I have to say, being the parent of a trans-identified child has definitely been the most crazy-making, rewarding, infuriating, enlightening, confusing, reflective, destabilizing, vulnerable, galvinizing, humbling, I could go on, experience of my life.
I'm so glad to hear you will be on THE podcast on this issue. You represent so many of us Moms struggling to make the best of a very strange and unexpected journey, and at the same time fight for our daughters' and sons' freedom to go on their own journeys unimpeded by medical challenges and the blinding light of a false "gender identity." I look forward to listening, and I'm sure I'll hear some wise and enlightening words.
You are a great writer, sharp mind and big heart. Yes I don’t know you in any way but I am grateful. This mom needed and needs every word you speak. It’s like hearing what my mind wants to understand but is to tired and to alone to gather into words. It’s healing as much as it is sad and frightening. Yes we all hope one day this is obsolete.
you're living all of my dreams! way to go! and i relate to this trans excursion remaking us as moms, and the whole stoic/taoist angle of course. stepping out of our own way to step into the flow. our daughters don't know how good they got it. ❤️❤️❤️

I love you, Karen! Your words always move me and I'm grateful this "strange and unexpected journey" connected us.

❤❤❤ But we know how good they got it. ;) That's why we model what we want for them. So grateful for ancient wisdom...
So happy for you!
😍 It feels so high stakes! <--which is exactly what I try to avoid because that thought creates anxiety.
I keep thinking about how every question could take me five different directions... It will certainly be an adventure!
I appreciate you always taking time to like and comment. :)
