Ep. 89: Breaking the Handcuffs - Navigating Pregnancy as a Man: A Conversation with Trystan Reese
Trystan Reese is an established thought leader, educator, and speaker, focusing on issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion. He is a professionally trained anti-racism facilitator and curriculum designer, studying under Rev. Dr. Jamie Washington at the Social Justice Training Institute. Trystan has also been organizing with the trans community for nearly two decades and has been on the frontlines of this generation’s biggest fights for LGBTQ justice.
Trystan launched onto the global stage as “the pregnant man” in 2017 when his family’s unique journey gained international media attention. He was invited to give closing performances for The Moth Mainstage in Portland, Albuquerque, and Brooklyn; a video of the Brooklyn event has garnered over 2.5 million views. Trystan partnered with many major media outlets, including CNN, NBC, People, and Buzzfeed, to bring his message of love and resilience to the mainstream.
The founder of Collaborate Consulting, Trystan provides customized training solutions for individuals, organizations, and communities interested in social justice. He has trained hundreds of medical providers on LGBTQ inclusion, has delivered keynotes at dozens of conferences and convenings, and is releasing his first book in the spring of 2021.
He is married to his partner Biff and they live in Portland, Oregon with their three kids: Lucas, Hailey, and Leo. They are very happy.
In today's conversation we cover:
1) How the current societal gender norms are rigid and harm many people, not just those in the LGBTQ+ community
2) Everyone wants to be seen and heard, and the best way to communicate our wants and needs is by listening and understanding, even if we don't like what is being said
3) We each need to do the work to develop our personal resiliency and recognize that hard conversations are not a threat (as our brain would sometimes have us believe), but instead are opportunities for us to learn and grow

I hope you enjoy the conversation!
xoxo, Jessi
