Standing up…

Now he’s almost 20 years old with mitts for hands, size 12 men’s feet, and a deep bass voice. Now he’s talking about transitioning. And I’m so scared. I belong to enough groups to know people aren’t kind to 6ft 3in women with deep voices and adam’s apples.



Standing up, is an emotional post from a concerned and loving mom.   Michelle worries about her child.  In this case, her child was often mistaken for a girl when he (Michelle's preferred pronouns) was younger and he played dress-up when he was younger.  Now, at age 19, she's afraid that he will be we "read" on the streets and could be the victim of a hate crime.  Read the post, to feel her pain and emotions.
