Practice with Embodied Confidence
Gender Affirming Care Training for Virtuosic Healers
You do complicated work—
—and see the world in complex ways.
If you were a musician, we’re talking Chopin.
You play intricate compositions, and you handle nuanced, layered work with a grace that’s unmistakably yours.
But with trans and nonbinary clients, suddenly it’s Chopsticks all over again.
You find yourself having to revisit the basic building blocks of your craft.
(FYI, I know you didn’t go into massive student loan debt so you could practice pronouns in a sentence grammar school-style…)
And it’s frustrating to know you’ve moved so far beyond this in every other area—but here, your hands fumble over keys that seem foreign.
The music just isn’t in you, no matter how much you long to hear it.
You’re crystal clear on this, though–
You DON’T want to be the provider who “doesn’t get it.”
—
You’ve seen those “affirming” colleagues… the tone-deaf ones who repeatedly misgender, misunderstand, and don’t self-correct. They make you furious.
I know there’s an ocean between you and them, virtuoso—
they’d confuse Beethoven with the Backstreet Boys, for god’s sake.
But…..
Even though you can feel the difference, you can’t claim it.
You just don’t have the chops yet, and you don’t want to cause harm.
You also wish you could do more about the moral panic the world is having about trans people (seriously wtf)
…hell, you’d even settle for a solid comeback to your uncle when he spouts off about drag queens and bathrooms. (Btw, I’ve got a few for you - check out my Instagram)
