⭐️Parenting Trans Kids⭐️ webinar this week!

Published 12 months 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.

Intentional joy

This week, I gave a presentation to PFLAG Manhattan Beach/South Bay; they wanted to hear all about what's new at Parents of Trans Youth and "how I'm still standing in these unprecedented times." At the top of my list is intentional joy. For me, laughter and silliness are crucial, and I try not to take myself too seriously. Halloween 2025 When watch TV, I choose funny shows to balance out the dystopian shows I watch with my husband. I'm currently enjoying Broad City 👇 We laugh a lot in the...
