⭐️Parenting Trans Kids⭐️ webinar this week!

Published about 1 year ago • 1 min read

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.

She's The He

I saw the movie “She’s The He” this week, and when it was over, I immediately wanted to see it again. It’s a teen satire about two seniors who pretend to be transgender during their last week of high school (a crush on a girl is involved). Hijinks ensue. AND one of them finds out that she actually is trans. The friend I saw it with is also the parent of a trans young adult, and we laughed til we cried, probably because we’re Gen X and appreciated this 80s- and 90s-style teen romp. But also,...

Stand in the gap

Content warning: violence against transgender women . . . This week, I attended a vigil for Persia Amarra Conway, a transgender woman who was murdered last week in Houston. She is the second transgender woman to be murdered this year in Houston; the first woman’s name is Jade Roberts. I am devastated, angry, and heartbroken - not only from thinking about my transgender friends, but also thinking about my transgender children, and how Persia’s family was treated so horribly by the Houston...
