We are all given one body to walk this world in, and the highest form of love we can teach our children is to love and care for their bodies; not to change and hate their bodies.
No one is born into the wrong body. There is no wrong way to be a boy. There is no wrong way to be a girl. And there is no age at which a child needs medical transition to live a full, authentic life.
You are already whole.
The body you were born in is not a mistake, and it is not something that needs to be “fixed” with hormones or surgeries in order to make you “you.”
Being a boy or being a girl comes in a million beautiful variations: tomboy girls, gentle boys, artistic kids, rough-and-tumble kids, quiet kids, loud kids and every single one of those ways is valid and good. You do not have to change your body to belong, to be protected, or to be loved.
Liking “opposite-sex” clothes, toys, hairstyles, or hobbies does not mean you were “born in the wrong body.” It just means you’re a unique human with your own personality, and that’s exactly how it’s supposed to be.
Many of the feelings that make you question your body like feeling awkward, out of place, or like you don’t fit in are feelings almost every kid, teenager, and even adult experiences. They are normal, they are temporary, and they do not mean something is medically wrong with you that only drugs and scalpels can solve.
Kids who feel this way grow up to be happy, healthy straight, gay, lesbian, or bi- adults in their natural bodies with no permanent medical intervention required.
Adults who tell you that you must take puberty blockers, hormones, or have surgeries to “be your true self” are not helping you discover who you are; they are rushing you into irreversible decisions while your brain and identity are still growing. Real love protects your healthy body and gives you time to grow up before making choices you can’t take back.
You are not broken.
You are not a problem to be solved with medicine.
You are fearfully and wonderfully made, exactly as you are right now.
There is no wrong way to be a boy.
There is no wrong way to be a girl.
And there is no age at which a child needs medical transition to live a full, authentic life.
You are enough.
Just as you are. 💞
