ThriveCast #15 -- How To Approach Negative Analysis of Trans Journeys

This week we are honored to have our newest Thrive LGBTQ+ Board Members, Stephanie Preston Hughes, LHMC, on the ThriveCast. We will be discussing an article by Dr. Ryan T. Anderson that ex-gay/conservative activists are using to stigmatize trans people. We talk about the study in question, the full context, and why biased analysis like this should really be put in its proper context. We also have some encouragement for our Trans viewers who may have been discouraged in their journey because of these types of articles. Stephanie's Bio -- Stephanie is a skilled therapist serving Orlando, Orange County, and the greater Central Florida area. She is eager to bring to work for you her many years of experience with conducting initial assessments, providing individual counseling, facilitating support groups, presenting educational workshops, and supervising graduate students. While Stephanie specializes in care for the LGBTQ+ community, people in active recovery, and those who have been hurt by religion, she loves working with all kinds of clients. Whether you are seeking help for depression, anxiety, gender transition, or supporting a loved one, you will be welcomed with a genuinely warm but direct approach.
