Clark Speaks: Reflections on Transition and Identity (#83) Artwork

Transparently Speaking

We are Diana and Joy - two moms who each supported their children to transition in early elementary school to become their true selves. We are using our voices to reflect our child’s voices, and have navigated everything from family and friends, to health care offices and schools. We are here to share our experience and our learning along this transgender journey, to provide support and guidance, parent-to-parent, and if you find yourself on a similar journey, we want you to know that you are not alone. Beyond parenting, we are also excited about building a community of allies and chosen family who will stand together with us, Transparently Speaking.

Clark Speaks: Reflections on Transition and Identity (#83)

October 15, 2024 • Transparently Speaking • Season 1 • Episode 83

In this special episode of Transparently Speaking, we have a first-time guest: Clark. After sharing stories about him for so long, we are excited to present Clark's own voice as he opens up about his transition journey, his identity, and his thoughts on the challenges and triumphs he’s faced. Clark reflects on his childhood, discusses navigating life as a transgender man, and offers his insights on issues like misgendering, the importance of safe environments, and what he hopes for the future of transgender rights.

Tune in to hear Clark’s perspective on what it means to be himself, how he approaches relationships and community, and his advice for transgender and nonbinary kids just starting their journeys. This is an episode full of heart, honesty, and powerful insights—don’t miss it!
