Ask Matt: My Daughter is Dating a Trans Woman

A reader writes: "My daughter has recently started dating a transgender young man who is currently seeking therapy and is considering undergoing a sex change or hormonal therapy. I try to think of myself as being open-minded and accepting of others.

"My daughter has asked me to spend the day with her and her boyfriend and let me know that he will be going in his alter ego, or dressing as a woman for the day. I am not hip to all the politically correct lingo, so please bear with me and forgive my ignorance.

"I want to support her and her decision to date J., but in all honesty, I do feel a bit uncomfortable because this is all very new to me. Perhaps you have some advice for a mom who has never dealt with anything like this before. I want to be supportive and understanding, but it is a little outside my comfort zone.
