That's easy to say from the sidelines, Cheryl, but my son "came out" to me in his mid-20s, having apparently dabbled in social transitioning since college while building his career 1500 miles away from our Midwest home. At 28, he has been on estradiol for at least two and a half years. "That kid" did go to church with me, went to Sunday school, youth group, Boy Scouts. He played sports, liked girls, dreamed of creating video games. It's naive to believe your unindoctrinated child will "drop a hint" or that there's a safe place to run. If you have minor children, assume the indoctrination has begun. Monitor their internet use. And pray.
