Letter: To the transgender Utah kids who are struggling, 'remember that you are loved... and please talk to someone about how you are feeling. Let them know what you need. Allow yourself to be loved by those around you.'
I work with a lot of kids just like you on a daily basis and I want you to know that despite what the decisions of a political majority might make it feel like, you are wonderful and there are a lot of people who have your back! You didn’t ask to feel like a stranger in your own body. You didn’t ask to experience the conflict that consumes you. I know you fight every day to feel “normal.” I know you fight every day to help those people around you understand what you are feeling.
I’m just so sorry. I feel so frustrated too. One of the favorite parts of my job is working with kids like you to help them and their parents make important decisions about how to reconcile the body you were born with and the truth of your soul. I feel honored to be a part of those interactions and it hurts a lot to be told that those carefully constructed decisions involving you, your family, and many really smart professionals have been overruled by people who have no business interfering.
Second, please talk to someone about how you are feeling. Let them know what you need. Allow yourself to be loved by those around you.
