Note: the decision to end the series came from the creators. Changes come for Sabi, Aqsa, Wolf, 7ven and the rest of the crew. On HBO in the US. [more inside]

Earlier this year, my daughter got to meet the transgender TV star Laverne Cox. I wrote about it for my blog, and that heart-warming, feel-good post went crazy viral on the internet.  But there's more to the story.  Here it is. My daughter gave her first interview (to Amy Poehler's Smart Girls website): Check it out!Music credits: "Hearts Mend (Prelude)" by Rebecca Foon, "EDM Detection Mode" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), "nu pop2" by Plusplus.

When my son first started saying that he was actually a she, I went looking for information. I wanted hard numbers.  I wanted data.  I wanted science to tell me to do. This is what I discovered.

When he was three years old, my son informed me that she was actually my daughter.  I'm now the mother of a happy, confident little transgender girl, but it took a while to get here.
