⭐️Parenting Trans Kids⭐️ webinar this week!


If you missed the last "Parenting Trans Kids in Tough Times" webinar, you're in luck, because Part II is just around the corner!

Join us for Parenting Trans Kids in Tough Times: Find Your People on April 10 from 4-6pm PDT / 6-8pm CDT.

It’s a tough time for transgender people and those of you who love and support them, as hateful anti-trans messaging and policy-making seek to drive them back out of public life.

But trans people have a long history of mobilizing resources and fighting for recognition and inclusion.

We’ll be talking about the importance of community and how to find it.

I’ll be in good company with:

✅ Dr. Travers (Simon Frasier University)
✅ Dr. j wallace skelton (University of Regina)
✅ Dr. Syrus Marcus Ware (McMaster University)

The webinar is free and includes lots of time for questions but will not be recorded.

⭐️ And now, a word from our sponsor! ⭐️

Yesterday, the Trump administration’s Department of Health and Human Services released a 409-page report on transgender youth health care entitled "Treatment for Pediatric Gender Dysphoria: Review of Evidence and Best Practices."

For allies, increasing our understanding and support of transgender people, including kids, involves a degree of humility. We have to humble that part of ourselves that needs to be right, needs to know, and needs to be in control. And that’s not easy to do. It’s not easy to recognize that what you thought was true about the world maybe wasn’t the entire picture and maybe even wrong. Sometimes we get in our bubbles and have a hard time seeing past our own experiences. It can even be helpful...
