Jackie I could highlight this entire article; your analysis is so elegant and with piercing truth—I kept shouting YES all the way through!! Will re-read….but this should be a viral story!
I hate THAT this exists and I thank you for sharing this.
I barely follow my FB friends and family because I’m tired of FB; but in the last 5-8 years, I’ve followed about 4 individuals who happen to be trans and they’ve taught me so much about the “otherness” world that I simply wasn’t exposed to and was nonexistent in my childhood.
I love them dearly—oh they are just precious souls!!
So I thought of them as you wrote this—and clearly there are countless more out there who need this support from all of us.
Excellent write up!! Bravo!!!
