January 09, 2024TRIGGER WARNING: Mentions Suicide
Dearly Beloved,
TW
One of the HARDEST parts of the work I do is coming face to face with parents AND our roles as “guardians of our children.”
In yesterday’s episode of the #Moms4TransKids podcast, our guest was open.
She was raw.
She was honest.
She was accepting.
She admitted her mistakes as a former right wing, Christian conservative parent who fought.
She fought the truth about her trans masc son’s true gender identity.
She used Biblical principles to support her original thoughts.
Unfortunately, her child’s mental health took a near fatal hit…several times before she finally came around.
Dearly Beloved, our kids love us.
Our trans kids love us.
They will do anything to get our love, affirmation and validation.
They’ll do anything for our support.
They’ll do anything for us to see them…as they are.
Including hurting themselves just for us to see them.
Studies by The Trevor Project show that gender diverse youth have higher rates of depression, anxiety, suicidal behavior and suicide.
They also show that these rates DRASTICALLY decrease with parental and family support and affirmation.
In this episode, we talk about parental unlearning, learning, and “our roles” in our Q+ kids’ suicidal behaviors.
Yes, it happens.
See link below to listen. Remember to hit the follow button, leave us a review and be sure to share your thoughts with us.
I really want to open up conversations.
The tough ones like this.

Let’s do this.
