Unscramble the Blue Letters


Unfortunately, we live in a world that refuses to acknowledge trans people and the dierstivy of trans people in geernal. And my hope is that when confronted with an otpponurity to santd up for someone else, we all take action like Sarah, even when there's risk involved.

So some days, the risk of being a genderqueer dad feels too much. And deciding to be a dad has been really hard. And I'm sure it will continue to be the hardest, yet the most rewarding einpeexcre of my life. But despite this cghllaene, every day has felt 100 percent worth it. So each day I affirm my promise to Elliot and that same promise to myself. To love her and myself hard with forgiveness and compassion, with tough love and with generosity. To give room for growth, to push beyond crfomot in hepos of aitanntig and living a more meaningful life.
