So Gloriously Unready is all about change: how to make the most of life and the surprises it deals to us. In Series 1 Josephine shared her story of becoming a mum to two transgender daughters. In Series 2 she's finding out more about transgender people's experiences because as she adapted to having transgender daughters it helped her to get to know transgender people.

    Parenting Transgender Kids - The Bigger Picture

    Sometimes as a parent or ally of a transgender person you can end up doing more harm than good when it comes to speaking out because you are running the risk of outing that person. And that’s why the guest in this episode is keeping their identity private, to protect the privacy and safety of her transgender child.  But that doesn’t stop the conversation covering topics from the importance of grassroots activism and personal connections, what it means to be an ally, the struggles parents face when it comes to medical options for their children and having to adjust your dreams for your children’s future.  Josephine and her guest also discuss how their own societal prejudices were an issue when their children first came out, but through reaching out to the community and learning they are overcoming this.

    Autistic and Transgender - Anna’s story

    There’s a lot of discussion around neurodiversity and being LGBTQ. Many people who are gender non-conforming also have a neurodivergence such as autism and ADHD. So in this episode Josephine is talking to Anna Hayward, a counsellor specialising in supporting neurodivergent gay and gender non-conforming people. Anna herself is a gay woman and autistic. She also has gender non conforming children. The pair look at how neurodivergent individuals may have a different understanding and experience of gender compared to neurotypical people. They also explore how best to support the neurodivergent LGBTQ people in your life  Please note: We had a few technical problems with this episode, and Anna's audio isn't as good as it would normally be, so if you're listening in the car or somewhere noisy, you might miss parts. Your best bet is to listen to this episode when you've got a quiet time and place to do so. There is, of course, a transcription that you can follow along with too if that helps Please Note: Everybody mentioned in this podcast series has agreed for their story to be told.

  7. BANDE-ANNONCE SAISON 3

    Series 3 Is Coming!

    Gloriously Unready is back for another series. And in series 3 Josephine is giving people a voice to express their love for their transgender children and transgender partners. During the recording of this series, transgender issues have never been far away from the news.  Sadly, identity politics are being used as a political football with no real consideration of the impact on transgender people and their families. Yet the podcast cannot exist in isolation from the political situation and all the guests describe how they are affected. What we hope from this podcast series is to share that transgender people and their families are just human, just like the rest of us, and worthy of love and support.
