After infertility treatment, a challenging pregnancy and a sexual assault, Alex found her relationship drifting apart for reasons she couldn’t fully understand. But when her partner finally disclosed that they wanted to transition to being a woman, Alex had to come to terms with something she never expected: being part of a LBTQIA+ family. In this conversation, she explores her compassionate response to her former partner’s needs, how it has changed her viewpoint on life, and how life can be remade in the face of the unexpected. </p><p><br></p><p><strong><u>ALEXANDRA LINKS</u></strong></p><p><a href=\"http://www.alexandraheminsley.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Online</a></p><p><a href=\"http://www.alexandraheminsley.com/#\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Books</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.penguin.co.uk/authors/1069406/alexandra-heminsley.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Some Body To Love</a></p><p><a href=\"http://www.alexandraheminsley.com/home/journalism/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Journalism</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/28/podcasts/the-daily/genetics-dna-tests-ancestry.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Daily (podcast mentioned)</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong><u>KATHERINE LINKS</u></strong></p><p><a href=\"https://www.patreon.com/katherinemay\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Patreon</a></p><p><a href=\"https://katherine-may.co.uk/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Homepage</a></p><p><a href=\"https://twitter.com/_katherine_may_\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/katherinemay_/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram</a></p><p><a href=\"https://bookshop.org/books/wintering-the-power-of-rest-and-retreat-in-difficult-times/9780593189481\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Wintering Sessions</a></p><p><a href=\"https://katherine-may.teachable.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Katherine's writing class</a></p>","author_name":"Katherine May"}
