A couple of weeks ago, NPR ran a series or stories about trans youth. I've been wanting to comment on the pieces ever since then, but it's taken me a while to marinate on what I wanted to say.

Essentially, NPR featured three families who have gender variant children. Each family has handled the situation differently. I found the interviews with mental health professionals, including the controversial Dr. Kenneth Zucker, to be really fascinating. And as I listened to these families' stories, I asked myself what I would do if I had a transgender child. Follow me after the jump to find out what the parents in these situations have decided is right for their families.
