I Am a Trans Mother — Deal With It

What my children care about is the temporal strength of our bond, the songs I sing to them, and the warmth of my body when they wake up at night after a bad dream and crawl into bed with me. They neither know nor care what is in between my legs, let alone what lies beneath my pubic bone or in my chromosomes. They perceive, in a way society somehow cannot, that I love them as only a mother can.

------------------------------------------

This is how I've always felt about my children, even before I had any idea I was trans.

Cf. Brecht's play, The Causasian Chalk Circle.
"...  I think I'm great just the way I am, and so are you." -- Jazz Jennings
