Lori Duron is the mother of two sons, Chase, who likes sports and Legos, and C.J. who adores everything pink, sparkly, Disney Princess. After much frustration and attempts to steer C.J.'s interests in other directions. After consulting medical and psychological professionals, Duron learned that her son is gender non-conforming or gender variant. She began her popular blog as an attempt to reach other parents dealing with children who are identified as gender fluid. C.J.'s interests float from masculine to feminine and all points in between. Duron and her husband have handled his life with love and understanding but also with limits. They are firm about giving their children the same advantages as other children and will assert themselves when they encounter discrimination and bullying. Their older son has become a wonderful big brother to his younger sibling even when faced with bullying over his brother's differences. The family's challenges are faced with love and understanding. And the author's blog is worth a look.
