Today we're talking about building a network of loving support around non-binary and transgender youth with LGBTQ advocate and mother, Jamie Bruesehoff, author of Raising Kids Beyond the Binary: Celebrating God’s Transgender and Gender-Diverse Children. Jamie shares her experience of raising her family in the Lutheran church in rural New Jersey and supporting her transgender daughter step into her full self. She describes the tension within Christianity - the repressive forces actively causing harm to gender expansive people and the loving kindness that her family has received from their congregation and Christians across the country. We talk about how being gender inclusive and breaking down gender stereotypes benefits all kids, how making space for LGBTQ+ youth to be their full selves creates space for us all to show up more fully, and how to advocate for your own gender diverse child. Jamie shares with Sarah and Robin about ring theory - a method for setting boundaries and protecting the safety and well-being of your child, regardless of what struggle they may be going through. Jamie demonstrates that you do not have to choose between your faith and your gender diverse child or loved one. Sarah closes the episode with a "F*****g Healing Shit" segment about the concept of "Unselfing" and ways to apply it when feeling helpless or hopeless.
Jamie Bruesehoff is an award-winning LGBTQ+ advocate, nationally known speaker, and mother of three, including a transgender child. Her family and work have been featured by media outlets and organizations around the world, including Disney, NPR, Good Morning America, USA Today, The Today Show, CBS News, Human Rights Campaign, The Trevor Project, and GLAAD. With a master's degree from The Lutheran Theological Seminary-Gettysburg and twenty years of experience working with youth and adults, she strives to create a world where LGBTQ+ young people thrive. She lives in New Jersey with her spouse and children. She is the author of Raising Kids Beyond the Binary: Celebrating God’s Transgender and Gender-Diverse Children.
