5 CHAPTER 3

Mandy POV:

I was surprised when I saw what my child looked like.

He looked different and colourful. I mean; I've seen him in style just not this kind of style.

My son taught me a lot about being true to who you are. It hasn't always been easy for him, being a little boy who accepts his being.  We've tried to give him the permission and confidence to be and express himself regardless of cultural and gender norms and regardless of what others might think or say. We've tried to give him the tools to handle the moments we knew would and may still come his way as long as what he likes and wears doesn't reflect what's considered "typical." Alliyah is only 11.

His new look surprised me but what did I expect? After all; he's gay and he accepted. So this had to happen sooner or later.

Do I care that he's developed a girl dressing sense? Not even a little bit. I'll admit though to wishing he had better style — but he likes what he likes, and that's just great.
