This
presentation struck close to my heart because it was related to my friend’s niece
whom I discussed much earlier in this blog. The connection that was given in
this blog to a real life story really helped people to understand a gendered
conflict and it gave this difficult conversation the closeness that allowed us
all to understand what had happened. I think there is a lot of misunderstanding
in this type of topic both on the side of people struggling with gender
identity and expression as well as their family on the other side. This
misunderstanding comes from fear of being different and rejected by both
parties, and is difficult to move past often times. I wish we had discussed
more how such situations can be better resolved so that everyone is happy in
the end.
