@marleygotterer: Been sitting with this story for a while. Many moments of being almost published. Tears. Being told it’s not ready. Head throbbing. Having it “killed”. Well, I’m very proud of it and completely nervous to share it. I ultimately wish it connects with folx in my community and hopefully parents too. If even one parent reads the story and decides there’s time to work on themselves in order to gain a closer understanding of their trans or gay child—I’d feel accomplished. I would love to hear other people’s stories that surface while reading this piece: coming out, being hate-crimed, your dad’s passing, being diagnosed, Chatroulette, etc…my dm’s are open & feel free to email me at any point: [email protected] 🩶 #storytime #comingout #dad #writing Read in my bio or on @Them
