Question

My transgender son is 24 and he just stared to dress like a girl. My husband is asking me to talk to him about the way he looks, saying he's going to get a lot of bad reactions. What should I do?

I know this must be hard for your husband, but assure him that it's okay. Your son (daughter?) can make their own decisions and people will learn to accept it. There will be bad reactions, and it's okay to talk to your child about that and prepare her for that, but she's probably already well aware. Let your husband know that it's okay to be worried, all parents worry about their children, but your child is an adult now and can choose their own style of dress, lifestyle, gender representation, etc.
