So we went shopping again. She wanted to start putting something in her bra, to be like other girls her age. I steered her towards things I like -- I am a pretty girly person. She wanted her usual androgynous look -- plus breasts. One day we were getting ready to go out somewhere and I tried to put a headband in her hair.

"Maybe if you look a little more like a girl, it'll be easier for everyone to remember to use the right pronoun," I said.

She put down the headband and smiled at me. "Mommy," she said, "I'm just not that kind of girl."

"Choosing to be true to one's self — despite challenges that may come with the journey — is an integral part of realizing not just one's own potential, but of realizing the true nature of our collective human spirit. This spirit is what makes us who we are, and by following that spirit as it manifests outwardly, and inwardly, you are benefiting us all." -Andrew WK

Mom and dad have the right kind of guts for this one.  They also have the right type of love for their child and in time will have a wonderful individual who can teach the entire world something.
I refuse to have a war of wits with a half armed opponent!!
