Yeah.
And you talk about how there's this incredibly powerful scene in an episode of Survivor where um someone with autism says, Hey, if I get overwhelmed.
They're saying this to another contestant of who happens to be a firefighter.
If I get overwhelmed, I might need you to hold my hands and squeeze my hands and bring me back down to earth if I'm having a panic attack.
And in that moment, you say to your wife, like, I need you to do that for me.
I need you to be my person.
And I and in a way that I thought was really interesting, your wife says, like sometimes both of us are the one who needs our hands to be squeezed at the same moment.
So I I'll do it if I can, but we might both need to figure out how to um give ourselves the squeeze when we need that too.
That's
Um
As far as support systems and things that work.
Um, I'd love for you to talk about how you can find some of those.
Um, because another thing that comes up a lot in the book is you talk about how your grandparents and your mom don't have many friends, but you have a a lot of really um beautiful friendships and relationships who hold you in the ways that you need to be held, right?
You talk about how after your mom's death you're at the state fair and your friends are
with you and they don't care what you're wearing and they don't care that you have a thing of slime in your pocket that you can play with and they don't care about the fact that you're gonna cry and then laugh and and that
Well, yeah.
that is such a beautiful feeling to be with people who just accept you exactly as you are.
And yet there's a lot of people in your life who you love really deeply who didn't or don't have that as much.
So how how do you how do you consciously think about community and isolation?
Being trans makes you part of the community.
