Summary
With a growing social media page discussing everything from parenthood to gender, exploring masculinity/femininity and labels for things that perhaps have always been there. We discuss Mike’s journey through their experience with gender, as well as how to be a better ally (like what do we do if we mislabel someone with the wrong pronouns?). I appreciate Mike’s openness to explore themselves as well as leaving things open-ended for change. The process of figuring out one’s self is not a destination, but a journey. One filled with change, resistance, and acceptance.
Follow along with Mike’s journey @EverdayGirlDad on Instagram.
