When I need them, the other most amazing women continue to step up to the plate to help me grow and support my family. Women like Jenn Burleton, the executive director of transactiveonline.org; Susan Massch, the director of transyouthequality.org; Joanne Herman, author of Transgender Explained For Those Who Are Not; Jenny Boylan, another author and awesome professor; and Jean Vermette, a solid Mainer who keeps me grounded.

A few years ago I went to lunch with Kelly, Jenn, and Susan. At lunch I was pretty quiet, listening to the women talk about gender non-conforming youth, hormone blockers, and the many transgender youth that needed our help.
