⭐️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! ⭐️

It’s Labor Day in the U.S. - a day to honor the American labor movement and to recognize the contributions of workers. The labor movement brought us “the right to organize in the workplace, the eight-hour workday, the five day work week, workman’s compensation, the abolishment of night work without compensation, equal pay for equal work, and the abolishment of child labor … Labor may be physical, use brain power, or be a labor of love—volunteer work.” (from the Smithsonian website) So we are...
