About a year ago, a former friend of mine said something in a group conversation that has still shaken me. She said that she was having trouble accepting her young son’s decision to use male pronouns and to identify as a boy. We’re of course accustomed to hearing these kinds of statements and shaking our heads. Especially on the left, the idea that a parent might have any emotions around their children’s sex or gender expression is seen as a bit of primitive throwback.
