Story #10

This is an interview, or more of a conversation, between two tansmen. They talk about their transition and just the pure joy they feel when someone calls them sir. One talks about how, as a child, he would be so jealous of his older brother and would go to bed in the morning and just wish to wake up a boy. I think I mainly enjoyed this story because I could relate to it. Being transgendered is extremely difficult. Especially when you're not out to family or friends, like me. Whenever I listen to a story and I can personally relate to it, it makes it that much better for me because I can pull from their experiences and compare them to mine.

This story has a daughter who is interviewing her father about what it was like raising a family while dealing with depression. I really enjoyed this story because the entire time you could really hear the sincerity in their voices to each other. They both seemed interested in the topic and willing to talk about it. At the very end of the interview you can hear their voices soften when they say I love you to each other and that can really tell you just how much they care about each other and appreciate each other.
