Martie you need to know you are my hero. I am forced by gender dysphoria to step into the ring and fight gender and transgender ignorance. You on the other hand have stepped up in a way that shows such a courageous heart to your child first and the rest of the world second.

The militantly ignorant will suck the marrow out of you bones. They are parasites and not worthy of your time. Focus on those that can learn and help them the way that you do.

It is a honor to share the field of battle with you. Never let anyone steal the hope from your life or as my Dad taught me: “Never let the bastards win!”

Warm hugs,

Emma
