Being 'great' at Grand-parenting isn't so hard. But what happens when you're a Grandparent and you've learned one of your grandchildren is trans? How do you keep the 'Grand' in Grandparent?Welcome to Season 3: Episode 31 of Hey, Cis!Want to be THAT Grandparent who has earned their bragging rights? In the season launch episode of Hey, Cis! podcast, we're celebrating Grandparents Day leading up to September 11th and talking with Trans Black activist and public speaker, Chris Cochrane (She/Her), about the challenges that relationships between Grandparents and family members experience, after learning they have a gender-expansive, transgender or non-binary grandchild.And it's not only for Grandparents, Nona's, Papa's and Ami's! Maybe you're the parent or caregiver grappling with this very situation. Or a close family member. Tune-in and go beyond binary with us.Our guest Chris Cochrane is from Glace Bay, Nova Scotia and shares her experience transitioning and the reactions of some extended family. Chris speaks and educates about her lived experience through her intersectionality. Chris is also a Grandparent, or as she says, 'Ami' because she's just too young to be a Grandma! Chris has five grandchildren - yep, five fab grandkids and she talks with Isaac and Cyn, about ways for Grandparents (and extended family members) can focus on strengthening family connections, rather than dismantling them; while they learn to understand the complexities of gender identity.You won't want to miss this episode.
