Transgender: A Personal Story about Transitioning
Episode 92
What exactly does transgender mean? How do we talk about it? What is appropriate to say and not to say? It's been a long time coming for this topic and we are so excited to have Transgender therapist Kerry McDonald answer ALL of our questions around gender identity. As Kerry says... there are no dumb questions. So lets talk transgender!
“I think of gender as how you choose to express your identity and I like to think of sexuality as who you like to make out with.”—Kerry McDonald
The gender conversation is really about how you see yourself and how others see you. When we talk about transition, it could be a series of things about someone becoming the gender they are. That can be as simple as starting to wearing clothes that connect with the gender you are all the way to having medical interventions.
The old school linear idea of going through a series of steps and then you ‘transition’ isn’t the way people are think about it anymore. You can transition your whole life. It’s about how you feel on the inside starting to express itself on the outside.
