As I continue meeting people and doing training for different groups, I have heard a similar refrain from educators: teachers and school staff also have to learn about gender diversity and how to affirm their students.
So, I reached out to an experienced and compassionate former schoolteacher and principal to get her perspective on what it’s like to have a child transitioning at school.
I sat down with @elizabeth.bennett.3158 , a recently retired educator with 35 years of experience and author of the book "Courageous Conversations: a guide for parents to understand and connect with their teen." She shared the story with me of her first experience with a gender-diverse student. It was several years ago, and at the time, the family had to guide the school on how to affirm the child and what changes were needed in the classroom.

Huge congratulations to @yvonnewinkler_ on the release of her memoir today! She gave it her all in writing this book, and it is so relatable for women who have spent their lives trying to live by the rules of a patriarchal society (and isn't that all of us?!)
Yvonne Winkler was born and raised in communist East Germany until age eleven when her family left everything they knew behind in search of a better life. As a fiercely independent only child, she grew up way too fast in West Germany and again when her family immigrated to Canada, where adapting to fit in as a teen turned into several dependencies.
As an adult, Yvonne strove to find freedom by climbing the corporate ladder only to face the glass ceiling. A back to her roots backpacking trip in Europe reminded her what freedom truly meant, but she lost the lesson upon her return to overwork and at the bottom of a wine bottle. Finally, the global pandemic violently resurrected the echoes of oppression from her childhood that forced her to renew her resolve and find true freedom—within herself.
Freedom Seeker is an honest exploration of reconnecting to our feminine wisdom in a world that benefits from our distractions and subjugation.

The wheel of life is a tool I was taught to use in

The wheel of life is a tool I was taught to use in coaching school. It's a great way to have a snapshot of what areas of your life need attention.
But let's be honest, when we are in survival mode, these types of tools do not come to mind.
Looking back on the first few weeks and months after learning I had a transgender child, my romantic life, fun, personal growth and even health were not on my priority list. They weren't even in my consciousness. It wasn't until we found some semblance of routine that I could look at the whole of my life again.
But as parents of trans kids, we do need to remember our self-care because this isn't a sprint it's a marathon. That is why I included this exercise at the end of Beyond Pronouns (page 190) because your well-being matters to your child's well-being.

My next writing retreat will be from May 5 to 7, 2023 in beautiful Kananaskis!
Retreat to Relax, Be Inspired, and Write
You need a writing retreat.
You need to go away for a couple of days where you have no distractions and you have somebody to shepherd you on the process of first getting really clear on your book outline and starting you on the first step.
The first step is not writing your whole book in a weekend, the first step is writing your outline and your first two chapters. Once you have the outline you have the roadmap and you know exactly where to go. Once you’ve written the first two chapters you have found your voice and the flavor of the story.
No cooking
No caring for others
No piles of laundry
Only focused time on creativity and what brings you joy.
Are you ready? Are you ready to come write with me?
Let’s get this done.
These retreats typically sell out so if you are interested in joining us send me a DM for more information sooner rather than later.

It wasn't until I was given the gift of raising transgender children that I learned how deadly being trans could be.
I didn't know a day was dedicated to remembering those lost to violence and murder.
I didn't know there were websites that kept lists of names of the dead... all with disclaimers that the lists are not comprehensive or complete.
In case you also didn't know, so far this year, more than 386 people have been killed for being themselves. Now you know. May we remember them, and more importantly, may we work to stop the violence against transgender people.

Allow me to add to this great list of how you can

Allow me to add to this great list of how you can be an ally to the transgender community...
➡ Pass the microphone to the transgender person instead of speaking for them.
➡ When asked, advocate for the trans person who is emotionally exhausted that day.
➡ Use your pronouns to normalize people sharing their pronouns.
➡ Do not assume someone's gender by the way they dress, style their hair, or voice.
➡ Remember consent! Do not speak about someone else's journey without their consent.
ALSO... thank you. Thank you for doing the work to be an ally and continuing to show up for the trans community and ultimately yourself!

An excerpt from Beyond Pronouns.
"We have to think about our child’s gender-diversity journey as a ride on a bus, and our kids are the ones driving the bus. Your child gets to choose how fast to accelerate the bus as long as it’s within the legislated speed limits, which means your child gets to decide how fast they ask to be affirmed socially and medically within the standards of transgender medical care. Your child also gets to choose who they allow on their bus, which means they get to choose who knows about their gender identity, and they get to determine if they are the one to tell certain people or they might ask you to do it for them.
For me, allowing my child to drive the bus was a challenging undertaking. He was only eleven years old, and the idea of having an eleven-year-old in charge of these monumental decisions terrified me. But allow me to reassure you that when your child is young, you get to sit at the front." (Page 51)

A few key reminders during Transgender Awareness W

A few key reminders during Transgender Awareness Week.
Did you know that when my son Mitchell told us he was transgender in August of 2016, he was not protected under the Human Rights act in Canada? That protection didn't come into play until June 2017.
It also took another two years after that for the World Health Organization to remove the stigma of diagnosing gender diversity as a mental illness in May 2019.
That's how recent all of this is for people like my trans children and for so many of the wonderful friends I have made since starting this journey.
Our work is not done. I will use every ounce of my privilege and emotional labour to push forward for these amazing humans, and I ask you to join me in being an ally every day of the year, not only during this week or pride month. Donate, volunteer, advocate.
