In this episode of A More Perfect Podcast, I sit down with my longtime friend and creator, Princess Pashley, for a deeply personal and powerful conversation about parenting a transgender child in today’s America.

We talk about what it was like when her daughter first came out, the challenges and fears they faced as a family, and the critical role of supportive schools, affirming doctors, and community. Pashley shares how medical care like HRT actually works, what the process looks like for minors, and why so many misconceptions are harmful and dangerous.

We also dive into the bigger picture: how rhetoric from politicians and media impacts real families, the mental health stakes for transgender youth, and what it means to hold compassion and accountability in a society divided by misinformation and fear.
