Wow. I love this. S and S—-Keep the role-play going…. Can you play this forward for us? For example, Az says the parent should say, ‘help me understand I just don’t get it. I’m not smart enough.’
The child says I’m true trans, it’s my soul, only I can understand this because I’m really transgender.
The parent says again yes but what does that feeling? Describe it for me?
So at this point in the conversation, it’s a good attempt but you’re just going to go in circles. The child is just going say it’s a feeling I can’t describe it. You’re gonna say keep describing it, what does that mean? And the child wants to shut down.
So —What’s next? Where do you direct the conversation from that circular dead end? What’s one good directional shift or thought provoking statement or question?
Ugh. This is like catching the wave in our fingers as it comes ashore.
I loved this conversation and everything Az has to say.
I have tried to get my trans identified daughter to show her working. My attempts at curiosity are immediately met with “you’re making me feel unsafe”. How should I respond to that? I have tried responding with curiosity but that statement effectively shuts down the conversation.
Lol this is bonkers. This "doctor" literally compares gender to..... Days of the week?? Saying that "feeling Thursday" is the same as having a gender identity? Y'all. This podcast is bogus. I've listened to several episodes, but this made me laugh out loud at the ridiculousness. Don't listen to these people and their misinformed opinions.
