Thanks for this post, Marcia. We are on this journey right now, as both of our adult kids came out as trans two years ago. I appreciate all the references and resources you have included. I will be checking them out as I have time. I wrote about Pride in June, too. It's my post entitled "Accidentally starting off on the right foot," which was the first post under my Substack's new name.
I hope some of these resources help you, Sherry. I believe you’ll find this is a beautiful journey to be on and I know you’ll find a ton of support! Thanks for your comment, and I’m going to check out your post on Pride asap! We all learn together. ❤️
Lovely post - I especially like your friend's friend's insight, "Why Pride? Because Shame."
Great resources, too. I would add that I appreciated David Gushee's book Changing Our Minds and would recommend to those who feel the tension you describe.

Thank you for your thoughts and for the recommendation of the Gushee book. I’m going to grab that one now!
