The professor and his wife considered themselves "feminists against homophobia," and were quite willing to apply their views to their own family.
Had their son told them he was gay, they would have eagerly affirmed him. But they were shocked at what their son actually did tell them: That he was transgendered.
What did this mean? As Johnson recalls in his book, the son answered: "It means I'm a girl. I want to wear dresses and makeup and challenge the whole patriarchal, bourgeois idea of gender."
