GMOR - Nick And Aiden

These two young people are articulate and humorous as they honestly share with me what it means to be a trans person. Their stories of coming out to their family are different, yet they both are seeking to find common ground with those they love, yet at the same time standing up for their unique personal identity. We mused about religious belief and the relevance of prayer. I attempted to make the case that God is a ‘they’ and we laughed about pronoun mishaps as they sought to educate me further. We discussed ‘dead names’ and how healing it is to be fully immersed in your identity. As I left this conversation, I was completely smitten by these beautiful humans and their desire to help create a world of radical acceptance for all.
