STTA Live! Affirming and Celebrating Ourselves

This is an episode you will NOT want to miss!

Affirming and celebrating ourselves—especially when we are still learning, growing, and discovering who we are—can be tough. As we discover more about how we relate to the world around us it is easy to shy away from change, and forget to prioritize our needs. It is in those moments that the way we feel about ourselves, and the unconditional love of our parents, family members, friends, and allies can quite literally save our lives.

We are beyond excited to welcome our special guest, Jeffrey Marsh, author of Take Your Own Advice, which releases tomorrow. 

Join us this Thursday, May 18 for Something to Talk About Live!

Today is the LAST DAYto submit your comment to support trans youth athletes!

20 states have anti-trans sports bans, with more states trying to pile on with trans discrimination. Now, it’s time to take action in support of trans student athletes. 

The Department of Education is taking comments only through end of day today on its proposed rule on Title IX Athletics, which prohibits categorical exclusion of trans athletes by schools and sets criteria to which they must adhere to receive federal funds. Read our fact sheet to learn more about the proposed rule.

Submit your comment before midnight ET tonight! Together we can ensure that non-discrimination protections based on sex are fully inclusive of our transgender, nonbinary and intersex loved ones and neighbors!

Take Your Own Advice: A Very PFLAG Book from our good friend Jeffrey Marsh

When we talk about leading with love in all things, there is no one doing this work more instinctively--or with more kindness and generosity--than our friend Jeffrey Marsh (they/them).

Jeffrey creates authentic content that carries their mission of positivity, inclusion, respect, and self-healing to all, and is among the world's foremost commentators on nonbinary identity and activism in America. Jeffrey aims to bring greater understanding, encouragement and hope to those who may be struggling with their own identity, or know someone who is--in a decidedly PFLAG way.

Jeffrey's newest book, Take Your Own Advice, releases tomorrow, Tuesday, May 16th; we're excited to have it on our #ReadWithLove bookshelves on both Bookshop.org and Amazon. (And don't forget to tune in to see them on STTA Live! this Thursday!)
