What an uplifting piece! So glad we were able to connect, Robin, and thanks again for sharing my essay. I couldn’t be more proud to be mom to a trans child, and I hope more parents will be inspired to embrace diversity. Glad to see your community welcomes so many allies!

I loved the tree imagery! That was sooo very creative and appropriate. Trees come in a varied display of genders which I find fascinating and very much in line with the way Nature actually operates. Well done!

Thanks, Ben! I’m a big fan of trees… all plants, really. Trees have a grounding presence to them that helps us find ourselves in the quiet shelter they offer.

Thank you for a beautiful piece ❤️

One of these terf parents, Lisa, is my mom.

I’m writing my own book now to tell my story in my own words. I’ll also be amplifying others’ voices in the trans & neurodivergent communities.

If you want your story to help shape the book, you can send yours in: https://gformsapp.com/f/1U_HYxbkOr7iGll4jUvLGZ0Mh-Q5V0NFYP49IXoQatHg/en/

Here is the GoFundMe link to cover the costs of creating the book: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-me-fund-the-book-they-tried-to-write-for-me

Thank you for spreading the word ❤️ 😔

This made me smile so big, Robin...reaching out to fellow trans folx no matter where they are was especially lovely to read right now. Wishing you a wonderful Transgender Awareness Week!
