My teenage son has told me he want to explore his gender identity and to try dressing as a girl to see if this is something he enjoys and is comfortable with.
This has come out of the blue, nothing in the past has indicated this, really nothing!
I am in shock and am trying to get my head round this so I can be supportive but I am really, really struggling. I am not a bigot or homophobic but I really have a problem with this. I feel like my son is not the boy I have raised, that I have let him down somehow and me being upset about this now is also letting him down.
I have had a pretty rough year and just as things were getting better this happens and my world is turned upside down again. I know as his mum I need to get over my problem with this but I need some help with it please.
