Come be with people who just get it.

Reader, I talk to so many parents of trans kids who crave being in a space where you don’t have to explain everything about your kid.

Where folks understand what you’re going through and what your kid is going through.

And that’s other parents of trans kids. They just get it.

But those spaces can be really hard to find.

So we’ve made it easy for you!

The Parents of Trans Youth Community - PTYC - is a secure, online space for parents/caregivers who affirm and support their trans youth and young adults.

This month's application window is open through November 6.

From a trusted source: It's no secret that this administration is trying to erase LGBTQIA+ lived experience.
