Transparently Speaking

18. Siblings and Boundaries


Listen Later

Join Diana and Joy as we explore privacy boundaries to support our children of trans-experience; in this episode we reflect on how we set expectations that siblings are not to talk about or mention anything related to their brother or sister being transgender. We distinguish between talking openly within the family about our transgender children’s transition and require confidentiality outside of the family.  We grapple with age considerations and hold a belief around the importance of allowing our transgender children to determine if and when they want to tell their story. We also explore consequences and Joy shares her and her husband Hugh’s approach to a challenging situation with Samantha’s twin brother Bobby.
