2SLGBTQ+ advocate shares her transition journey to help others

Erin LeBlanc, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션™82, Law카지노 게임 컬렉션™12, struggled with mental health for years. She suffered from bouts of depression and doctors and therapists were assessing her for conditions such as bipolar and other disorders. 

Her path to healing didn카지노 게임 컬렉션™t truly start until she was correctly diagnosed with gender dysphoria 카지노 게임 컬렉션“ a medical condition that causes a person to struggle because their biological sex does not match their gender identity. The sense of unease can be so intense it harmfully impacts daily life.

When LeBlanc was diagnosed in the mid-1990s with gender identity disorder (as it was called then), it was good news. Finally, she understood the root cause of her mental health challenges. 

카지노 게임 컬렉션œBut at the same time, it was terrifying to understand the path forward,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says LeBlanc. 카지노 게임 컬렉션œIt was not a good time for me to begin a transition process. Medicine wasn카지노 게임 컬렉션™t ready for it. Society wasn카지노 게임 컬렉션™t ready for it. I wasn카지노 게임 컬렉션™t ready emotionally, financially, psychologically.카지노 게임 컬렉션

She decided to transition in 2015 while she was working at Smith School of Business. She says the support she received from her bosses and co-workers was phenomenal.

Today, LeBlanc 카지노 게임 컬렉션“ who retired from Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s a few years ago and now lives in London, Ont. 카지노 게임 컬렉션“ is happier and devotes her time to helping others as a consultant, author, public speaker and 2SLGBTQ+ advocate focused on assisting transgender people.

Through her company , she gives lectures and workshops to businesses and governmental organizations to make their workspaces more inclusive. She카지노 게임 컬렉션™s worked with hospitals and police forces to give advice and develop policies on how to better engage and serve the transgender community. 

She also wrote a book 카지노 게임 컬렉션“카지노 게임 컬렉션“ about her journey to overcome adversity and find the courage to be her authentic self.

Before transitioning, LeBlanc was scared to talk to others about her personal journey for fear of rejection. Her self-isolation led to a point where she felt like the only trans person in Kingston. She hopes her book and public speaking lets others know they are not alone and there is hope.

카지노 게임 컬렉션œMy story is not a 카지노 게임 컬렉션˜how to카지노 게임 컬렉션™ it is a 카지노 게임 컬렉션˜how I.카지노 게임 컬렉션™ Everyone카지노 게임 컬렉션™s journey is unique. This was my way and it worked well for me. I made it and I am a better person for being my true self,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says LeBlanc, who was the co-recipient of the 2017 Employment Equity Award at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s for developing transgender transitioning guidelines for Smith School of Business.

Her inspirational message is making an impact. Parents who hear LeBlanc카지노 게임 컬렉션™s journey tell her they have a better understanding of what their child is going through. Business leaders are surprised to learn that while there is much to be done, simple changes 카지노 게임 컬렉션“ such as gender-neutral washrooms 카지노 게임 컬렉션“ can make 2SLGBTQ+ employees and customers feel welcome and safe. 

카지노 게임 컬렉션œI like to think I am making a difference in my own little corner of the world,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says LeBlanc. 카지노 게임 컬렉션œMy hope is that my story gives others a sense of comfort and lets them know they are going to be OK.카지노 게임 컬렉션
