⭐️Parenting Trans Kids⭐️ webinar this week!

Published 10 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.

⭐️ And now, a word from our sponsor! ⭐️

These two cases represent two teenage girls from West Virginia and Idaho, who sued just to be allowed to continue playing sports like any other student.
