Reaching for Hope: Strategies and support for the partners of transgender people QUOTES

1 " Trans people are forced to be the proverbial cities on a hill which act as instruction and insight to others. Their bravery creates a presence which gives others the opportunity to challenge their biases and overcome them. It’s an uncomfortable role that few of us would actively seek. In your love for them, you play a similar role. You offer a glimpse to others about what love, support, and courage look like. "

2 " It’s important to understand that no one can return to the persona they were prior to coming out. Once they’ve stepped through the door something significant and integral shifts within them. If fear or relational disruption causes them to go back into hiding, they won’t be who or what they were before. They can’t be. They will be different because they are different. "
