Parents with Inconvenient Truths about Trans: Gigi & Josie","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":4624,"description":"When your child says they are trans, where can you go for guidance, support, or advocacy? How do families navigate current trends in the counseling and medical fields and get children the help they need without submitting to a path of lifelong medicalization? On today’s episode, I am joined by two moms who have undertaken a challenging journey through gender ideology in order to help parents by providing resources to families affected by gender affirming care policies around the world. Gigi Larue is proud to serve as the West Coast Intake Coordinator for Our Duty Group. This non-profit aims to provide support to parents of trans identifying youth. In December of 2020, Our Duty Group staged the first gender clinic protest at CHLA in Los Angeles. This organization evolved from 5 people standing in the rain to over a hundred in Anaheim at the AAP by October 2022. Our Duty Group’s message is getting out there and the world is waking up to this emergent medical scandal. Josie is a co-founder of the organization Parents with Inconvenient Truths about Trans (PITT).For related work and resources, please visit: Parents of ROGD KidsNew Book, “Parents with Inconvenient Truths about Trans: Tales from the Home-Front in the Fight to Save Our Kids” available 08/14/2023!
