“Dear
Joan, I would be remiss if I didn’t write you a note thanking you for the
wonderful Father’s Day gift and card. And thanks for the 2-year subscription to GQ magazine! I love it! You know, it’s
funny, it seems like it wasn’t very long ago that you were just a twinkle in
your mother’s eye. After she got me pregnant, I had a little morning sickness
and I sure gained some weight, but it was so worth it! It seems like only
yesterday that we brought our beautiful baby boy home from the hospital. And
now you’re 15! And a girl! Your
mother and I are so proud of you! You know, it’s true, you can be anything you
want to be, as long as you’re you.
“Some
families have a really hard time dealing with just one member transitioning to a different sex, let alone having everyone in the family transition, and
in such a short period of time. Yet, I think it’s brought us closer together, don’t you Johnny Joannie? When your
mother first told me that she wanted to transition, back when she was your
father and I was your mother, I was actually a little apprehensive. Yet, when
she suggested that I, too, switch sexes, I realized that this could be so cool! Talk about your role reversal! I
thought, ‘I can be on top and he can do the damn dishes!’ LOL. It
really spiced up our love life, too, let me tell you! But anyway, when you came
to us and told us that you were tired of being a boy, our hearts just swelled.
And then, the very next day, your brother, who was then your sister, just
completed the deal when he said he’d
like to be a boy. You know what they
say, ‘like father, like son!’
“Your
mother and I also approve of your- and your brother’s- choice of significant
others. How did you both find such amazing gender-questioning, two-spirited
creatures? They are so loving and fun! We are so blessed by diversity!
“In
closing, let me say thanks again, dear, for the touching card and gift.
“Love,
daddy.”
