Parents of Trans Youth

Parent community applications open June 29đź’Ą

Published 7 days ago • 1 min read

Reader, I talk to so many parents of trans kids who crave being in a space where you don’t have to explain everything about your kid.

Where folks understand what you’re going through and what your kid is going through.

And that’s other parents of trans kids. They just get it.

But those spaces can be really hard to find.

So we’ve made it easy for you!

The Parents of Trans Youth Community - PTYC - is a secure, online space for parents/caregivers who affirm and support their trans youth and young adults.

Our founding members are finding real, authentic connections with other parents through live events, discussion forums, and resource sharing.

The next application window is June 29-July 5 for a limited number of people, and scholarships are available.

Heads up - I’ll email you an extra time or two to remind you about the application window. If PTYC isn't a fit for you, please pass on the info to someone who could use the comfort of community.

I got my hair cut recently, and I was talking to my stylist about being an ally to the queer community. She nodded along, then after a while asked, “So… what’s an ally?” I forgot that not everyone knows what an ally is! I told her that an ally is someone from a non-marginalized group who uses their privilege to advocate for a marginalized group. They transfer the benefits of their privilege to those who lack it. She said, Oh, I’m an ally!” and gave an example of helping people in a different...

Well, Reader - the Skrmetti case didn't go the way we wanted it to. My social media feed and email inbox have been filled with responses to the SCOTUS decision, and I dreaded reading them. But I was surprised to find that most messages contained threads of hope and certainty: đź’¬ Trans people have always been here, will continue to be here, and will continue to fight, regardless of what the Supreme Court says. đź’¬ Our community of trans folks and allies will continue to look out for each other...
