Jennifer Boylan writes in the New York Times [in the Style section, of course, because that’s where all the sex- and gender-related concerns of women get relegated >:{ ] about her transition when her kids were very young and her decision to continue her marriage to her wife. She alludes to Frank as a memorable figure [singing Sweet Transvestite, no less!] in her historical search for self, and, as she worries how her boys will adjust to having a “maddy” [mommy + daddy], she sees them try to carve out their own identities in ways that echo her own. Wait for her son Zach’s big confessions.

Hooray for happy families, flexible marriages, accepting kids and RHPS as a catalyst for developing one’s own, non-heteronormative gender identity.
