[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have such a bad feeling about the "having a gay child" Me Course.  I have compassion for what Jen went through but to monetize it now, to profit from having a gay child? I think it said the course was 40% off, like that shows allyship of some sort.
If she has all these amazing resources, why doesn't she just offer them up to other parents? Why does she have to make money off of her child's sexuality? What makes her an expert, is what I want to know. [/quote]

I have a lot of feelings about this. On the one hand, sometimes people write books and stuff to help other people going through the same thing, and I think it is only fair to get paid for the immense amount of effort. If you look at it in that vein, I can't be TOO mad about it. HOWEVER, that would be if this were the only course she was selling. The fact that it is just the latest in a line of "ME Courses' makes it feel a whole lot more like cashing in on the fact that her daughter is gay. I want to say just pick a lane and stay in it. And I don't mean, never change your mind about anything. I mean, find what you do best and do THAT. Don't try to be a finance guru, a lifestyle guru, a parenting guru, and fashion guru, a therapy guru, etc. It's okay to not monetize everything that takes your fancy. I can't take her seriously as an expert on this when she's also got courses on twenty other different topics. I'll actually just go find a book or whatever by an expert and get that. I don't need Jen to be the middleman here.[/quote]
