For the past few weeks, I’ve been holding my breath, in a different way than the way I’ve been holding my breath since my son announced he was trans, demanding that we refer to him with female pronouns and use only his new name, Erin.

Gender: You’re Not So Special
Once upon a time, there was a special child. For purposes of picking a pronoun, this child will be a boy, but it could just as easily be a girl.
