Birth announcements are happy occasions to celebrate — even when they come 19 years after one’s actual birth.
Yolanda Bogert of Jimboomba, Australia, printed a retraction on Monday to the original birth announcement for her 19-year-old son, Kai, who was born female, according to the Courier-Mail,
Kai had come out to his mother and father as a transgender man a few days earlier, and his parents agreed they needed to show a sign of support — both to their son and to the world. Yolanda Bogert told the Courier-Mail that writing the retraction was “a no-brainer.”
