"Penelope is a transgender boy. Today, he’s 8 years old, but from the time he could speak, he told the entire world, “I am a boy.” Our family — including his siblings — chose to believe him.
There are an estimated 9 million LGBTQI people in the country (that's the size of the state of New Jersey) and around 700,000 transgender people. All of them have families. You’d assume there'd be lots of families like mine, out and proud. But it's not that easy. Speaking up and rallying around trans rights is hard enough because of gender bias, misunderstanding, and the threat of violence, but when you throw in that we’re not celebrities and my son is still in lower school, it gets so much more real."
