Sarah and Lisa discuss the New York Times Daily episode about a Tennessee family seeking refuge in Connecticut in their pursuit of puberty blockers and hormones for their distressed child. We contrast that the stories of parents we’ve bore witness to and catalogued for many years now: parents who’ve seen their relationships with their children harmed by the very professionals who should have protected and strengthened those relationships.

We also talk about the UK puberty blocker trial and, just in time for the holidays, Gender GP crosses the pond to come to the US. Lucky us!

For our non-gender recs of the week:

Make a fire whenever you can!
