'Time' to explore 'the gender conundrum'
So many questions come with raising kids and teens. For instance: At what age do I start letting them date? Another popular one: How late do I let them stay out once they reach their teen years? Or what about: At what age should I let them drive a car? And, of course, if they are gender-variant children, there's the ever-popular one: Do you delay puberty with hormone treatments, or do wait?
The answers to all of these questions, according to G-A-Y's Book of Raising Young'uns, are: four-years-old, four AM, four-years-old, and see the Time magazine link below:
The Gender Conundrum [Time]
Of course the parents who most need to consume an objective take on such a subject would be the ones most likely to throw the magazine (or in this case, computer screen) across the room while cursing it as a Satanic tool of the liberal media. But to those parents of gender-variant teens who are open to realities that are based in, ya know, reality: Start with the above-linked article and then head over to The National Center for Transgender Equality for more information. After all, the most important thing is to do what is right for your child, not what is most easily explicable to your judgmental friends.
