Thank you for the support! The support that I've received from sometimes complete strangers is unbelievable for a small town humble girl such as myself. I didn't realize so many people have been reading and understanding our story until the parents creating a backlash got one of their own from our supporters
And yes, physical threats will be / have been reported to the authorities. I don't put up with that type of stuff.
My biggest worry is the trickle down effect to K. She's amazingly strong but I shelter so much from her...though I did break down and cry when this all started and grabbed her in a fierce hug and told her I WILL SUPPORT YOU ALWAYS!
I had a friend contact me today who is studying psychology and wants to use our story (no names) to show the difference between familial support and peer pressure and how it can affect these kids. I readily agreed. After all, it's the premise of which I do my blog - to educate.
I also contacted TYFA, a leader in trans youth issues to help me figure out how to put out the fire that has been started by a few hateful people. I've a meeting at the school tomorrow to discuss what we're gonna do. Thankfully I have the school's support and they do not and will not put up with bullies whether they be kids or parents. One parent even suggested that my allowing K to be herself was child abuse!!! What???!!! Thankfully, I have doctors letters to back up her diagnosis and scientific articles all in what's called a "safe folder" that I carry in my purse in case of emergencies of stupidity.

Well K knows you love her...and I'm sure she appreciates that so much! She probably sees/hears more than you know, unfortunately. People are CRUEL...plain and simple. But with loving and supportive family...kids grow up strong. I'm very glad to hear the school is so supportive - that is a MAJOR bonus! Child abuse?! WTH? Some people...I swear... 
But ignorance does not justify a response of violence. Pity them...for they are fools.
and more to you and K!
