interlude

so my girlfriend is [becoming] a boy.

nobody's really all that surprised.

i'm getting used to the new name, i'm even doing ok with "he" (although i still hate gendered pronouns more than just about anything on the planet), but in light of this, please forgive me if i have a hard time with the word "boyfriend."

quote of the day on sunday, while walking from the car into the airport:
"your family is amazing."

such a good weekend.

This post makes me so happy, particularly the latter half.

The labels will come and go. Maybe you will find a term that works better than "boyfriend", maybe you will grow into a varied definition of the term. To borrow the words of poet Andrea Gibson, "You are whoever you are when you are it."

...but you know this already.

I highly respect both of you. I hope you continue to share this journey with us.
