Today the @transrightsreadathon begins!!! Please participate, read books by trans+ authors, and donate to @pointofprideorg and @translawcenter and @transjusticefp and local community groups like @tigerrsmpls! You have the rest of March so get reading!

And if you’re looking for some nonfiction books! I’ve got you covered on a few subjects 😊 And yes, this is shameless self-promotion because, honestly, for most of us trans authors, that’s the only promotion we’re going to get!

Anyway, the world keeps being a transphobic dumpster fire and I still have to pay my bills, so please buy my books, or borrow them from your local library, or recommend them to your colleagues, families, and friends! Thank you!

Hello! There are quite a new followers so I thought I’d take a moment to re-introduce myself on this a-tad-too-warm Friday evening!

I am a trans masculine, nonbinary, bisexual, queer, polyam, disabled and neurodivergent award-winning author, scholar, speaker, educator, clinical supervisor, sex therapist, gender specialist, somatic experiencing practitioner, and family therapist. I’m currently in my early 50s and I was a University-based scholar for 20 years but, over the past nine years, I have been pursuing my work outside of academia. I also love consulting with both individuals and organizations.

As part of my commitment to engage with you more, you can expect me to talk about the following topics in the next few months:
ㅤ
- Relationships
- Spirituality
- Parenting
- Gender
- Sexuality
- Disability
- Self care and community care
- Mental Health
- Trauma
ㅤ
I have an email newsletter you can sign up for in my bio & I always welcome constructive feedback! Thank you for following me & don’t hesitate to comment & let me know why you follow me or what content you’d like to see more of on my page!

CONTINUED IN COMMENTS (because I wrote too much 🙃)

I’m sitting on concrete steps wearing sparkling, trans flag colored @converse shoes, a casual, blue linen suit with a t-shirt by @eliconleymusic that says I love trans folks with all my being.]

Knowing how to be with ourselves and one another is the foundation and I believe we need solid foundations now more than ever.

I’ve been trying to find the words but all I can find is grief and rage and more grief. Too many lives lost, over and over. When will the hate stop?

I love my smart, loving, caring daughter @m00lissa so much! She’s the moon indeed! And I’ll never tire to sing to her or hold her when she needs, or just wants me to.

I feel so grateful to be her parent, to have dreamed of her, to have brought her into the world, to have carried her, and to have her in my life, everyday.

Another short extract from last week’s episode of Warm Take Wednesdays with Dr Alex. This one was on how “sanism is everywhere”, and why it often harms those of us who are already marginalized. I also talked about Mad Pride as well as the anti-psychiatry movement, a topic close to my heart since childhood.

Full episode is available on my YouTube channel (link in bio), or wherever you listen to podcasts! If you watch / listen to it, please let me know what you think!

Next week’s topic: our mental health is getting worse (and it’s not our fault)!

Want to suggest a topic? Contact me via my website or DM me! Thank you!

Finally, if you are listening to this podcast, Warm Take Wednesdays, and enjoying it, please consider posting a review on whichever platform you listen to podcasts on. Thank you!

This is what happens when you have a Gen Z kid who is your social media manager 😊 Thank you to @m00lissa for making this sweet reel of Caramello, the puppy we rescued last Fall when he was 4 months old, and I. I couldn’t have asked for a sweeter puppy! 💜

I recorded another live episode of Warm Take Wednesdays with Dr Alex today. Since May is Mental Health Awareness month, I’m focusing this month’s episodes on this subject.

Today I talked about sanism, the anti-psychiatry movement, Mad Pride, and why it’s important to challenge ideas of “normality” within mental health (as well as everywhere of course).

If you’d like to give the episode a listen, it’s available on my YouTube channel right now (link in bio as usual) and it will be available wherever you listen to podcasts soon. Thanks!

Are there any topics you’d like me to tackle next? I’m open to feedback & suggestions!
