In The End It All Works Out

If you’ve been listing to the show from the start you’ve most
likely heard episode 4 called The Trans Experience. That episode
continues to be one of our top downloaded episodes and is also
the episode I get the most feedback on from people all over the
world about how much it has helped them in one way or another.


With that said, today we will have the chance to hear another
story from a transgender women. Today you’ll be listening to
Sharon Brown’s story. Sharon is a trans women of color who grew
up in the south. Today she resides here in Los Angeles, CA. 


Im excited to share Sharon story because I think it sheds a light
on the segregation within ones own family that not only trans men
and women experience but many LGBT people in general are faced
with throughout our lives. At times the distance can be
self-inflicted, and more often than not, it is put into motion by
family members. That is a big part of Sharon’s story. In fact it
is something that shaped her upbringing, and what life looked
like for the majority of her adult life. 


Telling Sharon’s story is meant to further our mission to unity
two communities together in acceptance. I firmly believe that
when those non-accepting, or those whom don’t understand the LGBT
community, take the time to humble themselves and try to find
some commonality between the LGBT community and themselves, that
the possibilities for acceptance are endless.
