Home for the Holidays focuses on showing up joyfully for transgender and LGBTQ+ family members (and selves!) at family holiday gatherings that might have a wide range of support. Whether it’s helping grandma remember the right pronouns, figuring out what to say about Uncle Joe’s openly transphobic comments, or finding a way to make the gathering bearable for a closeted youth, I’ll share a variety of helpful tools. We’ll discuss what it means to center joy, how to set boundaries that feel good, and how to come back to a place of calm after challenging moments.
About the Presenter:
Ben Greene is a transgender advocate and educator who has spoken internationally on topics surrounding transgender inclusion. After coming out at 15 in a small town, Ben has devoted his career to spreading empathy, education, and storytelling around the trans experience. Whether it’s for NASA, Johnson & Johnson, or over 150 PFLAG chapters, Ben leads with joy. He is the author of the substack “Good Queer News”, as well as the book “My Child is Trans, Now What? A Joy Centered Approach to Support”. He has been nominated for a GLAAD media award, and is a fierce advocate for transgender youth and their families, regularly speaking in their defense at the Missouri State Capitol.
