How to Be a Girl — Kids & Family
How to Be a Girl

How to Be a Girl is an audio podcast I produce about life with my six-year-old transgender daughter. It stars the two of us — a single mom and a six-year-old “girl with a penis” — as we attempt together to sort out just what it means to be a girl.

HTBAG #32: The Medical Stuff Marlo Mack
For years, people have asked me what I would do when my daughter hit puberty. Was I going to let her do... “the medical stuff?"
Well, right after the pandemic struck, so did puberty. And this is what my daughter (and her mother) decided to do.

Episode XXXI: M is for Middle School, Take Two Nov 02, 2020
Show notes
HTBAG #31: M is for Middle School, Take Two Marlo Mack Download
This episode is different from any of our previous episodes. It’s also a do-over, because the first version of this episode overlooked the fact that my daughter is growing up, fast. She’s almost a teenager, and we both agree that it’s time she took charge. So that’s what she did. (Here’s a little more about how this episode came to be.)
