A young couple with a 3-year-old daughter was expecting their second child. The doctor had told them it was going to be a girl and they'd decorated the nursery all in shades of pink to welcome their new family member.
True to the doctor's prediction, a baby girl arrived right on time. By the time she was two years old, they noticed a difference between her and her sister. She didn't like to play with dolls, but wanted to play with trucks. She didn't like to be in dresses and bows, but preferred jeans and t-shirts.
At first they thought she was just a tomboy, but the differences grew. She complained that she wanted to be a boy that she felt cursed to be a girl, and if she had to live her life as a girl, she'd kill herself.
Her parents listened and researched, they spoke to psychologists and psychiatrists across the country. They made the decision to allow their daughter to live out her childhood as a boy. She became the youngest case of transgender on record and the family lost some friends over their decision.
The unconditional love and acceptance these parents gave their daughter, who became their son, meant an overall happy childhood instead of a battle to be understood and accepted.
Love is always the answer, now what was your question?
