Adrien Lawyer is the founder and director of the Transgender Resource Center of New Mexico, an organization that “provides support, community, and connection to transgender, gender nonconforming, nonbinary, and gender variant people and their families through advocacy, education, and direct services.”
For this conversation I wanted to avoid the trap of asking easy questions and settling for easy answers, and instead just let my confusion and my preconceptions hang out there to see what came back at me. I learned a lot.
Whether you identify as transgender, or as someone who is questioning, or as an ally, or as someone who is confused, skeptical, or ambivalent on the subject of transgender identity and rights, I think you’re going to get something out of this exchange.
