The positive goal progresses, which is still up and down with my mom. Katie's support got a bit more through to talks. ?️‍? #LGBTQ #transbooks ⚾️? Family chats may be tough; "I wouldn't want to be a man. And you DO NOT want to be a woman." Uniquely for me, gender chats should end any sense of women feeling bad about being a woman; same for men. All's in compassion, and one never knows what another keeps unspoken. Celebs help, moving us forward.

saresmoore ❤ You have a wonderful and refreshing perspective on this. If only we could eliminate shame from the world, we would be able to talk about anything! Thank you for sharing. 8y

I saw Katie Couric on yesterday's Ellen DeGeneres Show, on her new #LGBTQ Gender Revolution documentary. I remember my mom picking up 'The Best Advice I Ever Got', as I read in parts, with a growing admiration for Katie's wide wisdom; getting to know the diverse insightful best to share. https://www.google.ca/amp/s/amp.smh.com.au/entertainment/tv-and-radio/the-gender...
