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?
