Axa Carnes is a retired teacher with a Masters of Education in Divergent Learning. She is the Leader of the SC Chapter for Parents of Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria Kids and the research assistant to Dr. Miriam Grossman for the writing of her book Lost in Trans Nation: A Child Psychiatrist Guide Out of Madness https://www.amazon.com/Lost-Trans-Nation-Psychiatrists-Madness/dp/1510777741 

Axa joins Hannah in today's podcast to discuss the trans movement from various different angles. What is gender dysphoria? What is the difference between gender, sex, and intersex? How has gender ideology taken root at every level of society? What should we do about pronouns? What about the parents? Are there any detransitioners? These questions and more are covered in this week's Hannah Miller Show. 

You have to be vetted by leadership to be part of these groups. Parents will have a phone call or a Zoom meeting with a chapter leader before being accepted into the group. 

https://hurtingmomsmendinghearts.org/ (Christian group). They have specific support groups for moms of trans identifying children. They have monthly zoom support meetings and also a great course that I took. 

The groups below are for everyone. Some offer support but also have a wealth of resources and information.

https://www.parentsofrogdkids.com/  State local support.  This organization has sub-groups for boys and parents of adults.

https://genderdysphoriasupportnetwork.com/ - Parent support groups via Zoom. They have meetings for new parents, parents of estranged or medicalized kids, etc.

https://ourduty.group/  Great resource for parents. They don't have support groups. It's more informational.

Other resources for parents

https://www.pittparents.com/ - A substack with hundreds of stories from parents who have a trans identified child or young adult. There are also a few stories from detransitioners. 

NOTE: Christian parents can join these groups and ask for the faith sub-groups. It's easy to get connected once you are a part of the larger support groups. 

www.focusonthefamily.com (resources about LGBTQ) 

https://childparentrights.org/ loaded with resources. They offer Support for church leaders. You can order a Church Transgender Response Guide. I (Axa) have read it and it’s excellent. (FYI) it comes from an orthodox biblical perspective.
