In this post 2024 election episode of the Parent Advocate, Lizette and Stephen are joined by Boston clinical therapist Rachel Hulstein-Lowe, and unpack the election results, what it means for the mental health of trans and gender expansive children, and the importance of hope and finding joy in difficult circumstances. In today's topics we talk about MAGA Republican and AG prospect threatening NY AG Letitia James, white supremacists telegraphing harm to women during the next Trump presidency, a spike in crisis calls after the election, and the election of multiple LGBTQ+ officials across the country. In Allies & Assholes, we celebrate Massachusetts Governor, Maura Healey for refusing to assist president elect Trump's planned mass deportation in her state. We drag Democrat Seth Moulton for suggesting that the Democratic support of trans people caused this year's election losses.
