MINHA CRIANÇA TRANS: EU SÓ QUERO QUE MEU FILHO SEJA FELIZ | Histórias de ter.a.pia #314

On a family trip, one of Mari's children came to her and said, "Mom, I didn't want to be a girl. I wanted to be a boy." And that's how Felipe, Mari's transgender son, was born. Ever since Mari's children were little, she noticed something different about one of them. This child had difficulty fitting in with the other girls and had a very different personality from her twin sister. Therefore, Mari and her husband were already expecting that, when she grew up, she might come out as homosexual. This wasn't an issue for them, but it was a topic for when the children grew up. Until the day the child came to her parents and said, very decisively, that she didn't want to be a girl. She wanted to be a boy. Mari and her husband's reaction was exemplary. They looked at each other and replied to her: "You can be whatever you want. You're a child, and your obligation is to be happy." After that day, they allowed the child to express her questions about her identity. The first step was buying the clothes she wanted to wear: boys' clothes. And that day Mari realized she left home with a daughter and returned with a son. She had never seen that child so happy in 8 years. It was during this phase of changing his wardrobe and cutting his hair that other questions arose for the little one, such as his name. He asked his parents what masculine names they liked and, finally, decided that his name would now be Felipe. But not everything is rosy. While Felipe had the unwavering support of his parents, some close people began to disapprove and distance themselves from the family. "Changing his name? That's too much," was what Mari and her husband heard from some. But none of that prevented them from supporting their son. What mattered to them was Felipe's happiness. While some adults have difficulty accepting a transgender child, things were completely different at Felipe's school. The entire teaching staff warmly embraced the boy's transition, and his school friends, after having a conversation with the teachers about the "news," welcomed Felipe with open arms, shouting his new name. Today, Mari continues to fight for her son's happiness. Because, acceptance is the only option. A mother's happiness is a child's happiness.
