I think I had my first experience with a transgender pre-school child today. [View all]

First impression: a little girl with big bushy black hair in a bun. Name was androgynous.

Then I had to help with the pull-ups at the toilet. Well formed and age appropriate sized penis.

To me, it doesn't matter as it's a child. A little human with the same fears and joys as any child.

This child didn't want to take his/her nap, so I pulled him/her on my lap and we rocked in the darkened room.

And I was thinking how this is how love and acceptance of trans-children begins: with gentleness and hugs.
