Weekend Reading on Transgender Parenting
Take a moment to go read Sometimes Daddies Do Get Pregnant (How I Do Queer Parenting), by Lucy Silva Marrero, at Hip Mama. It’s a rare but needed look at raising a child in a family with a transgender parent, and the challenges of painting a broader-than-usual picture of gender roles. “I love that my boy asked an ex-girlfriend of mine, ‘Are you a boy or a girl?’” Marrero writes, “and she answered ‘Neither/nor.’ And we talked about how people are boys or girls or a combination or something in between, and how everybody is different.” Wise words for all of us, as well as a reminder of the full breadth of the LGBT spectrum.
