Age of Emancipation.  What is the choice? Alienation? Resignation? The decison is a parents no more

As her father. I walk her down the aisle. People in attendance say She looks like a princess I agree. It was not always so. She was my only son. Until he turned 18. My only progeny. Then one day he came to me. And said father. I feel strange. I don’t feel, I am a boy. I want a sex change. And so began the process. For what else could I do? Now when the ceremony is over. He will no longer be Glenn. He will be listed. As the couple known as Gwendolyn and Sven.
