Empathy and Growth: Parenting a Transgender Teenager

In this episode, I had a heartfelt conversation with my friend Dan, who shared his personal journey as a parent of a transgender teenager. Dan opened up about the emotional moment when his teenager bravely came out as a boy named Alex. The episode delves into their family dynamics, interactions with the school, and the overwhelming support they received. Dan's vulnerability and honesty shed light on the importance of acceptance and understanding in parenting. Through Dan's story, we are reminded of the significance of listening to and supporting our children, no matter the challenges they face. Join us in this intimate and enlightening discussion on the DadStuff Podcast.

Hi, I’m Paul Vasquez, a dad and grandpa, and I created this show to reach out to other dads who have found themselves questioning if they are doing this “dad thing” right. I want to find out how they work through the challenges fatherhood throws at them to help other dads who face similar challenges. I want to find out what they learned from those moments to make myself a better dad.
