Raising Trans Kids Amid Anti-Trans Legislation Proposals (#112) 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.

Last week brought a surge of anti-trans legislation proposals that felt impossible to ignore, especially for families raising transgender kids. In this episode, we step away from our planned content and talk honestly about what it’s like to live inside this moment, in real time.

We share how these proposals land differently depending on where our kids are in their journeys, how we’re balancing staying informed with protecting our mental health, and the small ways we’re caring for ourselves and our families as we navigate uncertainty.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, numb, or unsure what to do next, this episode offers connection, perspective, and a reminder that you’re not navigating this alone.

If you’re taking something away from our podcast, we’d appreciate it if you’d take a moment to provide us with a review; the more listeners and reviews, the more people we can reach and support.

As always, feel free to reach out to us at transparentlyspeakingpodcast@gmail.com.
