Sasha Ayad⁠ is Licensed Professional Counselor who has treated adolescents for over 13 years. She began feeling concerned about the trans trend reaching teens, and after learning about Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria (ROGD) so began looking into the “trans kid”phenomenon more deeply. Sasha became a founding board member of several organizations fighting for a more cautious, science-based approach, including ⁠Society for Evidence-based Gender Medicine⁠, ⁠The Gender Exploratory Therapy Association,⁠ and ⁠Genspect.⁠ She is co-host of Gender: A Wider Lens ⁠ Podcast⁠ and co-author, alongside Lisa Marchiano and Stella O’Malley, of a new book called, ⁠When Kids Say They’re Trans⁠.

In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with her about what’s really behind teenagers' desire to transition and what parents can do when dealing with a teen identifying as trans.
