Putting Aside our Frustrations and Helping Each Other to Become Better Allies

Hello Everyone! I really appreciated this discussion with Will Fullwood and Jack. I had the opportunity to talk to Jack before with Nick Paro and I’d been eager to hear more of his perspective.We covered a lot of ground and I knew that both Will and Jack could provide guidance on some concepts that have been troubling me. Specifically, I’m concerned with how easy it is for people who should be allies to fall into the illusion of a disagreement. I’ve thought more about this conversation, and I think I have some new ideas, so that’s invaluable.We need allies, we need wonderful people, we need safe spaces. Jack recommended the book “Gender Magic,” so I thought I’d share it here.I hope you enjoy this conversation!Thank you Mandy Ohman, Margaret Williams, MS, ACC, Brandon Ellrich, Jeanne Elbe, Catherine Mommsen, and many others for tuning into my live video with Will Fullwood!
