  • Confusion

    The sadness that these parents support there children and except them as a “trans” person is just leading your child down a path of destruction and sadness that only the devil has provided. I am truly praying for those children that do irreversible procedures and medication. The confusion in this world is so depressing, but only Jesus Christ can save y’all. Please consider this, Diana and Joy, and have the strength to tell your child “no”. Love tells the truth. Thank you for reading this message... more

  • Excellent, compelling podcast of personal stories

    I am not a parent of a trans child, but I never miss an episode of this excellent podcast. It helps me be a better ally to friends and coworkers who are trans or have trans or nonbinary kids and to be an advocate for all LGBTQIA people. I so appreciate the clear explanation of their children’s journeys, so I don’t have to ask overly personal or inappropriate questions of friends. I deeply appreciate Joy and Diana’s courage in creating this podcast, it is really a gift and no doubt a labor of lo... more

  • Laughter, tears, and learning

    This podcast rarely fails to make me either laugh out loud or sob out loud. And it always allows me to learn. I truly appreciate the authenticity of Diana and Joy, the knowledge Diana brings as a former health care provider, and just better understanding the complex issues surrounding raising a trans child. Thank you for the excellent work you both do.
