How to love someone with your words, actions, and priorities (in addition to your feelings, which I'm sure are very nice) -- 7. How to apologize (properly, not like a Republican Congressman) -- 8. How to have a disagreement, or even an argument, without having a fight -- 9. How to be reasonably graceful when a relationship has ended, even if you feel wretched -- 10. How to take criticism (and how to tell what's criticism and what's just a pointless insult) -- 11. How to take a compliment sometimes (no one is reading your diary; we all struggle with this) -- 12.

Summary:  As an author, educator, and public speaker, S. Bear Bergman has documented his experience as, among other things, a trans parent, with wit and aplomb. He also writes the advice column "Asking Bear," in which he answers crucial questions about how best to make our collective way through the world. This book elaborates on "Asking Bear"'s premise: a gentle, witty, and insightful book of practical advice for the modern age. It offers Dad advice and Jewish bubbe wisdom, all filtered through a queer lens, to help you navigate some of the complexities of life -- from how to make big decisions or make a good apology, to how to get someone's new name and pronouns right as quickly as possible, to how to gracefully navigate a breakup. With warmth and candor, it calls out social inequities and injustices in traditional advice-giving, validates your feelings, asks a lot of questions, and tries to help you be your best possible self with kindness, compassion, and humour.
