"Jellyfish doo doo doo doo doo doo," the line from "Baby Shark Dance" kept playing on loop as my 11-month-old son looked at me expectantly, wanting me to wiggle my fingers and dance along. Three years later, at 36, I received a formal diagnosis — now with two children, the oldest was 3 and my second son was 18 months. I was on maternity leave, and at the time, I was working as an HR manager for a private healthcare organization. What brings me absolute joy, though, is when my kids are asked what their mom does.

☆ 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.)

Editor’s note: Kara Alaimo, an associate professor of communication at Fairleigh Dickinson University, writes about issues affecting women and social media. At work, women on average earn just 84 cents for every dollar earned by men and are up against endless stereotypes about why they’re not leadership material. “Anyone who’s been on social media in the last ten years has seen the memes: ‘Mommy needs wine.’ ‘I wine because my kids whine.’ You can buy infant onesies that say ‘I’m the reason mommy drinks’ on Amazon,” Yvonne points out. It requires social structures such as an adequate childcare system and resources for women who need to leave abusive homes. We all also need to stop sharing jokes and memes that suggest it’s humorous for people of any gender to deal with the stresses they’re up against by imbibing carcinogens.
