I m really glad to have that. when i do call him she, when he s in fem, he gets this smile like i can t quite describe but it makes him really happy. i like being able to see that in him and know how important that is for him, that he feels pretty in a way that it took me a while to get. there s no such thing as a normal family. right. what s it like to raise a child in this nontraditional environment? it makes me feel really fierce about steve getting to be himself. okay. ready to brush your teeth, buddha? i want our son to see that it s okay. i don t want our son to see his dad has to put himself away in order for the world to be safe for him. i feel more strongly about steve getting to be himself and our son getting to see his father than i do about almost anything. ready to read some books? yeah! ....
