some of y’all a little skeptical I like 00:36 that you better forget let’s say you go 00:39 into the story different day and so on 00:41 this day again you go in you see a store 00:44 clerk and a security guard and one of 00:46 them says hello to you only this time 00:48 when they say hello it comes out sort of 00:49 like this hello is that someone trying 00:55 to seem friendly no right so what I’m 00:58 hoping we can get from this exercise is 01:00 that simple polite gestures like Hello 01:02 don’t always equal friendly can we agree 01:04 on that and we’ve all been in a moment 01:07 or experience in which what someone said 01:09 was different than what was being 01:11 communicated does that make sense to 01:12 everyone so when I think about myself as 01:15 a trans person I’ve been out and as an 01:17 adult longer than I’ve been in the 01:19 closet right I also spent a lot of my 01:21 Shares202

time talking about identity and talking 01:23 about trans miss and I usually express 01:27 myself in a way that’s outside typical 01:28 gender norms so people are generally 01:30 rarely surprised to hear me say that I’m 01:33 trans even if they don’t quite have the 01:34 language for it does that make sense and 01:36 so that’s not surprising but what does 01:40 become surprising for folks is when I 01:42 say that I grew up in a multi-faith 01:43 household in particular that I have a 01:46 father who was raised Muslim and a 01:48 mother who was raised Christian now when 01:50 I say that people who perceive 01:52 themselves as being in solidarity with 01:54 the part of me that is trans immediately 01:56 want to focus in on my father and they 01:59 weren’t enough well what did your father 02:01 think about you coming out and when 02:04 folks asked me this question a few 02:05 Shares202

things kind of come up so one it’s clear 02:08 that they don’t think it’s important to 02:09 unpack the relationship I had with my 02:11 non-muslim parent so I noticed that I 02:14 noticed the places in which they want me 02:16 to accept or reject whatever notions 02:19 they have about who Muslim people are 02:22 here the places where they’re not 02:23 actually concerned about the real 02:24 relationship I had with my father 02:25 they’re not concerned about the standing 02:29 breakfast date we had every Saturday 02:30 morning and we would spend 30 days 02:32 arguing about who got to pay he got to 02:34 pay that day that’s why he looks so 02:35 happy they’re not concerned about the 02:38 fact that he was my best friend and the 02:40 person I spent the most time talking 02:42 about my faith and spiritual journey 02:43 with they don’t care about the old chain 02:46 Shares202

of his that I wear around my neck with 02:48 his name on it nah 02:49 they want to hear a critique how do I 02:51 know they want to hear a critique 02:53 because when I follow up their question 02:55 with wonderful stories about the 02:57 relationship between my father and I 02:58 after coming out they are always in 03:01 shock but when they’re asking this 03:04 question they’re very polite about it so 03:06 should I accept the Islamophobia 03:08 projected onto my family and my family 03:10 dynamics simply because the asker is 03:12 polite about it so just based off the 03:16 title I know for some of y’all you might 03:18 have been expecting that this was going 03:19 to be a coming-out story well surprise 03:21 I’ve been out for a long time and so I’m 03:24 not invested in dissecting that part of 03:26 my journey with you what I do want to 03:28 Shares202
