Parenting without a net

Well, I had my daughter last night, and it got me thinking about being a parent.

I think that parenting is a little like a high wire act without a net, one little slip can be disaster. Because we all have flaws, darkness, and those are bound to come out ...

This is maybe even more true of a trans parent, whether they transition or not.

Then there's me. Not only am I trans, I am also broken in some terrible ways and I fear passing on my darkness to an innocent child.

And yet, Samantha seems to be a healthy, happy girl, who has a lot of compassion for people who are hurting.

Maybe I'm doing it right?
