OH MY GOSH, I'm bursting with pride and excitement and gratitude over here. Thank you so much!!
I also want to give a quick plug, if I may--writing this story, and then interacting with so many of you who responded to it, made me realize the lack of community for we parents of gender nonconforming kids. So I've decided to start one--and we're looking for writers!
Come follow along at Pink Hair & Pronouns, and if you'd like to write, please let me know by commenting here, or over there. I know it's nascent, but I think it's going to grow up to be something amazing (just like all of our kids!).

THANK YOU AGAIN, Medium! My first not-quite-two months here have been nothing sort of astonishing, and I'm just so grateful.
