The GenderCool Project was inspired by two parents, Jen and John Grosshandler, whose daughter is transgender. During a time when they needed to find information about raising transgender kiddos, they found a lot of misinformation.

They, along with a friend (Gearah Goldstein), an expert in diversity, as well as a proud transgender person, created The GenderCool Project as a way to share positive stories of all the amazing transgender and non-binary youth.

In this episode, Jen Grosshandler, co-founder of The GenderCool Project, and a proud mom of an LGBTQ+ kiddo joins me to talk about what it was like when her child came out and how it sparked The GenderCool Project. 

Key takeaways:

• When your child tells you who they are, believe them.
• Choose a positivity-forward mindset.
• Learn to embrace change.
• Surround yourself with positive role models.
