Meet Erica.  Erica is a boisterous, kind, ray of sunshine.  I knew her for about a year and a half before she shared with me that her wife of 11 years decided to re-assign genders and make the transition to a man.  Our subsequent conversation about this life transition was transformative for me.  Sitting down with someone who is not like me and having them educate me about something I don't understand in a kind, loving way made me realize how rare these types of conversations are.  It wasn't contentious, it wasn't hateful, nor was it judgmental - this was a discussion about a big topic between two people wanting an education.  This interview is about acceptance and unconditional love in all of it's various forms.  Please listen to it with an open mind and heart.  Contains some language about sexual situations and body parts.
