"For every family dealing with a sudden, rushed transition, no matter how bad it seems, there's always hope."
A compelling and moving conversation between two sisters on the impact of transition on a family. Thank you @ImWatson91.

An aspect of the ideology that disturbs me is cutting out family and friends from your life. The people who love you unconditionally are painted as the enemy.
Exactly. There's a common narrative in online trans communities that goes something like "if you're family don't support you, you need to leave. Never feel bad for cutting out toxic people - the trans community is your new family" and it's so very sinister to me.

Yes it is. It’s these pieces of it that display the cult like aspects that freak me out. Like being lgb I never was expected to distance myself from my family. Creating toxic Us vs Them scenarios in vulnerable people’s minds isn’t very responsible.
