Cis Spousal and Partner Support

There's an epidemic of cis spouses and partners leaving trans people when we come out. Worse, some cis spouses and partners hold relationships, homes, even children over us, with the threat of losing them if we transition. So let's talk about why the support of our cis partners is so vital, what it looks like, and why the opposite is so entirely devastating (and wrong). Artist Andy Alves and writer Ben Crane join us to discuss what transition was like for them and their relationship (find them at HeroesCon June 14-16)! I'm Susan's pal, and shits are fine.
