A WORD ON COMPASSION
Cerian Jenkins’ recent article was interesting to read. I know of a number of young people who are transitioning, questioning or identifying as a gender different to the one they were assigned at birth. It’s encouraging that they feel safe and supported enough to do this openly. It also raised questions for those of us who are older, more used to thinking of the world as a binary place and fortunate enough to be secure in our identity. I think it’s up to everyone to try and be openminded, accepting and compassionate. ANNA L
