Thanks so much—your comment really made my day. I wasn’t sure if people would find this piece relatable but then I thought—I bet the right people will. I can tell you’re the right kinda person. 🖤

Also!! While I have you here, I clicked through to your profile and saw your article about grief around parenting a trans child and am now wondering if we are like, long-lost best friends. I just founded a publication called Pink Hair & Pronouns with the hope of creating an online space for storytelling/advice/support for parents of gender nonconforming kids. I’d LOVE to share your article there, and have you onboard as a writer. Any interest? If so, LMK and I’ll add you as a writer straight away.

We ally parents of queer kids who love The Cure need to stick together. There are literally dozens of us!
