My Heart. "James", 8 and his cis-gender brother, Bay Area, California. “Over the last six months, my child has transitioned and transformed. He has become more confident, happier, and lighter...My child has been told, by kids at school, that he is not a boy or a girl, but an “it.” He has been questioned by skeptical kids and adults. Some of his old friends go out of their way to use his dead name or the wrong pronouns. He has chosen to not go to parties, play dates, sleepovers, camps, and other activities due to trepidation about dealing with some of these children…We are working hard to create a community for our child to thrive in. We didn't know anything about gender creative children and have had to learn a lot in a short period of time…My child is special, not because he is a transgender boy, but because of his profound empathy, bravery, and emotional wisdom...Our eight-year-old warrior is fighting to be himself. We are standing by him as his allies and fighting for his right to be seen as the normal, happy, brave, empathetic, nurturing, creative person that he is.” #transgender #transcendingself #annietritt #transgenderboy #momlife #gender #bayarea #brave #transition #progressnotperfection #selflove #publicdisplayofselflove

Grateful to escape for a brief moment, with my man. Exploring Northern California beaches, eating yummy fresh food, and staying at a lovely bed breakfast made a perfect escape. #teninvernesswaybedandbreakfast #teninvernessway #pointreyes #northerncalifornia #stinsonbeach #love #myman #bnb #oysters #withoutkids #couples #roadtrip #progressnotperfection #coldsummer #marinsunfarms #relationshipgoals #grateful #vacation #publicdisplayofselflove

My Public Display of Self Love journey worked. I released the weight, and gained self worth. Through sharing my imperfections transparently, I've been able to shift the pain and shame and create gratitude and resilience. I have been able to touch and inspire some people along the way. I have been held, seen, and loved by many. Thank you for witnessing my transformation. I am forever grateful.
