Summary

Hey, Fellow Travelers. Liam has just come out to his family as a transgender man and begun hormone replacement therapy. His sister is getting married soon and he promised to be her Maid of Honor, and while he no longer feels comfortable wearing a dress, he also doesn't want to make things awkward for his sister and the rest of the family. We discuss his struggle over his gender expression and help him to see that being true to himself is what will ultimately make everyone most comfortable.

If you have a dilemma you’d like to discuss with us—big or small—email us at [email protected].
