I think you have to be flexible in what you ask for and you need to kind of meet the school in the middle.
Lisa always thought she had a son and twin daughters, but life had a different story to tell. By the age of four, one of the twins began to express a different gender identity. Now, Lisa is the proud mother of a son and boy/girl twins. In this heartfelt episode of 'Discovering Our Scars', Lisa opens up to Steph and Beth about her family's journey through understanding and acceptance.
She shares how she recognized her child's gender expression as genuine and not just a phase. Lisa also discusses the challenges they faced in school, the legal hurdles, and the medical decisions involving hormone blockers and surgery. Her story is a blend of struggle, resilience, and unconditional love. It's a powerful conversation that sheds light on the importance of supporting transgender children and fostering open dialogues about gender identity.
Whether you're a parent, friend, or simply someone wanting to learn more, this episode offers a touching and informative perspective on embracing your child's true self.
