In Episode 138 (right click and and save to download here) We welcome back Kim Pearson from TransYouth Family Allies (aka TYFA) and have special guest Venessia Romero (aka Josie's mom), the mother of Josie Romero from the National Geographic Special "Sex Lies and Gender". We talk about the challenges faced by transgender youth, and the experiences of working on a documentary to bring positive awareness to the world at large. Josie's mom recounts tales of living on a conservative military base with a transgender child, and how they faced and conquered issues in the school system. We truly see that the youth of today are our future, and talk about how we as a community can build a better tomorrow for transgender kids and their families.
