My Trans Dad

This episode goes into some feelings I had around the subject of death. How death brings closure, we have cultural and societal norms around death, and how those things are missing from the experiences of children of transgender parents.

In this episode, I recorded a therapy session where I discuss my trans dad and try to work through some of the trauma associated with that.

I've never discussed this at length with my therapist before, and it came up naturally a few sessions ago, so I recorded it, and then made it ethically compliant by removing her voice and filling in so listeners know what's going on.

Content warning - there is a brief mention of sexual assault that I experienced just after I mention that I was depressed through my senior year of high school. If you skip forward maybe 15 seconds at that point you'll skip that audio.

I hope that this sheds some light to people on the gravity of working through the very real trauma of having a transgender parent.

If you'd like to share your story with me, or with listeners, please send me an email at [email protected].

Tell me specifically if it's a story I can share on the podcast, please.

I hope to hear your thoughts on these topics in the comments or in emails.
