What Would You Want for Your Own Kids? Supporting Trans and Gender-Diverse Children at School

In this early Hey, Cis! archive episode, Cynthia Sweeney speaks with Megan K, a Nova Scotia parent of a transgender daughter, about what it means to support a child as they begin to express who they are.

Together, they explore the importance of affirming school environments, responsive educators, and the everyday courage it takes for families to help children feel safe, seen, and celebrated.

This conversation looks at:

• how children begin to express their gender identity
• the impact of school culture on safety and wellbeing
• why early, age-appropriate conversations about gender matter
• how teachers can help reduce stigma and create belonging
• what parents and professionals can do to better support trans and gender-diverse youth

At the heart of this episode is a simple but powerful question:

If this were your child, what would you want for them?

This episode is part of the Simply Beyond archive, preserving conversations that continue to shape how we think about belonging, identity, and care.

This episode originally aired as part of the Hey, Cis! podcast series. It is now included in the Simply Beyond podcast archive.

'I was in the dark. But I wasn't alone.'

Hey, Cis! is a weekly shakedown of the binary walls around us, where hosts, Isaac Cook (He/They) and Cyn Sweeney (She/Her) are breaking it out and building a bridge. Checking their biases with empathy and humility and questioning the status quo.

In 2020 the pandemic impacted their ability to connect community and educate beyond the binary. They had a lot to talk about, so they decided to start a podcast. Cyn's a cisgender, mom of a trans child. Isaac is a transgender and non-binary, young professional.

They both work at Simply Good Form and this is part of their socially-focused outreach - building better humans; one conversation at a time. And to be clear, this also applies to themselves.
