**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 #24: New School Marlo Mack

My daughter starts fifth grade at a new school next month. It's a fresh start, where no one knows that she's transgender. How do I handle this? How do I advise her? Should she keep her transgender status to herself or be more open? At the end of this episode, I'll be asking for your advice: *What should I do?*
