First, let me congratulate you on creating a new human being! It is the greatest of our joys!

I can understand why you are pondering these issues at this time. Parenting is not easy and ideally we want to do everything we can to do the job right.

I love being a mum. 52 years ago, I gave birth and in the intervening period we moved heaven and earth for our son. That included a vast array of learning curves, a list of priorities where he was at the top and we parents were last.

Looking back on it all now... it didn't matter what gender we were. We both gave our energy, willing to provide for him and we made sure that we had a lot of fun along the way!

I am very concerned right now that gender confusion may be (partly probably) caused by oestrogens in the water supply and plastics which are upsetting the normal balance of nature. The men are being feminised and the women are alienated by that.

I don't think enough attention is being paid to this hidden environmental threat.

Thank you for this. I live in a blue state and one of our county commissioners stated to press that men wearing dresses is no different than women wearing pants. In all too many cases, I cannot tell men from women as a lot of people are transitioning and it is so sad to see. I think we have normalized insanity. I appreciate the book recommendation.
