Dealing with families of origin can be challenging for everyone. The difficulty level can be even higher for people who live outside of their family's expectations around s*xuality, relationships, and/or gender.

That's why The Pincus Center is hosting "Freaky Holidays: Managing Family for S*x/Gender Nonconformists" online on Thursday, December 4 at 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT. Dr. Elisabeth "Eli" Sheff will give tips for navigating holiday visits with family members who might not understand s*x and gender diversity.
