"I still remember the day when I sat in my sons bedroom and told him that his 9-year-old friend Samuel was no longer a boy, but was now a girl named Sophia. My son C.J., didn't say much at first."

I wonder if this is just the first in a wave of "post-liberation" articles about life in a world where being trans is not considered strange.

Well, it wouldn't be all that strange to CJ, since he's already gender non-conforming and has been debating with himself as to whether he thinks of himself as trans for quite a while. His mother has been blogging about him on raisingmyrainbow.com for something like 3 years.
