Document Summary
Camille age 5 (used to be sebastian), child was born gender non-conforming up to 18 months, after age two said i am a girl . Parents are now starting to realize he was always a girl from her birth. Parents have only been using the name camille and the pronoun she for a month. More confusing for them to do this than anything. Kids transitioning, kids can put off puberty with blockers, then hormones and then later surgery. Females who transition to a male will eventually take testosterone and males who decide to become a female take estrogen. Parents can either be in denial and fight it, or accept it and help. Parents of camille believe that there"s no more exploring left for camille, and that this is who she wants to be. Camille"s mothers side of the family doesn"t agree with camille"s decision and that her parents allow it.
