What do you say when your child tells you they are transgender? What do you do about it? Need you do anything? When exactly do children learn what and who they are, and how are gender norms so ingrained by such a young age?

This week we talk about a podcast that gave us all the feels. Marlo Mack's How To Be A Girl is a personal journals style pod by a mother of a young transgender child, chronicling their journey of understanding, acceptance, protection and questioning.
