How My Life Unfolded When My Partner And Kid Both Came Out As Trans
CBC News ^ | 11/8/2019 | AMANDA JETTE KNOX

In many ways, communities have never felt lonelier.

While many of us recognize this, we’re so busy juggling jobs, kids and life, that we often don’t know our neighbours beyond a simple wave from the front door.

We might chat with them on social media groups or see them at a store or two, but what they’re dealing with behind closed doors remains a mystery.

Six years ago, when we pulled up into our home’s driveway for the first time and started unloading boxes from the car, our new neighbours had no idea just how much our family would change over the next little while.

But then again, neither did I.

Their reaction to it all, however, should be an example to everyone on how to be a real community.

The First Transition Not long ago, we introduced ourselves to everyone we met as a mom, dad and three boys. Moving into an area full of other young families meant blending in seamlessly, and I liked it. We were like them. They were like us.

As someone who used to stick out in her younger life and was often a target for it, fitting in meant safety.

But my at-ease feelings quickly evaporated a few months after we bought our home.

One night, our then-11-year-old sent us an email. In it, she explained she was transgender, and that she could no longer go on living as the boy we thought she was.

“Please don’t be mad,” she said. “Please help me.”

It’s cool to be trans.

* Instant maximum victim status.

* Be bizarre so EVERYONE notices you (a rebellious adolescent’s nirvana).

* Get support and maybe even money if you can just say how mean everyone is to you

Celebrate perversity.

So now the test of goodness and decency is how much unreason and pure insanity you will smile and endorse?

I did not buy my home to be social with neighbors. My home is my sanctuary away from the world.

Canada is even crazier than the USA at this point. But we’re moving in the same direction.

Sometimes it becomes time to just pack up, leave and not participate in the madness.

“Unfolded”? “Unraveled”, more like.
