According to the ⁠Human Rights Campaign (HRC)⁠, About one-quarter (24%) of cisgender LGBQ+ adults, and a third (35%) of transgender adults reported cognitive disabilities, compared to less than one in ten (9%) non-LGBTQ+ adults. However, it is important to raise awareness about the LGBT-disabled community issues and understand how to employ effective strategies for living in a forever-changing world. Phenomenal Disabilities with Tree Lowe's guests, Liz Prichard and Sam Lasher, are LGTQIA partners and have been inseparable for quite a while. Each has navigated similar experiences in the neurodivergent community, previous dating journeys, chat about their careers, ableism, and current life together. With a quarter of the United States having some form of disability, Liz and Sam educate the world about solutions, navigations encountering non-disabled and non-LGBTQIA communities with ableist responses. Liz and Sam express that there is more to life by rising above negative experiences while mentoring others to live their authentic selves within the disabled/LGBTQIA communities.  For auditory listeners on the go, check out Phenomenal Disabilities with Tree Lowe on ⁠Apple Podcast⁠⁠, Amazon, Spotify, iHeart, and many more.

Despite a growing acceptance, in many parts of our society, of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQIA+) community, this subset of the population has a significantly elevated risk of addiction and mental health difficulties compared to the general U.S. adult population. Recent studies have also shown that significant differences even exist among individual LGBQ and T subgroups. Kelly and Andrew, a mother - son duo, team up to educate folks about understanding and accepting gender dysphoria.

They talk about several very important items on the Consent Calendar that got passed today. One was the lifting of a prohibition of a rule that prohibited the funding of LGBQ+ missions, affirming ministries of any kind including with food and clothing assistance and teen suicide prevention among other things.  Other regulations were overturned like the ability to file a complaint against a Bishop for performing an ordination of and LBGQ+ person.  They also give us a look a issues being considered at tomorrows conference.  Stay tuned for more updates to come.

Today on Black Focus Radio 12-2 pm on JoynetRadio.com we ask the question: How can you accept LGBQ+ but chastise Rachel Dolezal for wanting to be Black. Florida school systems issuing permission slips to study Black History. 65,000 ton of explosive dropped on Gaza that's more than one and a half times more than the two bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Transgender Issues Featuring Dr. Robin Mathy Emily Dickinson, from Amherst, Massachusetts, was one of the greatest American 19th century poets, and after hearing one of our Amherst professors explain her life and work, I fell in love with her incredible poetry. When she attended Mt. Holyoke College as a freshman, she was obligated to sign up as a “Christian,” a “Non-Christian with hope,” or a “Non-Christian without hope.” She was the only student who had ever signed up as a “Non-Christian without hope,” and she was given one semester to change her registration category. When she refused, she was asked to leave, and spent the rest of her life living in Amherst, baking cookies for children and writing her fabulous poems, which were sometimes included in her cookie packages. Her poetry was all about loss, which was much the story of her life. However, she was not self-pitying, which is part of what makes her poetry so sad and magical. Emily Dickinson always dreamed of visiting the west, but never got the chance to travel much beyond the outskirts of Amherst. She once wrote, To make a prairie, It takes one clover, and a bee. One clover and a bee. And reverie. The reverie alone will do, if bees are few. Tears come to my eyes every time I think about that poem! When I was a student at Amherst, we used to visit her grave, and I once actually knocked on the door of the house where she once lived. I explained I was a huge fan and actually got the chance to look around. I actually found a poem scribbled on a scrap of paper on a window ledge. Today we interview Dr. Robin Mathy, who describes herself as “A human who hopes.” Robin is a well-published expert on LGBTQ issues, with a specialization in transgender research and political activism based on science to debunk hateful myths about sexuality. She is also a new member of our Tuesday training group at Stanford! In addition to studying to become a TEAM therapist, Robin is a Doctor of Social Work student at Tulane University.  She is a researcher and activist who has published four books and more than 50 peer-reviewed articles or book chapters.  She is a beloved member of David and Jill's Tuesday TEAM CBT group. Rhonda kicked off today's podcast by reading two very moving endorsements from people who heard part 1 of the live work with Jessica, “Living with Regrets,” which we had published just prior to our interview with Robin. Then Rhonda kicked off our dialogue with Robin by asking if there are any special treatment considerations when you are working with trans individuals. Robin said that there really aren't—TEAM-CBT is already highly personalized and individualized, so we let the patient set the agenda. Robin emphasized the importance, of course, of being warm, affirming, and supportive. In addition, do not assume that the patient is there because of gender identity issues, or automatically refer them to a support group on that topic, because the patient's issue may be radically different, and that would amount to stereotyping your patient. I asked Robin for a simplified introduction to LGBTQ, including what these terms actually mean. That's because I have to admit I never had any good sexual diversity training during my medical school or psychiatry residency, and I suspect that some of our podcast fans, perhaps many, would also appreciate a little enlightenment based on science. Robin pointed out that transgender has to do with identity issues: what is your sense of self? Do you see yourself  more as a woman or a man? And sometimes, this will be quite different from the gender you were assigned at birth. So, for example, you may be assigned as a boy at birth, but your sense of who you are may be a girl, when you are young, and a woman as you develop during puberty. In this case, you would be a trans-gender woman. To be respectful, you should refer to a transgender woman as she or her. And, of course, if you were assigned as a girl at birth, but your sense of who you are is a boy/man, you would be a transgender man, referred to as he / him. Some transgender people are nonbinary, meaning they do not want to be referred to as either a man or a woman, and they do not want to be referred to with either binary pronoun. To be respectful and sensitive, you should always ask someone what pronouns they prefer. In contrast, the terms, LGBQ, do not refer to gender identity, but rather to sexual attraction. So, a lesbian is a woman who is sexually or romantically attracted to women, and a gay man is attracted to men, and so forth. The term, “cis,” refers to your gender that was assigned at birth. According to the National Center for Transgender Equality, When a person begins to live according to their gender identity, rather than the gender they were thought to be when they were born, this time period is called gender transition. Deciding to transition can take a lot of reflection. . . . Possible steps in a gender transition may or may not include changing your clothing, appearance, name, or the pronoun people use to refer to you (like “she,” “he,” or “they”). But it can be a bit more complex. Robin says: A lot of people like me do not actually identify as transgender. I was assigned as a male at birth, but I have always felt like a girl / woman. I think of myself as gender-diverse, not as transgender. . . I remember taking a bath with my sister when we were young, and I realized that I had something that didn't belong on me. . . . My parents raised me as a boy, but I was always effeminate. As I developed as a teenager, my transition was from being “me” to being “fully me” and completely embracing my identity as a woman. This was freeing to me. We are taught to believe that there are two types of chromosomes that determine our gender: XX for female and XY for male. But this is misleading because there is actually a broad range of chromosomal makeups (sex), sexual attractions as well as gender identities, and gender identity and sexual attraction can be completely independent. For example, someone can be a transgender woman, and be attracted to either men or women or both. Robin pointed out that some transgender women can look like glamorous women, and two transgender women have actually won national beauty contests. "It is cruel," Robin suggests," to insist that transgender women must use men's bathrooms, just because they have the XY chromosome set." She pointed out that gender identity usually develops by age 7, but in trans individuals the incongruity between their gender identity and sex assigned at birth crystallizes at around age 10 or 11, during puberty. Although many transgender people recall being gender nonconforming and/or identifying as another gender in early childhood, we now know this is not always the case. We discussed the pain of discrimination trans individuals face, and Robin described her own suicide attempt in her early twenties, in part because her male sexual organs and secondary sex characteristics like facial hair “disgusted me.”  Fortunately, she was assigned a very understanding gay psychiatrist in the hospital, and he said that she could start transitional hormone therapy right away if she was interested, and this was a great help. She said that she was a candidate for the Olympic wrestling team, and it was clear that she did not appear feminine to others because of her muscles, and she experienced a great deal of ridicule and rejection when began to transition. This negative bias included some medical professionals she consulted for help. Eventually she was able to obtain gender-affirming surgery. She said she came out as gender-diverse in March 2023 to be an advocate because 24 states in just the past three years have banned gender-affirming medical care for minors. Robin also clarified the meaning of the term, queer, which used to be a pejorative term. Now it is embraced by the LGBTQ community as a term referring to all sexual and gender minorities. Toward the end of our interview, Robin emphasized the importance of hope, and said she had a “glimmer” of hope, even in her darkest hours. To learn more about Robin's pioneering work, or if you are interested in the science and research regarding transgender issues, Robin warmly invites you to visit her YouTube channel, (27) Robin Mathy - YouTube. She says, “Please feel free to disseminate the information” and wants you to know that “I love comments (positive and negative).” So give her some feedback if you're so inclined! Thanks for listening today! Robin, Rhonda and David

With Kairyn Potts, social media influencer and creator (@ohkairyn) and writer, actor, model, and TV host. Digital hate, harassment, and violence hurts so many women, girls, and Two Spirit, trans, and non-binary people in Canada. Content creators who address gender justice issues like Kairyn have a lot to teach us about it. 1 in 5 women experience online harassment in Canada. Indigenous, Black, and racialized women and 2SLGBTQIA+ people are amongst those who face higher risks. Thirty per cent of Indigenous women experience unwanted behaviour online.

Trans people are being attacked across the country. In the past year alone, more than 480 bills have been introduced into legislative sessions, many of them targeting gender-affirming healthcare and LGBTQ+ educational materials in schools.

In February the CDC released its latest Youth Risk Behavior Survey findings.  Somewhat needless to say the data is discouraging.  For example, in 2021 40% of high school students, 60% of high school female students and 70% of high school LGBQ students reported feeling sad or hopeless. Among other findings, 22% of high school students had seriously considering suicide, 18% made a suicide plan and 10% had attempted suicide - these percentages are the highest reported since the first Youth Risk Behavior survey was first fielded in 2011. During this 36-minute interview Dr. Trede and Ms. Shapiro begin by discussing Youth Risk Behavior Survey findings concerning sadness and hopelessness, data concerning girls, LGBQ students and suicidality generally. They discuss timeliness of care and care integration, self harm, therapeutic approach, alternative therapies, the importance of modeling pro social behaviors, and they note subject areas to improve behavioral health policy including policies to help remove the stigma associated with behavioral health and improve family support.    Dr. Felix Trede serves as the East Boston Neighborhood Health Center/South End Community Health Center Behavioral Health Clinician and Training Coordinator.  Dr. Trede began his career as a clinical case manager/rehabilitation specialist with Bay Cove Human Services in Boston in 2008.  He joined the Behavioral Health team at SECHC as an intern in 2014 before joining as a full-time staff member in 2018.  He earned his Psy.D. at William James College.Ms. Laura Shapiro serves as an East Boston Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.  Laura's career in pediatric and community health nursing begin in 1999 when she graduated with her BSN from Simmons College. As an RN, Ms. Shaprio worked as a school nurse for the City of Medford.  During that time, she received an M.Ed in educational administration from Bridgewater State University and began her PMHNP studies. She graduated from Northeastern University in 2013 with an advanced practice degree and completed her practicum at Lynn Community Health Center where she provided psychiatric consultations at their school-based health centers.  In 2021, she began working at EBNHC as a mental health nurse practitioner.  Laura also sees patients in private practice and is an adjunct faculty at Northeastern University's Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing program.The CDC's Youth Risk Behavior Survey is at: https://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/data/yrbs/yrbs_data_summary_and_trends.htm.

This episode discusses a series of reports on the state of teen health in the U.S. First, there are shifts in youth demographics from previous years. About half of students surveyed represented racial and ethnic minority groups and 1 in 4 identified as LGBQ+. Second, substance use among U.S. high school students has declined, while use of inhalants has increased. Third, 1 in 5 U.S. high school students witnessed violence in their community. Last, reports of suicide-related outcomes among teen girls increased in 2021.

Seli Fakorzi, Director of Mental Health Operations at TimelyCare, and Gaurang Choksi, CEO and Founder of Violet, join me to discuss their partnership to bring comprehensive healthcare to college students from all socioeconomic backgrounds, genders, ethnicities, and physical abilities. Training healthcare providers with the tools to understand different communities allows clinicians to learn new ways to be more inclusive and build trusted relationships with patients. Seli explains, "Providing quality, equitable access to care is a foundational mission for Timely. We are aware that students from underserved and underrepresented populations many times possess unique barriers to care, and that has made seeking help increasingly difficult. Breaking down those barriers in as many areas as possible has been our goal. Forming this relationship and partnership with Violet will help in those areas."  Gaurang elaborates, "I'll briefly share exactly how we get to understand how a clinician is doing, and then I'll share more about how we educate. At Violet, when a clinician joins us, we go through a process called benchmarking their cultural competence. We take a look at five pillars of information, including who is that specific person, what communities their family or they belong to, we look at what are the communities they feel really confident serving. That's a clinical measure called self-efficacy that we've pulled in." "Then we also look at what are the communities they want to work with, the communities they've studied about and the communities they have worked with, using claims data and their voices. Then using all this information, we get to have clarity on is that specific provider doing well working with the BIPOC or LGBQ or TGNC communities." #TimelyCare #JoinViolet #Healthcare #VirtualCare #LGBTQHealth #TGNCHealth #BIPOCHealth #MentalHealth #HealthDisparities #HealthEquity #MinorityMentalHealth timelycare.com       joinviolet.com Download the transcript here

Dr. Kathleen Ethier joins me on the podcast this week to talk about the latest Youth Risk Behavior Survey. According to new data from CDC's Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS), America's youth are engulfed in a growing wave of sadness and violence, with teen girls and teens who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and questioning (LGBQ+) experiencing extremely high levels of violence and mental health challenges. While solving this mental health crisis seems overwhelming, one step forward is to focus on the place where 95% of kids spend much of their time – school. But how exactly can schools help to support our teens, and what can we do to further support our schools? https://www.cdc.gov/nchhstp/newsroom/2023/increased-sadness-and-violence-press-release.html Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) / 1) https://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/whatworks/what-works-overview.htm 2) Call or text 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline if you are experiencing mental health-related distress or are worried about a loved one who may need crisis support.

Recently released CDC data found that teen girls are experiencing startling levels of sadness and violence -- nearly 1 in 3 had seriously considered suicide and 57 percent felt persistently sad or hopeless. The report also found high levels of distress among LGBQ+ teens. Dr. Kathleen Ethier, director of the CDC's Division of Adolescent and School Health, discusses what's behind this crisis in teen mental health, why girls seem to be suffering more than boys, and what parents, peers, schools and communities do to help teens cope.

Carter Ray is described as a cinematic raconteur, colorful,  charismatic, and entertaining. He recently released a single called Forever Plus One (Feb. 10, 2023), which is a cross-genre, EDM inspired ballad, a declaration of unity to span a lifetime.   In 2014, Carter began documenting his transition from female to male, on the internet, in hopes of raising awareness and to help spread a message of love, validity, and the belief that no dream is too big, a message he badly needed growing up. He is now the first trans male to host his own night, “Heavenly Bodies,” at The Church at The Abbey in West Hollywood, showcasing incredible trans talent and representing the community in a very elevated way. With an award for best drama at the QueerX LA Film Festival for his debut short film The Change Up, over 500,000 social media followers, and thousands of music streams, Carter is a beacon of light and an influential advocate for the LGBQ+ community.   In our conversation, Carter and I talk about how acting led to his accidental start in music, headlining Gay Pride 2022, his monthly showcase in West Hollywood, his latest single, the inspiration for his first film, his merch ideas, and tips on getting better gigs, social media marketing, and content creation, and much more. Super nice guy! I enjoyed learning about his journey. Please enjoy my conversation with Carter Ray.

American teens are experiencing a rise in mental health challenges according to a new study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This includes high levels of sadness amid significant declines in overall well-being, especially among girls and LGBQ+ youth. Could social media be part of the problem? Dr. Sanjay Gupta turns to Professor Keneisha Sinclair-McBride, a child psychologist at Boston Children's Hospital, to unpack this data and discuss the connection between social media and youth mental health. Sanjay also asks his teenage daughter, Sky, about how social media affects our self-esteem. To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

Today we're talking about the "Asbury Revival," currently taking place at Asbury University in Kentucky. Last week, after a regular weekly chapel service at the university, students didn't leave. Instead, they continued worshiping and have not stopped for over 130 hours and counting. There have been reports of people traveling cross-country to experience this unplanned event, and many have claimed it's unlike other "revivals" that have left some skeptical. We cover the important questions that need to be asked, such as whether the gospel is actually being preached and what kind of teaching is happening in the midst of worship. We provide some encouragement and challenge for Asbury students, who have the potential to use this "revival" for God's glory even after it's over. Then, we take a look at Chelsea Handler's obsession with being childless. While guest-hosting "The Daily Show" last week, Handler did both a monologue and a skit about how "free" she is because she doesn't have kids, and she was ... really trying hard to convince us. We break down how sad it is that she feels a need to berate motherhood and children in her tirade and explain why her argument that she can do whatever she wants could very well also be true right now even if she had had children. --- Timecodes: (02:30) Asbury Revival: what's happening (12:20) Asbury: some concerns (16:14) Asbury: excitement & encouragement (23:40) Asbury: things to consider (31:49) Chelsea Handler on kids (46:19) Stats on teen girl depression --- Today's Sponsors: A'Del — go to adelnaturalcosmetics.com and enter promo code "ALLIE" for 25% off your first order!

"This Is Not Me" Trans Iranian Film -- Christina Wells, Houstonian in Chicago touring productionFirst, we speak with the director ofThis Is Not Me, a documentary about the lives of Shervin and Saman, two transgender youth coming of age in Iran. Iran is the only country in that West Asian region to recognize trans people — any other LGBQ+ identity is banned. Yet Shervin and Saman still face severe social constraints and — despite having loving and supportive parents — are forced to live covert lives, shy away from their neighbors, and even consider emigration in order to live openly as they truly are. As they pursue gender realignment options available in Iran, This Is Not Me offers a detailed depiction of the legal and social labyrinth that promises a slim aperture for freedom.Guest: Michael Buening, Director of Performing Arts and Culture, Asia Societyhttps://asiasociety.org/texas/events/30th-festival-films-iran-screening-not-meThen, we speak with Houstonian Christina Wells, currently starring in the national tour of the musical Chicago as Matron Mamma Morton.  After 25 years, Chicago is still the one musical with everything that makes Broadway shimmy-shake: a universal tale of fame, fortune, and all that jazz, with one show stopping song after another and the most astonishing dancing you've ever seen. No wonder Chicago has been honored with 6 Tony Awards®, 2 Olivier Awards, a Grammy®, and thousands of standing ovations. As we celebrate our 25th anniversary — you've got to come see why the name on everyone's lips is still…Chicago.

We bring you educational activists, advocates and guests here at the Maine Source Of Truth podcast that combined, no one else in the country can bring in one place.Today we have Jaimee Michell who founded Gays Against Groomers. She's from Wisconsin and was once a social media influencer, but now has taken on the work to shield children from the trans-cult and trans-mafia and in my brief getting to know her, she's a beacon for morality and conservative values, regardless of sexual affiliation. We should not be defined by our sex, nor our sexuality. She's exploded on the scene and the liberals are losing their minds over her work and exposure to the evils within our schools and communities as she looks to separate the LGBQ from the LGBTQ+/- & $ or whatever they have added to it recently.

They were never an "official" couple. They met on a dating app and for Elise, there were a lot of firsts: the first partner that was a woman, the first person that accepted her ace identity with understanding, the first woman she was genuinely sexually attracted too... Over a year went by before it was clear this wasn't going to evolve into something more. Not a bite of reality Elise wanted to digest. Though they've cut off all communication, Elise hasn't found the closure she needs to fully move on.  The conversation goes beyond the topic of her breakup. We talked about dating and she discovered her lack of attraction to men, how she navigated a breakup with her first boyfriend. We talked about learning to accept yourself with all the different ways we try to fit in to the world and so much more! By the end of our conversation, we find the core of what's holding her back and how she can find liberty! Listen to hear what happens.

Intro There's nothing wrong with wanting to be a strong and independent person, but it can become a toxic thing once we ignore our emotional needs and deny ourselves the help that we need. The immigrant experience is unique and can be complicated at times, and so trying to be independent from a community or from getting expert help may do you more harm than good. When we do not allow ourselves these moments of vulnerability, we put ourselves at risk of becoming even more vulnerable and confused about our immigrant journey and identity. And I'm here to tell you that it's okay to get help. It's healthy even to find someone who can help you with your journey in life as an immigrant and it's nothing to be ashamed of. So how can you start this journey of healing and where can you find the help you need? In this episode, Latinx therapist Alejandra Peña talks about the unique struggles of being an immigrant and how therapy can help you overcome your emotional traumas and mental challenges. She also shares her top therapist directories and the kinds of questions you should be asking your therapist when coming in for a session. Guest Bio Alejandra Peña is a Latinx therapist based in Austin, Texas. She currently works at a local nonprofit that helps survivors of domestic and sexual violence, and is also specialized in counseling immigrants, LGBQ+, and survivors of PTSD and trauma. Key Takeaways Reasons why immigrants need therapy [04:31] The taboo around therapy and why immigrants are finding it hard to go to therapy [10:51] Benefits of looking for a therapist who share a similar story or experience as an immigrant [16:42] Creating a checklist for the kind of therapist you want to work with [17:27] Adapting to the dominant culture vs. Embracing your cultural identity [23:26] Mental struggles that you experience when moving to a different country [30:49] Questions to ask a therapist [38:38] Recommended therapy directories [45:03] Quotes “I do think that it's important to find a therapist that you can connect with and maybe has similar experience as you, and one that you can trust.” [16:46] “Everybody's story is different. And there is going to be some sharing in therapy, so it'll be more straightforward and just safer with somebody who has a similar experience.” [17:09] “Harm can also occur if a therapist does not understand or is not trained in working with immigrants.” [19:53] “Therapy is supposed to be a safe space where you could really be yourself. And therapy doesn't have to feel like you, as a client, still needs to educate your therapist about your situation. And sometimes it can feel that way if there isn't that experience and that knowledge on the therapist's part.” [22:22] Live Your Best Life!
