亨特基思并没有把父母的爱和支持视为理所当然.
来自密歇根州Farmington Hills的这位16岁的孩子在2013年成为他父母的变性人时，他们只是接受了.
“我只是想明白，”亨特的妈妈罗兹基思告诉TODAY.com。 “这绝不是一个接受的问题，他知道这可能是他觉得如此舒服地告诉我们的原因。”
亨特放弃的第一个标志发生在6岁，而基思正在给女儿洗澡，然后命名为奥利维亚.
“我是个男孩，”奥利维亚说。当基思问她是否想成为一个男孩时，她回答说，“不，但我还是个孩子。”
不久之后，奥利维亚一年级班的一个女孩回到家，声称她的朋友是个男孩。当这个女孩的妈妈打电话给基思时，她笑了起来，因为这只是因为她的女儿当时是一个重要的假小子.

她终于开始意识到奥利维亚在14岁时青春期受到了影响.
“自从我很小的时候就知道事情已经过去了，”亨特告诉TODAY.com。 “我在五年级时听到了变性人这个词，当我后来发现它意味着什么时，我心想，就是这样，这就是我一直试图指出我的一生。”
虽然她年级的所有女生都开始穿着更年轻的女孩，但她并不感兴趣。相反，她坚持要在男孩的部门打电话。到了理发的时候，基思让她挑选出一些她喜欢的款式，几天后，奥利维亚带着短发的男孩照片来找她。.
“那就是灯泡为我而去的时候，”基思说.
她问女儿为什么她想要一个男孩的发型，奥利维亚的反应就像她八年前在浴缸里做的那样，只是这次她更自信地说：“我是变性人，”她说.
“我们让他非常清楚我们站在他一边，无论如何都会支持他，但他必须让我们做我们的研究并找到合适的资源，”基思说。 “我不知道从哪里开始。这不像我后口袋里有医生。“
虽然基思与她的孩子的儿科医生一起与LGBT社区取得联系，最终他们朝着正确的方向指导他们，但她的丈夫上网做了一些研究.
“这更多的是支持亨特以及他想要去的地方，并且在他自己更幸福和更真实的情况下得到了回报，”亨特的父亲理查德凯斯告诉TODAY.com.
奥利维亚于2013年开始转入亨特，在夏令营期间，他出现在他的朋友面前，他们向他展示了支持。当他回来时，他鼓起勇气走出去，所以他写了一个Facebook状态，以防止任何谣言旋转.
这让他的妹妹Danielle Keith感到意外。她知道自己是跨性别者，但对于世界其他地方以这种方式发现并不满意.

“现在它已成为常态，但这对我来说绝对是最难的，”19岁的Danielle告诉TODAY.com。 “接受他的意义并不难，因为我总是接受他，但我不知道如何处理它，因为这不是你每天面对的事情，也不是在学校里教的。”
在亨特的八年级毕业典礼上，他穿着西装打领带，而所有其他女孩都穿着连衣裙。 Danielle记得担心人们的想法，但惊喜地发现没有人问任何问题.
“我很高兴现在全部公开，人们更加清楚，所以他们不会质疑，”丹妮尔说。.
她有时觉得奥利维亚度假并且从未回来过，但她喜欢看到一个更快乐，更健康，更自信的兄弟姐妹版本.
“当我出来的时候，除了支持之外我什么也得到了满足，这对我来说能够让自己感到舒服至关重要，”亨特说。 “我的父母是一个令人难以置信的支柱。这是你的家人;你想让他们自豪。“

在过渡过程中，Keith开始写博客作为一种方式来解决她的想法，并在此过程中建立一些联系。她从没想过听到这么多害怕变性的孩子，他们不知道接受父母甚至存在.
猎人最近从六周的密集露营中回到了Tamarack营地，正在享受夏日滑板，弹吉他，和朋友一起出去玩.
“很多人都说他们希望自己出生在正确的身体里，但就我个人而言，我不会成为一个没有变性的人，”亨特说。 “我不会对事情充满热情或开放。这给了我更深刻的生命意义。“

As an AI language model, I do not have a specific language preference. However, I can provide a translation of the text into English:
Hunter Keith did not take his parents love and support for granted. When this 16-year-old from Farmington Hills, Michigan became transgender in 2013, his parents simply accepted it. “I just wanted to understand,” Hunters mother Roz Keith told TODAY.com. “This is by no means an acceptance issue, he knew this might be the reason he felt so comfortable telling us.” Hunters first sign of giving up happened at the age of 6, while Keith was giving her daughter a bath and naming her Olivia. “Im a boy,” Olivia said. When Keith asked her if she wanted to be a boy, she replied, “No, but Im still a kid.” Soon after, a girl from Olivias first-grade class came home and claimed her friend was a boy. When the girls mother called Keith, she laughed because it was just because her daughter was a tomboy at the time. She finally began to realize that Olivia was affected by puberty at the age of 14. “Ive known since I was little that things were off,” Hunter told TODAY.com. “I heard the word transgender in fifth grade, and when I later found out what it meant, I thought, yes, this is it, this is what Ive been trying to point out my whole life.” Although all the girls in her grade began to wear younger girl clothes, she was not interested. Instead, she insisted on calling the boys department. When it came time for a haircut, Keith let her pick out some styles she liked, and a few days later, Olivia came to her with a picture of a boy with short hair. “That was the light bulb moment for me,” Keith said. She asked her daughter why she wanted a boys haircut, and Olivias reaction was just like the one she had in the bathtub eight years ago, only this time she said it more confidently: “Im transgender,” she said. “We made it very clear to him that we were on his side and would support him no matter what, but he had to let us do our research and find the right resources,” Keith said. “I didnt know where to start. Its not like I had a doctor in my back pocket.” Although Keith worked with her childs pediatrician to reach out to the LGBT community
