Hello, everyone,

Check out the latest video from the Bigger Picture Conference.

Sasha Ayad shares her experience helping young people who are questioning their gender. She talks about how to communicate with them and why it's important to approach gender identity carefully. Sasha also explains why she believes in using therapy instead of medical treatments and answers questions from parents and professionals.

Sasha Ayad is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 15 years of experience, specializing in helping adolescents navigate gender identity issues. She advocates for non-invasive therapy over medical transitions and co-hosts the "Gender: A Wider Lens Podcast." Ayad is also a founding member of the Society for Evidence-based Gender Medicine and co-authored "When Kids Say They’re Trans," offering a psychological approach to gender dysphoria for parents.
