The Trans Youth Emergency Project of Campaign for Southern Equality will host a free online youth and parent support session led by the amazing mothasistah™ and yours truly!

Join us on Monday, June 2 from 5:30-7pm CT / 6:30-8pm ET to gather in community to share fears, feelings, challenges, and hopes with each other.

If you missed the last "Parenting Trans Kids in Tough Times" webinar, you're in luck, because Part II is just around the corner!

Join us for Parenting Trans Kids in Tough Times: Find Your People on April 10 from 4-6pm PDT / 6-8pm CDT.

It’s a tough time for transgender people and those of you who love and support them, as hateful anti-trans messaging and policy-making seek to drive them back out of public life. But trans people have a long history of mobilizing resources and fighting for recognition and inclusion. We’ll be talking about the importance of community and how to find it.

I’ll be in good company with Dr. Travers (Simon Frasier University), Dr. j wallace skelton (University of Regina, and Dr. Syrus Marcus Ware (McMaster University).

The webinar is free and includes lots of time for questions but will not be recorded.

I'm a big fan of PFLAG, and I'm thrilled to be the guest speaker at the PFLAG Houston general meeting on March 9.

I'll be speaking on "Turning Allyship into Action." All are welcome!

The PFLAG Houston monthly general meeting is on Sunday, March 9th, inside the Montrose Center (401 Branard Street, Houston, Texas 77006) in Room 112/113 at 2:00pm until 4:00pm. Support groups will start at 3:15 PM.

Mandy will join Dr. Travers and Dr. j wallace skelton for the upcoming free webinar “Parenting Trans Kids in Tough Times” on January 30, 4pm PST/6pm CST.

We’ll provide parents of trans kids resources to understand the current political climates in Canada and the U.S. and to support and advocate for your kids.
