Parenting Queer with Kay & The Queer Parenting Partnership

<p>Welcome to Over the Rainbow, the podcast: a safe space and voice for all queer identities. </p> <p>Episode 29: Parenting queer with Kay (she/her/they/them) & The Queer Parenting Partnership</p> <p>Today Kay discusses parenting and perinatal support for LGBTQ+ families and other marginalised communities. </p> <p> </p> <p>There is a distinct lack of support and representation within perinatal healthcare services for LGBTQ+ families so we talk about these challenges and barriers. One of the biggest barriers is a distinct lack of education around LGBTQ+ identity, and what it means to be a family.</p> <p>Kay does a fantastic job of providing support for LGBTQ+ families and challenging the idea of there being certain gender roles within families.</p> <p> </p> <p>This episode is important for dealing with LGBTQ+ visibility and representation in healthcare, as well as dismantling the gender construct.</p> <p> </p> <p>More information about The Queer Parenting Partnership:</p> <ul><li>Website: <a href='https://www.parentingqueer.co.uk/'>https://www.parentingqueer.co.uk</a></li> <li>Facebook: <a href='https://www.facebook.com/parentingqueer/'>https://www.facebook.com/parentingqueer/</a></li> </ul> <p>Resources:</p> <ul><li>Brighton Trust perinatal care for trans and non-binary people: <ul><li><a href='https://www.bsuh.nhs.uk/maternity/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2021/01/MP005-Perinatal-Care-for-Trans-and-Non-Binary-People.pdf'>https://www.bsuh.nhs.uk/maternity/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2021/01/MP005-Perinatal-Care-for-Trans-and-Non-Binary-People.pdf</a></li> </ul> </li> <li>LGBTQ+ mummies tribe: <ul><li><a href='https://www.thelgbtmummiestribe.com/'>https://www.thelgbtmummiestribe.com</a></li> <li><a href='https://www.instagram.com/the_lgbt_mummies_tribe/?hl=en'>https://www.instagram.com/the_lgbt_mummies_tribe/?hl=en</a></li> </ul> </li> <li>Nanny Kimbo: <ul><li><a href='http://www.nannykimbo.co.uk/'>http://www.nannykimbo.co.uk</a></li> <li><a href='https://www.instagram.com/nannykimbo/'>https://www.i
