Hi Aunt Deirdre,

If I were your daughter, I would be very proud of having you as a Mum.

This is my current real thought. But three years ago when I first knew your cross-gender from reading your books, I felt very uncomfortable. I still remember I hid your book under other books to prevent other people from seeing it. To my surprise, little by little that “uncomfortable” thing went away. I find I like your books. I like you.

What I want to say is, maybe your kids are the same as me—they need some time. Be patient with them.

I wish your happiness every day!

Jia

  1. Dear Jia,

    Thanks. I know the feeling—of being ashamed at first, then accepting of oneself, and finally comfortable in a new skin!

    Regards,

    Deirdre
