make this decision as a whim. It has been three years of individual and family therapy. Journeys every month or so to the clinic in Leeds.

This is hard work. This is why ignorant fuckers like GLinner and JKR are utterly wrong about all of this ...

... this doesn't just happen, you can't just rock up to the Tavistock and ask to transition.

I'm proud of my son. He has shown more bravery then anyone I have ever met.
