☆ When your kid comes out as trans, here’s what to do
▼ + stars: | 2024-06-02 | by ( Kristen Rogers | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +11 min

CNN spoke with a doctor, gender rights activists and parents of trans children about what to say when a child comes out as transgender, how to address certain challenges and what receiving gender-affirming care is like. Some parents want to support their child but worry if their gender identity is the result of a phase, or if they’ll change their mind later. It would be their decision resulting from the exploration of their gender identity, rather than someone trying to control it for them. Rhyland’s son later realized he is trans masculine nonbinary and uses he/him pronouns, and he’s OK with Rhyland calling him her son. (Trans masculine nonbinary means someone’s gender identity is nonbinary, yet they present in a typically masculine fashion with their name, style and more.)

At the age of 15, Figari told him he had great mental powers and offered to train him in ancient techniques, Santiago said.

Read previewThis as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Nolan Church, a 35-year-old former recruiter for Google and Doordash from Salt Lake City. As a former recruiter at Google and the ex-head of talent at DoorDash, I've seen my fair share of candidates get ghosted by jobs they've interviewed for, and I've definitely ghosted candidates, too, but never intentionally. Recruiters forgetWhen candidates interview for a role and think, "I really want this job, but I'm not hearing back," I advise them to email the recruiter. One way to follow up with a recruiter is to send them a thank-you email within 24 hours after the interview. Recruiters are talking to other candidatesIf a candidate gets ghosted early in the hiring process, the recruiter is most likely talking to other candidates.

But he grew to realize that the only way he could make a significant dent in his student loans was by switching careers.

CNN —Ukraine says it hit two Russian naval vessels, along with a communications center and several other facilities belonging to the Black Sea Fleet, in a huge overnight attack on the Crimean port of Sevastopol. Ukraine said the vessels hit were two amphibious landing ships, the Yamal and the Azov. More than 20 Russian naval vessels have now been disabled or destroyed, a third of the entire fleet. Though Ukraine has virtually no navy of its own, technological innovation, audacity and Russian incompetence have given it the upper hand in much of the Black Sea. In October last year, satellite imagery indicated that Russia relocated some of its naval ships away from Sevastopol after a series of Ukrainian attacks.
