Mom,
I Need to be a girl!
“I
need to talk to you Mom. I have
something to tell you, [...]
“I need to be a girl. I'm a girl
inside. I like boys but as a woman
would, not the gay way. I have felt this
way for years, and you know how feminine
I am.” So this was what he had been
upset about the last few months.
[...]
He
wanted to BE a girl, not just dress-up
as a girl. He finally fell asleep beside
me. Meanwhile, my mind was wide awake
forming dozens of questions. What
happens to these kids? Is this just a
phase? Is this part of being gay? If I
don't make a big deal about it, will it
just go away? Is there a name for this
condition? Does this usually happen to
people so young, and can they change?
Can they succeed in life? I wanted
information and I wanted it now, in the
middle of the night!
What
does a mother do in this situation? When
my boys came to me with a cut, I would
put on a Band-Aid and a kiss to make it
better, but I had no Band-Aids for this
problem. I knew his life would be
difficult and sad. How could a mother
help, and would a mother's love be
enough? Was I strong enough to handle
this? I thought I knew my boys pretty
well, yet I had no idea that Daniel's
life was so troubled.
