KathyDan and Jess had a great chat this week about the LGBTQIA+ community. Jess shares some history on how the civil rights movement started providing gay rights and KathyDan defines what all those letters stand for. The ladies discuss how growing up gay can inherently create trauma and the importance of finding a therapist who is experienced in supporting and affirming LGBTQIA+ identity while also providing meaningful access to resources and supports that will allow the individual Ito thrive. The Asked and Answered listener question hit home for KathyDan this week as she shared some ideas on how to better manage a child's (and parent's) anxiety about leaving home for college.*************************Media Mentioned in today's episode:Armchair Expert w/ Dax Shepard- Dwayne Wade(Start at 56 minutes)https://open.spotify.com/episode/0ul9xjDcUTQHTF2CFeDjMH?si=mfNvbLZtQFefGN-ziTlxtA&context=spotify%3Ashow%3A6kAsbP8pxwaU2kPibKTuHEResources:The Trevor Project: https://www.thetrevorproject.org/Safe Schools Coalition: http://safeschoolscoalition.org/Bi.org: https://bi.org/enGLSEN: https://www.glsen.org/National Center for Transgender Equality: https://transequality.org/National Resource Center for LGBT Aging: https://www.lgbtagingcenter.org/National Center for Lesbian Rights: https://www.nclrights.org/GLAAD: www.glaad.org*************************DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for educational purposes only and does not replace the advice you may be receiving from a licensed therapist.This podcast and website represents the opinions of KathyDan Moore, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Co-Host Jess Lowe, and their guests to the show and website.

#S2 E4- Service providers, including mental health professionals, may be called upon to support a transgender (“trans”) older adult. Supporting trans older adults has much in common with supporting non-trans older adults. This presentation includes general reminders --- like listen rather than give advice, empower rather than “do”, and be open to learning. It also goes into many of the areas in which trans people differ from their non-trans peers, and advises allies on how they can best support the trans older adult in each arena.In this CEU podcast episode, you'll discover: 3 ways that professionals and helpers can be an ally to transgender older adultsWhat the terms paradox meansDifferences between people who transitioned in their younger years versus people who transitioned in their older years.Today's guest, Loree Cook-Daniels, has been working on both LGBT and aging issues since 1974. She founded the Transgender Aging Network in 1998, and in 2000 became the Policy and Program Director for FORGE, a 26-year-old national transgender and SOFFA (Significant Others, Friends, Family, and Allies) and was a founding partner in the National Resource Center on LGBT Aging and remains its primary transgender expert.Click here to access the show notes of this episode and to get all the resources discussed in this episode. Attention Social Workers, Psychologists, Therapists, Aging Life Care Experts: Click here to learn more about earning CEUs for listening to this podcast.

For Mindy Cheek, senior vice president at Greystone, diversity isn't a corporate policy or a buzzword; it's an integral part of daily life, and for those who have been victims of discrimination and hate, treating the need for diversity and inclusion as anything less misses the wider point about representation and dignity. Susan Ryan sat down with Mindy in episode 97.   In this episode of “Let Me Say This About That” Marla and Mary explore a number of topics they discussed, including the five basic points of a multi-layered topic.  What does it mean to be diverse, why it is important NOT to assume, listening for cues, building rapport and why it is important to be a tide riser! Intersectionality was a new term mentioned in the episode, and Marla takes a closer look at its definition, when it was first created, and why it is important in this discussion about LGBT rights. We also talk more about the contents of the North Texas LGBT-Friendly Senior Housing Guide and the criteria that organizations must meet to be listed within the booklet. Mindy said it was one of the best things that she did outside of the education work that she performs.   Show notes/callll to action: Explore the housing guide here: https://www.cfa.lgbt/lgbt-friendly-senior-housing.html National Resource Center on LGBT Aging and SAGE here: https://www.lgbtagingcenter.org/resources/pdfs/IntersectionAgeRaceandSexuality.docx.pdf Learn more about the story behind intersectionality: “Demarginalizing The Intersection Of Race And Sex: A Black Feminist Critique Of Antidiscrimination Doctrine, Feminist Theory And Antiracist Politics.”

Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) older adults have lived through a lifetime of discrimination, social stigma, prejudice, and marginalization.  Is the care that we are giving them in later life changing any of that or are we pushing them back into the closet? This is what we talk about in this week's podcast with Carey Candrian from the University of Colorado School of Medicine, and Angela Primbas from Stanford University (and future geriatrics fellow at UCSF!).   Carey has published a wonderful article in the Gerontologist titled “She's Dying and I Can't Say We're Married?”: End-of-Life Care for LGBT Older Adults, in which she describes how older LGBT adults may be at higher risk for having their health care wishes ignored or disregarded, their families of choice are less likely to be included in their decision making, and they may experience increased isolation, bullying, mistreatment, or abuse, which ultimately contribute to receipt of poor-quality health care.  We talk about the scripts that we use in medicine that may hamper open discussions about sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) including the term “family meeting”, the need to revise our intake forms to incorporate SOGI questions, and the need for education.  We also get a chance to hear Alex Sing “The Story” whose lyrics very much speak to the subject at hand: “All of these lines across my faceTell you the story of who I amSo many stories of where I've beenAnd how I got to where I amBut these stories don't mean anythingWhen you've got no one to tell them to…” If you want to learn more, please check out these wonderful resources: LGBT Resource Center https://www.lgbtagingcenter.org LGBTQ Resource List from GLAAD: https://www.glaad.org/resourcelist National Resource Center on LGBT Aging: https://www.lgbtagingcenter.org/ Services and Advocacy for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Elders (SAGE): https://www.sageusa.org/

Peter Fox has a natural connection with older adults. An only child whose parents had him later in life and who were his best friends growing up, he also cared for an elderly neighbor in New York and now looks after a 92-year-old in his Palm Beach condominium. But it's his partner Gary who he anticipates caring for in a big way in the near future. Although he's fit and not on any medication, Gary is 73 years old. Peter is 38. In today's show the couple talks about their age difference, how they support each other and their end-of-life wishes. Peter also talks about his own health complications, his fears about the rise of hate crimes, healthcare from the LGBT perspective and why his new specialty is dry parties.
