Joy shared
Today we went out to Malibu Lagoon with Erin and had a lovely time. There are pictures here if you'd like to see. On our way home I asked Erin what she'd thought when Travis told her about Alexander. She said she was fine with it, was not down on it at all. "That's good to hear," I replied, "Because we're trans too." And oh the relief, the JOY of hearing her accept us and not judge or reject or condemn...it was the sweetest thing you can imagine multiplied a thousand fold. She was grateful to us for sharing this with her. I'm grateful to her for being so open and accepting.
We were both nervous about outing ourselves to her because she's one of Travis's oldest friends and someone whose friendship we treasure even if we don't see her that often. Her rejection would have been very painful. It would also have made for an awkward few days if she'd been upset by it.
It's all been made better by my friends on Twitter whose encouragement and support have been rewarded with this wonderful news. Joy shared is joy multiplied, and there are a lot of joyful people out there in Twitterland today, but none moreso than we. :)
