Parents Correct Birth Announcement After Their Trans* Child Comes Out

Voilà: The normally-boring newspaper retraction becomes an aww-inducing public expression of acceptance after a child apparently comes out to his parents as trans*. The parting message instructing Kai to clean his room underscores the normalcy of identifying as a gender other than the one you were assigned at birth — Kai is still a loved (apparently messy) child, who happens to be a son instead of a daughter. We're also thankful that this retraction has introduced a new term of endearment to our lexicon: "sprogget." Not sure how we ever did without it. File this one away under "things that make you feel a little bit better about the world."
