A reader writes: "I am a 24-year-old transgender girl. I started transition about a year and a half ago, with one month in between where I had major doubts and confusion about my life.

"I have asked myself, am I doing the right thing? Am I really transgender? Maybe I am just fooling myself. Should I simply live a life male and cross dress? But the one question that sent me down a spiraling hole of regret was, and is, 'Am I betraying my mother and father by transitioning?'

We come into our lives on our own and that's (usually) how we leave.  The experiences we have in between are just that and can change and be changed.  Our lives (your life) belongs to you not someone else, and not your partner or parent(s)

I'm aware of a person who transitioned and of being told her grandmother mourned the loss of her grandchild.  There was another option about what she was gaining...
