Ever wondered how to handle transphobic comments in a constructive way? Chris Studer, Executive Director of Get Real, joins 'Tiny Conversations' to share his experiences and strategies. This episode dives into the challenges and triumphs of engaging in difficult conversations about discrimination. Chris recounts a memorable fundraising event that coincided with Caitlyn Jenner's public announcement as transgender, which sparked a mix of supportive and hurtful responses on social media.
Instead of shying away, Chris and his team at Get Real decided to confront these issues directly, using them as teaching moments. They believe that engaging rather than disengaging can lead to meaningful change. Chris's insights are not just about addressing transphobia but also about fostering a more inclusive environment for everyone.
Whether you're part of the LGBTQ community or an ally looking to make a difference, this episode offers valuable perspectives on how to stand up against discrimination and promote understanding.
