As my family settles into the new normal, I've started to think about what I tell -- and to whom. We are really hurting financially, and I want to get a nanny share to help offset some of the finances. But then I think -- what if people are interested? Do I tell them about Jessica? Will they be comfortable in a home where there is a transgender child?
And we're still new in this state. If we had lived here a while and had friends, people would have known we're a good family and, I believe, accepted Jessica for who she truly is. But we've only been here a year, and now I worry that we're going to be "that family." The one you talk about -- but not to.
I'm hoping there will be some people who will be able to see through the labels and like us for who we are.
