"Is your child transgender? Maybe! And if that's the case, why not ensure you're accepting of gender non-conforming behaviour right from the get go? Isn't non-judgmental acceptance the foundation of parental love anyways?

For some, that may be harder than expected. The path to empathy and compassion comes from understanding another's viewpoint or experience. The same way we eradicate other prejudices applies here. Be it race, colour, religion, socio-economic status or what have you, people must get educated about the reality and experience of their fellow person — the transgender child included."
