  • Summary

  • On this episode Caroline, Jason, and Mar meet our new friend Ben Greene as they talk about the impact of social media on mental health, trans youth, and Ben’s new book “my child is trans, now what” out May 7th BEN GREENE is a trans man, transgender advocate, and educator who has spoken internationally on topics surrounding transgender inclusion. After coming out at 15 in small-town Connecticut and giving a popular TEDx talk at Brandeis University, Ben has devoted his career to spreading empathy, education, and storytelling around the trans experience. He has spoken for companies, hospitals, schools, religious organizations, and government entities sharing what it means to be transgender and how to show up as an ally. He is a fierce advocate for transgender youth, regularly speaking in their defense at the Missouri State Capitol, and when he is not speaking during working hours, he is delivering free presentations to parent support groups around the country and spending hours one-on-one with families of newly out transgender loved ones. He is passionate about educating others from a place of compassion—no matter where they’re starting from, and lives by the catchphrase “the only question I won’t answer is the question you don’t ask”. ** “Make it real to me” written by Athena Promachus, covered by Boy Bowser The Trans Narrative was created, and produced by Caroline Penny, powered by Spotify for podcasters If you’d like to reach out, or be apart of the show contact us at “transnarrativepodcast@gmail.com” Support and donations can be made to cash app tag $gottabesomthinmore Find us Facebook, TikTok, and on Apple, Spotify, and iHeartRadio, or anywhere you listen to podcasts Thank you for your support Suicide Hotline 1-800-SUICIDE (784-2433) S.A.F.E.
