Part Two : Why I Don’t Date Transphobic Women

In Part Two of “Why I Don’t Date Transphobic Women,” Markieta shares how a dating boundary rooted in her values unexpectedly came full circle.

After previously walking away from a potential relationship because of a woman’s transphobic beliefs, Markieta was recently contacted by an incarcerated trans woman who founded an LGBTQ+ organization within her prison. The connection caused Markieta to reflect on why choosing partners who respect the humanity of others matters far beyond romantic compatibility.

As this new connection develops, supporting the organization may require Markieta to travel to the prison to encourage its founder and LGBTQ+ members in person. She considers how different that experience might be if she were partnered with someone who questioned her involvement simply because the community leader is transgender.

This episode explores dating boundaries, LGBTQ+ solidarity, allyship, human dignity, and the importance of choosing relationships that don’t require you to compromise your values.

Sometimes the people we choose not to make room for create space for connections we never expected.

Listen to Part Two to hear how one dating boundary came full circle.
