YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOriginal Episode Here
A prospective father from Brazil calls into TACIS with a question that hits differently than most — he's not hostile, he's scared. Joao hasn't had kids yet, but he's already losing sleep over what it would mean to raise a trans child in a country that's deeply hostile to trans existence. Hosts Josie and Jack both open up personally: Jack about tiptoeing around the house as a five-year-old knowing he couldn't let his dad see, and Josie about being physically harmed at age four for walking "like a girl" — trauma that kept her closeted for 34 years. Together they walk Joao through the developmental timeline of gender identity, the role of persistence as the clinical signal, when to bring in a gender therapist, how to navigate a hostile outside world, and why finding local trans community in Brazil matters more than anything either of them can offer from the U.S. It's a rare call-in moment: a man who hasn't even had kids yet, doing the emotional homework early because he wants to get it right.
