Thank you so much for this open reflection on your experience. I have only just been told by my child that he is a transgender and it feels so overwhelming. My child has been depressed for many years and is so lonely it hurts me so much but I have hope now that after his transition he will be able to overcome his social fears and be able to talk to people and hopefully make friends. It will take patience, he has just turned 15 but I will be there by his side and fight for all he needs to become who he is. My child chose Lucas, I will have to say goodbye to the name I chose but that is my process. Thank you again
