The Resilience S01E03 - Dawn and Ray

Transgenderism quickens an incredible sadness within Dawn and Ray; two parents from Nova Scotia. These loving parents believed they were being supportive as they began their family's gender journey. They openly affirmed their trans daughter by recommendation from therapists but soon felt uneasy as they observed the emotional unravelling caused by the "affirmation model".

Dawn and Ray express feelings of helplessness and isolation as they watch queerness erase the daughter they lovingly raised for 17 years and a new child emerges that they don't recognize. The conversation we share is a raw and candid story of familial distress that many will relate to. For those who are just learning about the negative impacts of Transgenderism, this conversation can serve as an early warning signal that this can happen to anyone.
