You Are Not Alone

Two weeks ago, a member of our diocesan clergy called me in tears (and gave me permission to share their story). 

She had applied for a passport renewal in late December, but there was an administrative delay, and when the passport arrived in February it listed a gender that was different than the gender on her prior passport; a gender different from that which is listed on her birth certificate; a gender that does not reflect her identity or self-understanding; it is, however, the gender she was assigned at birth.
