Overcoming Your Reactive Mind through Mind-Body Connection!
Saison 1 · Épisode 17
lundi 16 décembre 2024 • Durée 01:12:18
Welcome to Episode 17 of Queer Storytime! In this deeply moving and enlightening episode, we sit down with the incredible Jemarc Axinto (They/Them) a trauma-informed recovery coach, award-winning consultant, and devoted advocate for queer and trans healing. Together, we explore the profound journeys of self-discovery, resilience, and the power of community in the gender and sexually expansive world. Here’s what you can expect:
Highlights from the Episode:
1. Jemarc’s Journey to Self-Discovery
Jemarc reflects on what they would tell their younger self about identity: “You’re gay. It’s okay. You don’t have to be perfect. You’re allowed to make mistakes and have difficult emotions.”
Their touching realization of how societal and personal pressures shaped their journey and the lessons they’ve embraced about self-compassion and non-attachment.
2. Queer Gatekeeping and Harm Within the Community
Jemarc addresses a critical issue: the harm caused by queer gatekeeping. They share a vulnerable experience of being turned away by their own community, emphasizing the need for inclusivity and healing from internalized heteronormativity.
3. Healing Through a Decolonial Lens
To Filipino queer and trans youth, Jemarc offers powerful advice rooted in decolonization: “Queerness is innate. Shame tied to colonization is not your responsibility to bear.” They beautifully highlight indigenous traditions that celebrated gender and sexual diversity.
4. What Lawmakers Need to Hear
In a heartfelt call to global lawmakers targeting the queer and trans community, Jemarc says: “Go to therapy. Heal your trauma. Address why you feel unsafe in yourself and your position. The harm you cause others reflects your unhealed wounds.”
5. Advice for Queer and Trans Youth
Jemarc reminds queer and trans youth, as well as adults, that self-identity is a journey: “It’s okay to change your mind. Gender and sexuality are fluid. Be gentle with yourself.”

Transgender Children, Oh My! Tools for Parents Traversing Gender Expansivity
Saison 1 · Épisode 13
lundi 22 juillet 2024 • Durée 01:04:52
In this episode of Queer Story Time, host Stevie interviews Ben Greene (he/him), an international public speaker, transgender man, and author of the book "My Child is Trans, Now What?". As a passionate advocate for transgender youth, Ben strives to meet everyone with compassion, regardless of their starting point. Join us as Ben shares insights on the importance of unconditional parental support, the impact of societal expectations, and his ongoing advocacy work.
Key Points:
Parental Support: Ben emphasizes that children exploring their gender identity need unconditional love and support from their parents. Delaying support can lead to feelings of isolation and a desire to leave home as soon as possible.
Exploration: Allowing children to explore their gender identity without judgment is crucial. Exploration is a natural part of childhood and should not be restricted by rigid gender norms.
Gender Expectations: Parents often impose their own gender expectations on their children. Letting go of these expectations benefits all children, helping them develop into emotionally intelligent and confident adults.
Misconceptions: Ben discusses his own fears and misconceptions about hormone therapy, noting that societal narratives often distort the realities of transitioning.
Identity: It's important to recognize that trans individuals have multifaceted identities beyond their gender. Trans people lead diverse and fulfilling lives.
Advocacy: Ben addresses lawmakers, highlighting that anti-trans laws are unpopular and fail to address pressing societal issues. He urges them to consider the broader impact of their actions.
Support Networks: Queer and trans youth should find supportive networks and allies to help them navigate challenges and advocate on their behalf.
Storytelling: Sharing personal stories is a profound way to foster connection and understanding. Holding space for each other’s truths is essential.
Ben is working on a fantasy novel that explores the magic inherent in the trans experience, aiming to put more positive and diverse narratives into the world.
