In this episode we celebrate Transgender Awareness Week, talk about changing names and gender markers on identification documents, and give a shout-out to these great organizations fighting for the rights of transgender, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming people everywhere:
Gender Justice in Minneapolis, Minnesota
The National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE) — please note the correct URL is https://transequality.org (not ncte.org)
The Transformative Justice Law Project of Illinois
We also circle back to the main subject of our podcast: mixed-orientation relationships and the challenges partners in these relationships face. Although this is an ongoing discussion we hope to develop over many episodes, today we layout a basic framework for going forward, and the key words are trust and honesty. Be truthful at all times. Trust your partner. And — and this is key — don’t rush into rash decisions you’ll regret in the future. Time is on your side.
Please feel free to continue the conversation in the comments section. Thanks for listening!
