If you’re reading this then you’ve found my passion project, Grace Changes Things. Maybe you’re here because you know us and you want to learn more about our journey. Maybe you’re on your own journey and need support. Or maybe you’re still in withdrawal from the end of Schitt’s Creek and are searching for some more LGBTQ+ positivity. Whatever the reason, welcome! I’m glad you’re here! You are always welcome here. Supported here. Loved here.
I started Grace Changes Things because I was struggling to make it through this shitstorm of anti-transgender legislation and needed to find community, offer support, and spread some love. For Mama and Papa Bears out there who spend every waking hour fighting to keep your parental rights, thinking about losing gender affirming care for your beautiful trans kiddo, planning to relocate to another state or another country to protect your kids and your family, or feeling like you don’t know how you’re going to keep doing this…I SEE YOU.
For those of you who see this happening and want to learn more about the transgender experience, you’re welcome too. I’m not transgender and I’m no expert. But, I am the mother of the most beautiful girl in the world who is and she’s taught me an awful lot. I’m happy to share our experiences with you if it helps. On my website, you’ll find real life experts who will do a better job educating you, so please check out the resources for more information.
I am only the expert on our journey–and everyone’s journey is different. Every trans person’s journey is different. Every parent’s journey is different. But if hearing about ours helps you, that would make all of this worthwhile.
The mission of Grace Changes Things is to support LGBTQ+ youth and the people who love them. I encourage you to check out the wealth of resources on our website, and if you feel so inclined, subscribe to our blog so that you receive notifications when a new post is available. A podcast is also in the works! There will also be an announcement soon about how you can join us in this work so please stay tuned!
