I watched the HBO documentary "Transhood," which follows four transgender American young people from 2015 to 2019. I loved getting to know these wonderful kids, and also appreciated the focus on their support systems--parents and siblings and friends and one memorable shit-talking grandma.
There's a scene with one young person at a Unitarian Universalist church being welcomed and even honored as the person that they are. Even as a straight white kid, I did not grow up with that kind of welcome or acceptance. It feels like such a gift to see this kind of open, radical acceptance practiced in real life. I can't imagine extending it to myself.
