As a parent, navigating the complex landscape of gender issues with your children—whether they're on the autism spectrum or not—can feel like traversing a minefield. It's a topic that's as sensitive as it is critical, demanding a nuanced and informed approach. That's why this interview with Pamela Garfield-Jaeger, LCSW, MS, is one you shouldn't miss. Pamela brings over two decades of experience in social work to the table, along with insights from her new book, "A Practical Response to Gender Distress - Tips and Tools for Families". Our conversation will delve into topics that are both eye-opening and vital for every parent to understand. We'll explore the troubling concept of emotional blackmail, learn how to recognize the signs of a gender critical therapist, and discuss whether gender dysphoria can be seen as a social contagion. Additionally, Pamela will share her expertise on identifying if your child may be influenced by social activists and offer advice on screening therapists to ensure they equip your child with resilience rather than a victim mentality. Pamela's journey has been both professional and personal. After leaving her profession in 2017 due to a severe disability, she returned in 2021 to find the mental health field significantly transformed, especially concerning the treatment of gender dysphoric patients. Her experience in a teen clinic in San Mateo County, California, where 3 out of 10 kids identified as trans—all girls—was startling compared to her extensive background with vulnerable youth. This contrast propelled her to speak out and offer guidance through 1:1 consultations for parents and her book. "A Practical Response to Gender Distress" is designed to support families grappling with gender issues. It provides an alternative perspective to "gender affirmative care" and includes powerful artwork by detransitioners, a 'trans/english' dictionary, and a comprehensive resource list. The book is available for purchase on Amazon here. To further support and educate parents, Pamela is active on several platforms. You can follow her on Instagram at @the.truthfultherapist, on Twitter @truththerapist, subscribe to her insights on Substack, watch her content on YouTube, and visit her website at www.thetruthfultherapist.org. This interview promises to be enlightening, offering parents the knowledge and tools needed to navigate gender issues thoughtfully and effectively. Whether you're looking for guidance on starting conversations about gender with your adolescent, seeking to empower yourself to question professionals, or simply wishing to gain a deeper understanding of the subject, join us for this crucial discussion.

It's always a pleasure. I think this is your third time. We had you on before to talk about each of your books. You're always a great guest, great information. 00;03;23;03 - 00;03;38;02 Unknown And today's show is something that has it's been weighing on my heart as I have a teenager, you know, his friends, the talk and things that we see in the news. So we I definitely appreciate you being here. 00;03;38;10 - 00;03;52;23 Unknown Anything new in the works or anything you want to tell us about before we get started? Yeah, not really. I mean, I've been continuing my blogging, my Healing without Hurting Page. I try to write articles, updates, things that are going on, but that's pretty much it. 00;03;52;23 - 00;04;12;28 Unknown I always talk about wanting to do another book, but maybe when things kind of calm down and my therapy practice has been really, really crazy. And I guess that's why you had me on today because of the amount of teenagers, actually, that I'm starting to see in my psychotherapy practice and sadder and sadder cases of kids that 00;04;12;28 - 00;04;34;00 Unknown are literally, you know, very, very depressed and very anxious. And there's it's it's exploding. And actually, yeah, and that's one of the reasons why we want to talk to the last year and a half has been hard on everybody, but we have a tendency to sometimes forget about how this stuff impacts our kids. 00;04;34;00 - 00;04;57;14 Unknown They hear us worried their lockdown, their school disruption changes. one of the things that I've pointed out recently is there are kids that, you know, they went to school in eighth grade. They went on spring break. Now they they didn't come back to school until they're in high school and in many of them started the school year 00;04;57;14 - 00;05;15;27 Unknown , their first year of high school. Virtually, you had seniors who missed out on all the great milestones that we all look forward to, the reason you worked so hard to get that, you know, high school diploma, your senior year prom, homecoming graduation, all that they really missed out on a lot of stuff. 00;05;15;27 - 00;05;37;04 Unknown So it's resulted in greater depression, anxiety, panic, all you know, all kinds of adverse effects have been noted to teens and even small children who typically didn't have to struggle with all of these things before. So there's definitely been an increase in how has that affected? 00;05;37;04 - 00;05;48;21 Unknown What have you seen as a result of this last year and a half? Well, you know, I see it first with my own kids because my kids, 13 and 15, my son just started high school. They lost, they lost. 00;05;48;21 - 00;06;07;26 Unknown He lost the whole year and a half of his junior high middle school experience. He is my son who is on the spectrum, and he had even a harder time because he, you know, basically we had to hire a tutor to help him with academically because he didn't have a paraprofessionals and other support team around him. 00;06;07;26 - 00;06;28;23 Unknown And he also, you know, he just, you know, socially, he's a social kid and for a year and a half. So I was watching this on my own, in my own life. My daughter, you know, is typically very happy go lucky child and about in lots of activities, loves to go to clubs and activities. 00;06;28;23 - 00;06;39;16 Unknown And she couldn't do that for a whole year and a half, so we had to almost artificially create social environments for her. Luckily, I had a couple other families that were sort of in the same boat I was. 00;06;40;08 - 00;06;50;27 Unknown There was so much hybrid going on and kids getting pulled out and pushed in. We just decided to keep our kids home. We didn't want the in masks for the entire time. I heard they were acting like robots in school, basically. 00;06;51;02 - 00;07;02;07 Unknown They weren't even allowed to sit with their friends. They weren't a lot of high five each other in the hallway. I mean, these are the reasons we go to school. So, you know, we started to see, you know, even in my own family, we start to see what was going on. 00;07;02;07 - 00;07;15;17 Unknown And then I started getting more and more children, adolescents and younger kids coming into my practice for the same reasons because even if they were going to school, it was more like jail than it was school for a good year and a half. 00;07;15;17 - 00;07;29;01 Unknown I mean, it's a little better now, but even outdoor sports with masks on in some states, I mean, my state's, you know, completely all about the masks, but yet we can go to a restaurant, we can sit down and with 100 people in the restaurant, that's OK. 00;07;29;15 - 00;07;41;19 Unknown So apparently as soon as we sit down in a restaurant, I think it's the height, right? It's the height. And that's it. You know, you're right. I was not the best student, but I still looked forward to going to school when I was a kid. 00;07;41;19 - 00;07;56;11 Unknown And, you know, after summer vacation or spring break? Well, maybe not so much spring break with summer vacation, I was ready to go back to school when it started back up. There's such a big social aspect of it, and I know a lot of these traditions are American traditions. 00;07;56;11 - 00;08;13;02 Unknown But you know, these kids have grown up looking forward to prom and all all these different things. And I can just imagine the poor seniors that worked for all that time and then weren't able to walk. You know, we did some things here in our community locally. 00;08;13;11 - 00;08;30;02 Unknown We drove around, families with kids that were graduating put out signs and we drove around, honked and waved and all that. But that's hardly the same. How has it, as far as your practice goes, affected kids? I know you can't divulge any any, you know, confidential information or anything like that. 00;08;30;02 - 00;08;45;14 Unknown But what kind of things are you hearing from kids that maybe you, you notice is more prevalent or different than things that you heard prior to COVID, or maybe even in the beginning of COVID before the lockdowns kind of took their toll? 00;08;46;12 - 00;09;03;00 Unknown Well, you know, I know a lot before COVID, you know, a lot of kids were very addicted to video games and their online gaming and everything like that, but that just exploded over COVID. I mean, it really was their only social outlet, and it really created a bunch of, y
