How can Catholics accompany transgender people? What should parents do if their child identifies as trans?In this episode, renowned Catholic speaker and author of the book "Male, Female, Other?" Jason Evert explores common questions related to gender theory. Drawing on conversations with countless young people who identify as trans and parents of trans teens, as well as his own extensive research, Evert offers help and advice for Catholics to help transgender people find their home in the Church.
