This week we are honored to have our newest Thrive LGBTQ+ Board Members, Stephanie Preston Hughes, LHMC, on the ThriveCast. We will be discussing an article by Dr. Ryan T. Anderson that ex-gay/conservative activists are using to stigmatize trans people. We talk about the study in question, the full context, and why biased analysis like this should really be put in its proper context. We also have some encouragement for our Trans viewers who may have been discouraged in their journey because of these types of articles.
