THIS IS SO TRUE AND SO HEART-RENDINGLY BEAUTIFUL

"Transition is something all of us need to do. As Thomas Merton and Richard Rohr would say, 'from a false self to a true self'--that's the ultimate transition. Gender is just one part of that."

AND

"We have to become fluent in everything that makes us want to live."

...liberation, and safety for all" --

ALL Y'ALL NEED TO LISTEN to ep 292 of #WeCanDoHardThingsPodcast with Sally Abed & Alon-Lee Green of @omdimbeyachad.

It is heartfelt, educational, revelatory, painful, encouraging, convicting. Seriously, put your earbuds in & listen to this *now*. The way the two of them talk about WHAT THEY ARE LIVING THRU is different from any journalist's viewpoint you'll read/hear.

There is struggle and horror. But there is also hope.

"If the higher levels aren't forced to change, then they will do whatever it takes to keep their power, and that includes the culture that makes women quieter."

--Sarah Spain

If your behavior is such that the presence of women would be problematic, then it is not the presence of women that is problematic: it is YOUR BEHAVIOR that is problematic and needs to change.
