Tinker Bell,
Thank you

very much for posting this article. It's not only
good to see this kind of acceptance from doctors and parents,
but also to know that at least some doctors can be flexible
when it comes to the mental as well as physical health of
the individual.

Karen,
Good point.

My feeling -- and it's just my feeling -- is that
with the growth in medical knowledge, greater visibility of
the TG community in general, increased public education
thru outreach, improvement in discrimination laws, etc.;
more and more parents are open to the reality of what
may be present and growing in their children -- and are
also emboldened to support them because of the above
mentioned changes and others. (Whew!!!)
FWIW,

Sandra
