So, what happens for nonbinary parents once their kids are here and fully realized? How do we navigate things like school, sports, activities, and you know, other parents? And how do we navigate gender identity journeys that may still be in progress, or fluid over the course of our lives as parents? We talk about queer and nonbinary parent visibility while getting involved in our kids’ lives, raising gender creative kids, anti-trans legislation looming in places like Florida and elsewhere, and doing the proactive work to make sure our families are seen and respected. This week we talk with guests Jess Venable-Novak, and again with Meghan Myron-Karels and Ash Dasuqi.
