I’m sorry you’re feeling weary. I understand your frustration and exhaustion. And I agree with so much of this.

Before leaving any annoying — or disrespectful — comments, I think the whole world we do better to remember that everyone is a human being.

I like to think love is the catalyst for us choosing advocacy. And although I would have never considered advocating for anyone before my son came out, I can’t imagine my life without it now. My son was my lone reason in the beginning. Now many of his friends are also.

And being a trans advocate has opened up my mind about so many other inequalities, discrimination, and marginalization of many other groups as well. Parenting a transgender kid has been an amazing journey.

Take care of yourself. The world still needs you and more like you.
