Question for discussion:

• Consider this quote from the episode by author Laurie Frankel, "Transitions of this magnitude, be they gender transitions or any kind of transitions, impact everyone in a family. And that's a good thing, not a bad thing, but it does no good to pretend it isn't true. And I wanted to look at how a transition like this affects the people who love you."
