I'm so glad that Noah is thriving and you gave him the safe environment he needed to feel comfortable talking about it. I still can't tell my mum about my sexuality and I'm 51! It's a really big deal to find the courage to tell loved ones, but now he can live his whole adult life authentically.

The politicalization is shameful. It would be laughable if it didn't have such dire outcomes. When you realise what a shaky grip some people have on reality - and not just internet randos but primeministers and leaders of the opposition - it's hard to understand how those people can be trusted to make good decisions about anything.

But back to you both. Wish mother and son all the best for the New Year x

Thank you Robin. It is hard to tell those closest to you because I guess the fear of rejection is always there.

Sending you a ton of love and a great 2024 x

We should not need to feel brave when addressing this topic but it is so important that we do. On the same journey as parent of a child the same age,thank you!

Thanks Jan. Absolutely it is as sadly often I hear of parents who are not supportive and it takes me back to the 80s and the horrors of section 28, and the parents disowning their children. I can do nothing but shout!

This is key, that so many spouting this hatred do not actually know any trans people! I love that you took a step back from writing while allowing this new information to settle into your life. Looking forward to reading more in this space!
