"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?

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."
