How can you preserve closeness with a child who is searching for themselves?

❓QUESTION:
Dear lee, maybe at least you can shed some light... My younger son (15 years old), a deeply thinking and feeling, empathetic teenager, feels himself to be a woman, he physically derives joy from feminine attributes, from communicating with girls as a girl, and fears losing this trust and communication with them. How can it be that a person is born not in their own gender? Shed some light, I beg you, on how to understand and help such a soul?
❗️lee's ANSWER:
And what here requires help? An interesting life can take shape for a person if he is honest with himself and with those around him. And with gender, a quite wonderful male story can quite well take shape, with a deep understanding of feminine aspects.
I would advise you to support your son with the utmost love in all his aspirations.
Or do you prefer to push through your own scenarios, based on personal interests? Well, then it will become harder and harder for you to communicate with your child. Here, by the way, one should remember that the word "your" does not mean "property." It means "a shared path."
