There are those times when you feel so frustrated talking to someone that you just want to lash out and not give them any more of your time. This story, however, demonstrates that sometimes kindness and patience is the only way to convince them of your point of view. 

For this mother of a transgender child, it's clear that all she needed was to be put in her child's shoes. Now, who's cutting onions in here?

    Text - They may not be wanting to identify as male then- many people wear binders and still identify as female or non gender. How are You feeling about it? Does it feel a bit heavy?

    Text - I didn't say You were a bad parent. I said You were a caring parent. The reason a binder is great is because they are medically much a safer option than alternatives your kid may be turning to when you're not around. Binding with ace bandages, tape, and even torn fabric. It can lead to broken ribs, lacerations and lung deformation if the material isn't stretchy. Why wold she do that to herself

    Text - There are many reasons people may want to bind from gender dysphoria to social discomfort. It may be confusing to You and even feel painful to witness but if You push them away when they are expressing vulnerable truths about themselves it could lead to self harm or even an environment for suicide. Would You rather have Your child in your life or gone forever? A little piece of medically approved fabric can literally save their life. One that You clearly adore and care about.

    Text - You must have really created a space of open communication and safety for them to have asked You fora binder! That's special- You don't want to lose that. I told my Sammy she could tell me anything That's beautiful. And Sammy did!

    Text - Will a strap hurt her? If You make sure to use it safely with consideration for the length of time it is worn and the way it's made then it will not! I'd love to recommend @gc2b they make amazing ones and will walk You through usage.
