What is an event that altered you in some way? (piefed.social)

For better or worse. Small scale or large. Personal or shared. What is an event you've experienced that changed the way you act, live, feel, etc. It could be short-term or long. Share what you feel comfortable with. Triumphs and tragedies alike.

You must be going through a lot.

When it comes to parenting all I can say is that there is no way you won't screw up. What really matters is to have these moments of genuine unconditional love, and they'll take that with them into the world.

I'd recommend giving the series Pose by FX a try. It's the only media I have ever watched that managed to express what gender dysphoria is like to people who don't experience it.

Feel free to ask questions. If it is more comfortable to you, I am also available for pm on matrix.

Not at all, seriously, we are all in a good place now. Our son went through alot, and we went for the ride as well, but the medical & government sponsored support in Spain is absolutely amazing...the first big boost was when his name changed and he got the official paperwork stating so, before even the US gov.

I just like to get more insight without being overbearing and intruding on his privacy. I appreciate pist like yours and others and really judt wsnt to encourage others to share as well!

Love to you all!
