"When did you know for sure?"

Everyone we meet wants to know the answer to that question when they hear we have a transgender child.  Some, perhaps, so that they can calm unspoken fears about the possibility their own tomboy daughter or feminine son might be gender variant.  And most others because they are genuinely interested.

I remember Sam always gravitating to traditional male activities...male friends...male play.  From Match Box cars and CAT bulldozers to baseball jerseys and Bob the Builder reruns...Sam was all boy, even if he was a girl.
