I have a lot of questions.
Firstly, I had a very good friend of mine who was FTM, and I loved him as a dear friend, a brother, a beautiful man. I was always too afraid to ask him things because I didn’t want to inadvertently offend him. Unfortunately, my friends and I lost him last last year to pancreatic cancer. so…I’ll ask them here in this space. I’ll ask the experts.
Seems safe enough. I hope! I hope my questions aren’t too personal, and if they are, my apologies. The answers you give would be so much more educational for me and others that may be wondering about them as well.
If my friend, Cliff, was still alive, I’d grab a bottle of Chardonnay, his favorite, two glasses and lay on the beach next to him like we used to do and talk, gossip, say naughty things…lol. I miss him.
I’d ask…
"What's something about your journey that you wish more people understood?";
"How has your perception of masculinity changed throughout your journey?"
"When was the moment or experience that really affirmed your identity, something that made you say, 'Yes, this is who I am'?"
"What are some meaningful ways allies have supported you that you wish more people would emulate?"
"What's a piece of advice you'd give to someone just starting their transition?"
"How do you navigate spaces where people may not be as educated or accepting, and what can others do to make those spaces more inclusive?"
Apologies if you’ve been asked these a thousand times already, and THANK YOU ALL for answering the questions if you chose to answer.
kisses on your pink parts
