About this episode
When his daughter came out, Joe suggested she dress at home and go back to being someone else the moment she stepped outside. He thought he was keeping her safe. Years later, researchers have put numbers to what those compromises do to a young person, and the numbers are hard to look at. They have the difference down to a list of ordinary, specific behaviors. A parent can love a child completely and still land on the wrong side of that list. And most who do believe they are protecting. Nobody has to finish working out what they believe before they start showing love in regular, simple ways.
