"Stephanie,

I can’t thank you enough for providing this course. I have much trouble saying the right things and your course has really helped me to more effectively and compassionately communicate with our trans identified son. This was especially important since he ran away last summer and we were fortunate enough to be able to go through the court system to bring him home by making a case for other mental health reasons. The courts here are trans affirming, so it was a double edged sword, but we managed to get him home and away from from his glitter families, and without starting any medicalization. Since being home, I’ve had to not only changed many old habits of thinking, but also learn a new skill (for me) of saying the right things without pushing him to leave again, or further into the trans identity, which I’m sure am not alone in that respect! Your course was helped me tremendously in both regards. Plus, I personally enjoyed the crash course in psychology! You explain psychological concepts in lay terms that really help with establishing a core understanding of what’s going on in the minds of these poor youth. So, from the bottom of my heart, Thank You for this course, and all the hard work and dedication you and all others in your profession are doing to save these youth."

"The ROGD Repair Course + Community have been immeasurably helpful for my husband and I! We actually look forward to listening and reflecting on the materials. Stephanie’s wisdom and experience has been priceless in keeping us sane as we live each day processing this situation. We are so glad we found her soon after our son’s coming out to us. I am confident that this course has kept us from saying and doing things we would have regretted."

-Christy C., Santa Cruz, CA

"This course is brimming with eye-opening information from a perspective that is just not being covered elsewhere. It is richly insightful and practical at the same time and is an incredibly valuable resource for learning how to strengthen your relationship with your child and approach the subject of gender in a way that has the best chance of getting through to them.

If we had had this information 5 years ago I believe we may have been able to not only prevent our son going deeper into the ideology and getting on hormones but even more fundamentally, help him out of the unhealthy psychological patterns that got us into this in the first place. Only a month into learning these concepts, they have already helped us to have conversations we should have had long ago."

-Courtney S. Boston, MA

"I wish this course had been available three years ago when our family first encountered the sudden announcement of an ROGD son. My initial reaction was to read many many books, listen to podcasts, and watch detransitioner videos, however, these resources don’t provide the important underlying psychological concepts of what is driving the behaviour and thinking of many of these kids. In my desperation, I made several of the mistakes that Stephanie wisely advises against, simply because there were so few resources available to understand the psychological complexities our son was experiencing (and continues to experience) and how best to approach the difficult situations we encountered as parents.

This course is an invaluable resource for any parent struggling to navigate the complex and often overwhelming landscape of gender ideology. Many of us never anticipated facing this challenge, and it was the last thing we were prepared for. Given the current state of ideological influence in our medical, educational, and political institutions, I would strongly recommend that ALL parents take this course as a form of preparedness—before the gender ideology beast comes knocking at your door."

-MS in Canada

"Our adult daughter lives at home, secretly taking testosterone and trans has been the subject we dare not speak about. The ROGD Repair Course + Community are exactly what we need right now. The course is filled with deep thought provoking questions to help you look at the particulars of your own family dynamics and develop strategies to help guide your child out of the madness. The lessons are filled with information to help you to think calmly and understand and respond to your child in ways you probably haven’t been able to before – right down to the words to say. The Community allows you to learn from and chat with other parents in similar situations – to experience the strange comfort of knowing you’re not alone. We have great hope and this course is making it actionable."

-Mary C. – Rockford, IL

"I was able to use your words of wisdom in instances where there would have been a big fight, and turn those situations into calm, successful interactions. Specifically, your point about how some of these teens (my daughter included) will respond better to a very literal explanation of why their behavior was not helpful and how they could have better handled a situation not only enabled me to avoid what would have been an argument, but enabled my daughter to see that she needed to do something different. It had to do with letting me know when she was going to be late for dinner but still needed something to eat. I laid out the issue and the behavior that would be helpful in a neutral fashion by text, and she responded accordingly. Thank you for that!"
