Sasha Ayad: When kids say they're trans

I spoke with co-author of "When Kids Say They're Trans," Sasha Ayad, about teens who identify as transgender and how parents can respond

Sasha Ayad⁠ is Licensed Professional Counselor who has treated adolescents for over 13 years. She began feeling concerned about the trans trend reaching teens, and after learning about Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria (ROGD) so began looking into the “trans kid”phenomenon more deeply. Sasha became a founding board member of several organizations fighting for a more cautious, science-based approach, including ⁠Society for Evidence-based Gender Medicine⁠⁠The Gender Exploratory Therapy Association,⁠ and ⁠Genspect.⁠ She is co-host of

⁠Podcast⁠ and co-author, alongside Lisa Marchiano and Stella O’Malley, of a new book called, When Kids Say They’re Trans

In this episode, I speak with Sasha about what’s really behind teenagers' desire to transition and what parents can do when dealing with a teen identifying as trans.
