A critical component of healing for Straight Partners and Partners of Trans People is our stories, both sharing them and hearing them. We’ve created the Our Voices page to share our latest podcasts, our blog posts, and our new video content. No matter where you are on your journey – whether you are a just a few weeks post discovery or disclosure or several years out, whether you have left your partnership or are remaining in your Mixed Orientation Relationship – you can find community, healing, insights and growth in each other’s stories. Here we share our griefs, our triumphs, our traumas and our recoveries as we forge new paths forward.

Thank you so much for your determination and commitment to making the OurVoices podcast a reality, and be such a success. Nothing like this has ever been produced for “us” before. I noted how useful it is to new people to our local group, and that’s why I put my story out there with you. You’re one in a million Kristin !
Thank you for your constant support David! It really, really helped keep me going to have a few voices like yours providing a little encouragement for me as well.
