My guest today is Pamela Garfield-Jaeger, a Licensed Social Worker who describes herself as ‘awake, but not woke’ — a phrase I love and might appropriate myself. She earned a Masters in Social Work from New York University in 1999 before moving to the San Francisco Bay Area to work with teens in school and outpatient settings. Today she’s an author, speaker and consultant specializing in youth gender issues, and there’s a good chance you’re already familiar with her work.

You may not know that in 2016 Pam’s life took a difficult turn that in retrospect may have given her a uniquely accurate perspective on the gender-ideology landscape. That’s roughy where we begin the conversation.
