Helen Joyce, author of Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality, sits down with Bridget for an in-depth conversation about the trans activist movement, what inspired her to write the book, what's changed since the book came out in 2021, the bullshit idea that everything can be blamed on feminism, the detransitioners she's met, and how the trans movement is sending women's rights back to the dark ages. They discuss the sense that women have been abandoned in the culture wars, queer theory, the rise of conspiratorial thinking, how much faith she used to have in the institutions of our society and why she no longer trusts them, the definition of a moral injury, how gender ideology breaks things in exactly the place they're meant to work, being told that it's a civil right to choose your gender, why she feels she's doing exactly what she's supposed to be doing, and why you should never validate the delusion because you will lose control of the ward.Bridget Phetasy admires grit and authenticity. On Walk-Ins Welcome, she talks about the beautiful failures and frightening successes of her own life and the lives of her guests. She doesn't conduct interviews—she has conversations. Conversations with real people about the real struggle and will remind you that we can laugh in pain and cry in joy but there's no greater mistake than hiding from it all. By embracing it all, and celebrating it with the stories she'll bring listeners, she believes that our lowest moments can be the building blocks for our eventual fulfillment.Beyond Parody with Bridget Phetasy is a reader-supported publication.

Kristin Russo - When a child or teen comes out to their parents as gay, parents are often left with many unanswered questions fueled by fear, lack of knowledge or concerns about the wellbeing of their child. The conversations that need to take place are not as much about you answering questions for your child but about your child answering questions for you. Your child has likely been navigating the coming-out process for quite some time, now, you will be faced with decisions about how you will react to the information. How will you share this information with others? How can you best support your child? What if you fear for their safety? What's the deal with pronouns? You might also grapple with how your child's sexuality fits in with your faith, your previous hopes and dreams for them and your relationship. Well, it doesn't make sense to stick our heads in the sand. It's time to learn the answers for everyday questions and concerns when you are a parent, aunt/uncle, teacher, grandparents of loved one of a kid who is gay. For guidance on this topic we have Kristin Russo on the show today. Kristin Russo is a writer, speaker, educator and consultant with a focus on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) issues. She is also co-host & producer of Buffering the Vampire Slayer alongside musician Jenny Owen Youngs, which was named one of the top 30 podcasts of the decade by Paste Magazine. She has a great book with co-author Dan Owens called This is a Book for Parents of Gay Kids.

Welcome to the QueerLBC Podcast! In today's quick T we discuss trans rights being protected, the rainbow wall, womb transplants, a new gay museum, and the write a letter to a gay friend school assignment. Then in our main topic we discuss what it's like to grow up as a gay child. With so much anti-lgbtq+ legislation going on in the United States and the world we decided we needed to take you all back to the reality of what it's like to grow up knowing you're "different" and how it affected us. This is a great episode for parents of gay children, or parents who might think that their child is "different".

This week I've got a very special guest — the wonderful Kristin Russo, whom I'm sure you know from the podcast Buffering the Vampire Slayer, the YouTube channel Everyone is Gay, the book This is a Book for Parents of Gay Kids, all-ages Pride in New York, and oh my God so many great projects. And it all started with a young queer woman watching My So-Called Life, wondering if she was more like the free-spirted Rayanne or the teen-angsty Angela. When you watch My So-Called Life, your favorite character never winds up being the one you think it'll be.We'll have that conversation in a minute.

"My topic for today is how to prepare for your child's coming out. In honor of Pride Month, it seemed like a good time to record this topic. And obviously, if you're listening to this and your child is not out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, this is a hypothetical preparation of some sort. But it's important to think about because you never know, this might be a part of your journey as a parent."   This week on the 3D Parent Podcast, we will be talking about preparing for your child's coming out, which can be a hypothetical situation for some parents but remains vitally important to talk about. I will be sharing some tips on what to avoid when a child comes out and ways you can show your support of their decision.   We will go over topics such as:    My son's own experience of coming out, and different factors that helped or hindered the process.  What to do when your child comes (and what to definitely NOT do or say!) Why the coming out of a child should lead to the whole family “coming out” as well.  After a child comes out, parents often move through different stages similar to grief. We may feel that we've lost the future we imagined for our child...but those are our dreams, not theirs. And at the end of the day, your kid is still the same wonderful person they were before they came out, and I hope this podcast episode reminds you of that!  If you enjoyed this episode of the podcast, take a screenshot, head on over to Instagram and share it your IG stories and tag me, @the3Dparent  Do you have a parenting question for an upcoming episode?

Just as it can be extremely difficult for an adolescent to navigate 'coming out' to their family, many parents also face a 'coming-out-as-the-parent-of-a-gay-child' process of their own, usually with no map or guide on how to do so in a supportive, loving and accepting way.

Kristin Russo is back for a second time! She's the co-founder & CEO of Everyone Is Gay & The Parents Project and is the host and co-producer of First Person, a video series on gender and sexuality from PBS Digital and WNET. We talk about the book tour for "This is a Book for Parents of Gay Kids" and how she became the host of "First Person" - a show about sexuality and gender…among many other things. http://everyoneisgay.com/   http://www.autostraddle.com/ http://www.isabellarotman.com/ https://www.radremedy.org/

With two authors who truly understand gay youth, this book breaks down the issues that many families face when their child comes out. This is a Book for Parents of Gay Kids speaks to parents who want practical, straightforward advice on how to communicate and better parent their LGBTQ child. For tonight's event, Danielle and Kristin will be joined by Canadian author Vivek Shraya who will read from his book, God Loves Hair, a compilation of short stories following a tender, intellectual, and curious child as he navigates complex realms of sexuality, gender, racial politics, religion, and belonging. Dannielle Owens-Reid and Kristin Russo dialogue daily with LGBTQ youth and families through their award-winning website, Everyone is Gay. Dannielle lives in Los Angeles, and Kristin lives in New York City. Vivek Shraya is an artist working in the mediums of music, performance, literature, and film. Winner of the We Are Listening International Singer-Songwriter Award, Vivek has released albums ranging from acoustic folk-rock to electro synthpop, the most recent of which is I Could Be Good for You.

October 11 was National Coming Out Day, so in honor of that I was able to interview Kristin Russo, the co-author of "This is a Book for Parents of Gay Kids." It is a fabulous book and I truly recommend it to all parents - especially new parents. It offers straightforward and practical advice on how to communicate and better parent gay children.   http://www.everyoneisgay.com/ http://theparentsproject.com/ http://www.aliforneycenter.org/ http://www.hmi.org/ (The Hetrick-Martin Institute) http://fortytonone.org/ (Cyndi Lauper's project)
