Message to Parents: To Be Open and Honest

Simple and pure message to parents with intersex child: be open and honest.

The simplicity of this message is so profound to me because being open and honest to your child will help avoid such hurt and shame for your child in the future.

To lie to them because you think you are protecting them is only putting a bandage on a larger issue that will open wide when your child is older.

Truth! 

Be brave and be honest with your child. This will foster communication between the both of you as your child grows and asks more questions; it will only strengthen and tighten your bond with your child.
