I know what it's like to work with professionals who solely accept gay people, versus professionals who are culturally queer, aware of neurodivergence, and use that understanding in how they navigate the world. That's why my client experience is heavily informed by my own queerness and my experience as a trans person. Being able to let your guard down and laugh and connect over shared lived experiences is just a different level, and I wish that for everyone I work with.
