Of course, and I just added you! I didn't realize I had some of these entries public, but I'm glad I did since you've gotten to read and comment! It is hard to know if parents are comfortable with someone trans around their children, and to come up against distrust and prejudice because of that can be really jarring. It's good to know I'm not alone in that.

The retreats are led at Shalom Mountain (www.shalommountain.com) in New York State. Once a year they have a Gender Outlaws retreat and there are GO retreats at least a couple times a year in Canada, led by LJ Wooden (ljwoodenshalomretreats.com). It's just an amazing space to be exactly who you are with no questions and to be loved, and to do some really deep healing work. I don't know anywhere like it to get real, amazing support that can be so hard to come by in the world.
