The ability to hold something as true without understanding why or how it can be true is some of the most challenging work we can do. Faith, tolerance, grace, compassion must all be invited to the party and that’s a lot of big personalities! But, it’s also no excuse for us not to show up, grab a drink, and observe from a corner until we can participate in a way that includes everyone.
Nan, the New Yorker article was a loving account by a father of his experience with his son’s transition. I’m glad you shared it here. When I read it a few days ago I realized that it was exactly the kind of story that needs to be heard. Thank you for speaking up with the same warmth, compassion, and clarity. Love you. xo
