Maybe the ‘dad’ is actually a second ‘mom’. One would expect at least some minimal mention of ‘his’ reaction to all this.
Yep that is what i was thinking, but it ruins the narrative of a normal couple raising a boy who wants to be a girl.
Good suggestion. There’s mention of “parents,” but no father.
A normal mother and father, IF a young child obsessively insisted he or she was the opposite sex, would say, “This is crazy!” and take the child to a neurologist and/or an endocrinologist.
