My Life with Leo. May 19, 2016. A world without gender. November 24, 2015. Then the conversation went to this place that gives me pause. She said that when the world can just embrace all kinds of expression without giving into gendered stereotypes there won’t need to be transgender people. They can just live their truth in the body they were born in without feeling like it needs medical intervention. George – A book review. November 20, 2015. November 20, 2015. Could you relate to George? My heart broke ...

Why are some people transgender? | My Life with Leo

My Life with Leo. Why are some people transgender? July 31, 2015. August 15, 2015. This is a pretty big question. I know that there are people who view this as a mental disorder. The American Psychiatric Association did for a very long time. When they created the DSM-V the diagnosis changed from gender identity disorder to gender dysphoria. They recognized that this is a condition that needs a diagnosis in order to give people access to the health care they need. When I attended the Gender Spectrum.

My Life with Leo. August 2, 2015. August 15, 2015. But now, I’ll think about Leo. Who is brave so often but needed his dad to walk him into the locker room tonight and help him find the privacy he needs. The family locker room provides that easily. Even if that means he’s there by himself. Why are some people transgender? A small seditious act. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

The official name change | My Life with Leo

My Life with Leo. The official name change. July 29, 2015. August 15, 2015. The part of the ruling that I liked the best was that she was ordering the name change because she thought to not do so would be detrimental to the child. I wanted to jump up and down and scream “Yes, yes, yes.” That is why we were there. The necessity for the name change is because to do otherwise would cause harm to Leo. I now have five pieces of paper with the county seal on them that say that his name is legally Leo. Enter yo...

Feeling judged | My Life with Leo
https://mylifewithleo.com/2015/07/23/feeling-judged
My Life with Leo. July 23, 2015. August 15, 2015. Tuesday was supposed to be a momentous occasion. We had our court date scheduled for Leo’s official name change. Many small inconveniences will evaporate once we can match his legal name to his chosen name. Things like insurance (and therefore doctor’s appointments and prescriptions), plane tickets, and school records would all be in the name Leo from here out once this is done. I really wish I had questioned her concerns. But the power differential b...

My Life with Leo. July 15, 2015. August 15, 2015. Two days ago I attended in a medical panel workshop on puberty blockers at the Gender Spectrum conference in California. It was like being able to get a second opinion on how to proceed. The very strong consensus is that this is the right thing to do for Leo. Today I found myself sitting in a procedure room at my son’s doctor’s office; because today was the day that he started puberty blockers. One thought on “ Breathing Room. August 1, 2015 at 1:45 am.

My Life with Leo. Don’t ask, just tell. August 26, 2015. August 26, 2015. So when I found myself conflicted about some pictures we have hanging on the wall I asked him about them. They are pictures of him as a young toddler, a very adorable looking girl with big blue eyes. His told me that the pictures didn’t bother him. So, I decided to take a different tack. I told him I was thinking about removing those girly pictures from the wall and finding different pictures that looked more like him to hang u...

My Life with Leo. August 7, 2015. August 15, 2015. However, I knew from my parents of trans kids support group through Gender Diversity. So I was hesitant to say the least. The one snafu was the registration person who really pushed the middle name thing. Even after I explained that it was not a name that we used, or was even his legal name anymore she still wanted to fill that box. What is with people insisting that boxes need to be filled just because they exist? A small seditious act. Notify me of new...
