Hello guiltier65: Thank you for sharing this development. And thank you, as well, for your unwavering support of your son. He (She) is most fortunate indeed!

The Skeezyks is an older person who always struggled with feelings of having been born the wrong gender. I never did anything about it though. Back when I was young, the words transgender & transsexual hadn't even been coined yet. And the discussion of anything related to gender or sex was simply not allowed. So I just grew up hiding & feeling warped & somehow dirty.

It's all behind me now. I'm too old for it to make any difference one way or the other. But, scratch the surface even a bit & it's still there. So, anyway, I know something about what your son has gone through. Yes there is likely to be rough terrain ahead for your son. But having so much family support is a great blessing. I wish you all well...
