Tomorrow Will Be Different: Love, Loss and the Fight for Trans Equality🍒🍒🍒🍒
By Sarah McBride
2018
Crown Archetype

A journey from self- loathing to self- acceptance to fear about being a trans, nothing stopped Sarah from her goal, becoming an intern in the white house.
Coming out as gay was difficult, but being surrounded with supportive and loving acceptance, not just tolerance made it a positive for everyone. He also has a brother who is gay. And another brother who is straight.
Coming out as a Trans, there was the same love and support from his family, but much of society and many co workers and friends would not accept it. She used this negative energy for positive means, working with and forming ENDA:Employment Nondiscrimination Act. One of many organizations she worked with to fight for acceptance, rights and homelessness.
Until the Clinton administration, LGBTQ people were routinely denied security clearance simply because of who they are. In 2012 Hillary Clinton adopted a new policy for changing gender markers on passports, which was endorsed by Obama. It made identify and proof of individuals identity much easier. As a Trans, even opening a bank account or cashing a check can become a problem. Many are no longer accepted in their families, 40% of all homeless youth are Trans.
Think about that. I did.

I really admire Sarah McBride. Her positive, unending belief in her own future and the future of all people living with societal bias, is uplifting. I have learned and re -thought many of the issues surrounding Trans after reading this book. I feel it is important to have positive, successful role models, who are inspiring, not just in their support to those like them, but to so many that never have any interaction with them, and are therefore quick to judge. Feeling comfortable with who you are opens your heart and spirit to accept those around you that are different than you, but it's not as easy it should be.
Amazing book. Everyone should read this.
Highly recommended
The forward by Joe Biden is absolutely wonderful, and on point.

Inspiring, compelling and powerful book. McBride is a fearless leader that is breaking barriers in the fight for equality. Mixing tragic heartache with unending hope. This book is released during a critical time for the LGBTQ community and the nation. I recommended the book if you want to learn about transgender people and how to stand up & speak up for the rights of all people.

So many complicated feelings but ultimately glad I read it

Sarah's story, both personal and political, is so inspiring.
