This will not be an easy row to hoe for him.

That is an excellent, if dense, chart. Brings home the fact that gender is far more than XX and XY. I may just steal it!
Good news from Washington State:
We didn’t change overnight—we weren’t immediately the perfect allies. We were assimilated into gender roles that we’d been ascribed. There were learning curves. Zaya, now 12, once asked us, “Do you know there’s a difference between gender expression, identity and sexuality?”
We were like, “Yep!” And the second she walked away, we said, “O.K., let’s break out the Google.” We had to shut up and listen and ask so many questions and talk to health care professionals. We reached out to black trans activists, advocates, educators, and watched shows and documentaries like Pose, Euphoria and The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson. Zaya had to educate us. She has always led. At times, we’ve had to catch up.
Hoping parents everywhere can be as open to the wonderful questioning and teaching of our children (myself included)!
Their relative freedom from the weight of old gender roles is a breath of fresh air.
Fabulous name choice!
Cool! And doggoes!!
