It’s when a person thinks more and more about themselves and their experiences or times when they felt outside of something no matter what that those feelings of the heart actually mean something. It’s really hard for a person to sometimes recognize that something is a lot more different about them than just their personality or their feelings. If a kid tells you that they think they might be transgender, there’s a decent chance they’ve thought a lot about why. There’s also a decent chance that they haven’t. So what I’m saying is that if it starts from the heart and it has to do with their identity, it means that it’s something that deserves an ear or some sort of compassion. I’m not saying believe it, I’m saying trust that they feel the way they feel and take an interest in why. Nobody has to change their rationale, I just believe that questions of identity are difficult for a child to ask, and I feel like it’s better to reach a place of understanding before any other decision is made. |
