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.

How can the best of times also be the worst of times? This spring nearly washed me away... but not quite.

A little update, with cat videos Marlo Mack
This tiny episode is mostly silly, and a little bit serious. I also have some news. Plus, cat videos.

Show notes
HTBAG#17: The Window Marlo Mack
In 2013, Obama opened a window for transgender people when he made it easier to change the gender on your Social Security record. But with Trump coming into office, it looks like that window is about to close. I hadn't been in much of a rush to change my 9-year-old transgender daughter's Social Security record, but I sure am now.

Raindrops on Roses Marlo Mack
My 8-year-old transgender daughter is not giving up. She's eating popcorn and singing and telling jokes and she has some advice for you.

Episode XIV: My Friend Lauren Nov 09, 2016
Show notes
HTBAG#14: My Friend Lauren Marlo Mack
When I first realized I had a transgender child, Lauren reached out and told me it was going to be OK. Ever since, she's been the one I lean on when I'm terrified. She's the bravest woman I know.

My friend, "Lauren," in 1979.

Episode XIII: Play Date Oct 19, 2016
Show notes
HTBAG#13: Play Date Marlo Mack
My daughter has lots of friends, and she's big on play dates with other little girls. But sometimes we need to book a special play date, because sometimes you just need to hang out with somebody who's just like you.

Episode XII: How to Be a Dad Sep 28, 2016
Show notes
HTBAG#12: How to Be a Dad Marlo Mack
When my husband and I split up four years ago, we agreed to share custody of our...."son." Four years later, we have a transgender daughter, and the crazy truth is that I've never really asked him how he feels about this. So I did. And this is what he said. (I asked him a few other questions, too.)
