In the last episode, I talked about the fact that my daughter is starting fifth grade at a new school, where no one knows she's transgender.

I told you that I'm struggling with how to advise her. Should she tell people or not?

I talked with my daughter about the choice in front of her, and she laid out three options.

So there's like total out there, total stealth in the middle.

It seemed like she had already decided.

I would choose in the middle to just tell her closest friends.

Only tell people you really know you can

trust with the secret and maybe she's right maybe that will work but all the

options worry me I mean like this kind of upsides and downsides I would think to each one.

All of them seem fraught with potential pitfalls and dangers.

So I asked you to tell me what you think about how I should advise my daughter and you did

Dear Marla. Hi Marlow.

I'm Marlow Mac.

And I'm so grateful.

Hi Marlow Mac and Minnie Mac.

So now you get to hear from you.

Your daughter sounds so much like mine.

And from otherwise listeners like you.

Hi Marlow.

Hello Marlow.

Oh mama bear.

Thank you so very much.
