Gender questioning. Gender Expansive. Trans. Nonbinary.

Live Your Life Fully

Our lives are gendered. We are assigned a gender, sometimes even before birth. With gender comes specific hopes and expectations for our lives.

Some of us are comfortable enough with the gender assigned. Some are not. Some have learned or discovered or realized there is more to gender than a binary.

We negotiate our identities internally and externally. With the right support, there can be harmony. Without, there is discord as the inside or the outside asserts dominance.

The dominant culture believes and practices a gender binary based on assumptions about the kind of lives possible for a person based on assumptions about their sex. Gender-questioning or gender-expansive folk are likely to feel constrained in their explorations, discoveries, expressions, and identities.

Your life does not have to be limited by unexamined or ill-fitting gender assumptions, rules, or identities. You have more than the binary of conforming with the external world or retreating to your inner world.

For some, exploration may lead to greater comfort with the gender assigned. Others may find greater confidence expressing and identifying more expansively or fluidly. I can help.

I facilitate explorations. I do not determine destinations or outcomes. I am interested in you knowing who you are and how you want to be in the world. I am skilled at facilitating self-discovery and self-confidence.

It's your life. Live it to the fullest.
