Of all the comings-out we have to do as trans folks, telling our parents is one of the very hardest. What it even means to be trans has changed so much that it can be incredibly hard to even get them to understand what your gender is.
This week on #StainedGlassWoman, we've got "Oh, s#!t, my child just told me they're trans," a guide meant to be handed off to parents of trans teens and adult children, to help them get there.
This bit really caught my attention. I always felt a bit gaslit when people from the cult of #GymRat would talk about how energized & great they felt after exercise, or a run.
In the case of my body's chemistry, either exercise does NOT produce #Endorphins, or I suffer from some sort of Endorphin Sensitivity... 'cuz it makes me nauseous & pissed off.
But I remember enjoying sports as a teen. #OurBodiesChange in sometimes mysterious, unexpected ways.
