I waited until the end of my journey with Naomi to share with you all that she identified as a woman.  I thought it only right to now share with you the beginning of another journey.  Emily has announced that she identifies as male.  We are at the very, very beginning and have started therapy which is required to begin transitioning.  He doesn’t have a name picked out yet but we are leaning towards Marshall.  I wanted a name that started with “M” because his childhood nickname was “Em”.  That is what we did with Naomi as her childhood nickname was “Nay Nay” which worked for her childhood name or Naomi.  It really helps us all transition to the new name and “M” completely agreed.  I’m hoping the support from family and friends will be equal to what Naomi experienced.
