What I've found in the years of raising my trans son is that really understanding another person's experience requires a vulnerability that isn't always easy to muster. You have to be willing to suspend your own assumptions and let your own experience of the world take a back seat.

​

This work takes time, can be overwhelming, raise your defenses, and destabilize your understanding of your own personhood.

 

If you're like me, you dig in, need room to process, then dig deeper. This digital space is meant to give you a way of digging in and processing at your own pace so you can get to where the deepest personal growth happens: Trusting that what people tell you about themselves is true.
