In my attempt to understand our transgender community a bit better, I sat down with a young man named Brit Abney to hear what he had to say. My invitation stemmed from our friendship on Facebook, and his prolific and compassionate defense of our transgender community within his own friends and followers. We talked specifically about Dr. Jordan Peterson and the controversial C-16 Bill, as well as my favorite comedian, Dave Chappelle, and his Netflix special, The Closer. During our dialogue you'll hear us debate (and disagree) on terminology related to pronouns, triggers, and microaggressions, but more importantly, you'll witness the wisdom of youth in its finest form.

I hope y'all learn as much as I did from Brit.

Biography: 
My name is Brit. I live in Denver with my wife and two kids. I'm a water resources engineer professionally and a philosopher by hobby. I like to ski, hike, scuba dive, and read whenever I get time (which isn't as much as I like thanks to my two wonderful children).
