On today's podcast, we answer your questions!  Thank you all for sending your questions and trusting us to answer them!  We take on shot fatigue, how to react when someone comes out to you, how to talk to kids about gender and trans folks, and how dysphoria is different than just disliking your body.

The holidays are over, 2019 is here, and we are back in your ears! This week's episode is all about selfcare - a topic that may be of central importance after potentially spending time with folks through the holidays that may not be 100% supportive, on-board with your life, or in-line with your values. Selfcare means many things (listen to the episode to learn more about what we think about selfcare and trans folks in particular) - here are some additional resource that might be helpful.

On Today’s episode, we are thrilled to get an opportunity to talk with M Barclay.  They are the Co-Founder and Executive Director of Enfleshed (https://enfleshed.com/ [https://enfleshed.com/]) and the first openly nonbinary clergy of the United Methodist Church.  We talked about M’s journey to becoming clergy, how they understand God, where trans folks fit in religion, and making churches safe and welcoming for the LGBTQ community.  If you have ever thought about faith and how being trans fits with that, this is an interview you won’t want to miss.  This episode is also required listening for church members who want to be welcoming to trans folks. If you are looking for a church that embraces the LGBTQ community, check out church clarity.  They do the work of scoring churches on how welcoming they are. https://www.churchclarity.org/scores Please follow us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/pg/TransformPod [https://www.facebook.com/pg/TransformPod] and please subscribe or follow us on your favorite podcasting app. You can contact us at transformpod@gmail.com with questions or anything you would like to share with us - we do ask that you keep all correspondence respectful.
