Y’all. Y’ALLLLLL. I HAVE WANTED TO THIS PODCAST FOR A  WHILE NOW!!!!! Thanks to my amazing pal I got hooked up with Dane Menkin, he answers all of my (and probably your) questions about the  whole transgender process as it refers to kids. There are so many  misconceptions about the whole process. We, well he, clears it up. I  love this talk so much. It was so much fun and I thought I knew a lot  and I learned stuff too. Everyone needs to listen to this. With  education we can save these children from depression and death by  suicide or thoughts of suicide. It will be up tomorrow!!!! I’m so  excited you can totally hear me freaking out on the podcast, haha.

Dane is the divisional director of LGBTQ services at Main Line Health where he provides LGBTQ specific clinical care with a focus on gender-affirming-care for children, adolescents and adults.
