A new year is here! The saying for this year is "Hindsight is 2020". Well, that may be true, however we'd rather be looking to the future for our "Better View", not behind us. We are so proud to be reaching so many milestones this year, and to share our journey with you all!! Here's a re-cap:
We are incredibly grateful for all of our network of friends/allies & the support/friendship/help each of you have offered in ALL the ways -- from believing in us, offering us an ear/shoulder, to lending such great advice, working beside us in the fight for trans folks, and for helping our family to fill in the gaps! This year we hope to have considerably less gaps. We have been working hard to give our children the stability they deserve, now with their little selves growing into bigger selves, we all need more room! We are looking forward to this year, as we have our fingers crossed for a raise (not certain but here's to hoping 🤞🏽) We have plans to move into a bigger place soon. Thankfully there are several options around the same price as the one-bedroom apartment we are living in now. I aspire to get my driver's license back in a few weeks, and we are hoping to get a vehicle again (which will make things like errands and doctor visits much more achievable.) The children have been enjoying being back to school from winter break. Though at first, the little one had a hard time understanding that he would still be in Kindergarten, and that this is not actually a "second year" of Kindergarten. He kept asking me why he wasn't going on to first grade and why he had to go a second year to kinder! Our oldest just turned 9 years old just before the new year! She asked to have her hair died pink for her birthday! It looks really great on her too. Our life has significantly changed in the last six years, constantly for the better! With all of you fighting the good fight with us, with trans people, all of us working to ensure trans folks have the resources they need to thrive, I see nothing but a BETTER VIEW FOR 2020!

Authors:James and Katherine are a transgender couple raising two kids. They were southerners when coming to understand themselves as trans. Ultimately it lead to a nearly three year road trip to find home. Now they are re-housed and still focused on outreach in the transgender community! Archives
