That’s especially true with heat waves like this one, where the temperatures stay high day after day, they stay high even at night, and our bodies don’t get a respite,” she told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We get gradually more dehydrated, our cardiovascular systems are stressed, people’s kidneys are stressed. For people with underlying conditions, that’s a real problem and a health risk.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Solomon noted that sometimes, older people can lose their thirst reflex, so remembering to drink water is very important. She also recommended that all people find cool places to spend time and avoid liquids that can be dehydrating, such as caffeinated drinks and alcohol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heat conditions are also expected to last well into next week, according to Nicole Sarment, a meteorologist in the National Weather Service’s Bay Area office. Because the Climate Prediction Center is forecasting above-average temperatures at least through the next two weeks, people should take extra precautions to stay cool, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re still in a potentially deadly heat event that is going to last for the better part of two weeks,” she told KQED. “People need to be in air conditioning; they need to wear light, loose clothing, not be outside if they don’t have to and stay hydrated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

About $9.5 billion on top of current spending, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.allhomeca.org/2024/06/25/what-it-will-take-modeling-solutions-to-homelessness-in-the-bay-area/\">report released Tuesday\u003c/a> from the research and policy nonprofit All Home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could cut unsheltered homelessness across the Bay Area by 75% over the next five years and reduce the number of new people falling into homelessness by 15%, the nonprofit projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The projections are part of the nonprofit’s new \u003ca href=\"https://www.allhomeca.org/regionalactionplan/\">Regional Action Plan\u003c/a>, a roadmap for achieving “functional zero,” a state in which homelessness is “rare, brief and one-time.” The organization’s first such plan, \u003ca href=\"https://www.allhomeca.org/wp-content/themes/allhome/library/images/plan/210413_Regional_Action_Plan_Final.pdf\">released in 2021\u003c/a>, laid a roadmap for shrinking the homeless population by three-quarters in three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three years later, there are still around 25,000 unsheltered, unhoused people in the region — a 30% drop from All Home’s approximation of 35,000 in 2021 — and the nonprofit estimates that at least three people fall into homelessness for every one person who gets housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We just haven’t had the level of resources needed to achieve very significant change,” said Ken Kirkey, chief partnerships officer with All Home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The blueprint emphasizes prevention — for every unit of temporary housing built, the nonprofit calls for two permanent units and four preventive interventions, such as emergency rental assistance to help with a security deposit — and has garnered endorsements from cities and counties across the region. However, the updated report cites several key roadblocks to progress, including a failure to invest in programs aimed at prevention, public frustration that stymies the political will to fund homelessness solutions at scale and inadequate funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an effort to chip away at those, the new report comes with an interactive \u003ca href=\"https://www.allhomeca.org/rap-dashboard/\">dashboard\u003c/a> that allows users to see how spending money on one preventive solution affects the overall cost of reducing homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, according to All Home’s modeling, reducing Bay Area homelessness by 75% in five years without spending any money on programs to prevent new homelessness would require some 10,000 units of temporary housing and 47,000 permanent homes at a cost of nearly $11 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spending about $1.4 billion on prevention efforts, the model shows, would reduce the number of new temporary shelter beds needed to about 2,400 and bring down the number of new permanent homes to about 31,000, reducing the total cost to achieve the same decrease in homelessness to about $8.6 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It really highlights that investments in targeted prevention are not only vitally important to helping individuals and households avoid the trauma of experiencing homelessness, but from an administrative standpoint, it is also more cost-effective,” said Adrian Gonzales, deputy chief of programs for All Home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The dashboard allows users to explore costs for individual counties or the entire region. It draws on data from the federal government’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.huduser.gov/portal/datasets/ahar/2023-ahar-part-1-pit-estimates-of-homelessness-in-the-us.html\">Point-In-Time Count\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.hudexchange.info/programs/hmis/\">Homeless Management Information System\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The updated regional plan reflects recommendations from a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11982237/california-audit-questions-state-homelessness-spending-san-jose\">recent state audit \u003c/a>that found the state lacks the infrastructure to evaluate how well its response to homelessness works. It includes \u003ca href=\"https://www.allhomeca.org/support-card/\">a tool aimed at helping cities and counties\u003c/a> hold themselves accountable by tracking their progress using key metrics, like the number of people returning to homelessness and the number leaving temporary placements for permanent homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We know pretty well what prevents and ends homelessness,” said Ray Bramson, chief operating officer at the nonprofit Destination: Home, who served on an advisory committee that helped shape the action plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s putting those solutions to work at the necessary scale that’s the challenge, he said. “The best way to get those dollars that we need to make these solutions work is to look at a regional level and get all the communities together rowing in the same direction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bay Area voters may soon get a chance to do just that. On Wednesday, the Bay Area Housing Finance Authority \u003ca href=\"https://mtc.ca.gov/meetings-events/bay-area-housing-finance-authority-2024-06-26t163500\">is expected to decide\u003c/a> whether to put a $20 billion regional affordable housing bond on the November ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Revenue from the bond would be used to create affordable housing for local workers, seniors, veterans and people experiencing homelessness.

But even before San Francisco was officially a sanctuary city, it has always been a beacon for queer folks like Quin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>My connection to the Bay area is very much a part of my connection with like myself and like my body.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>This Pride Month, we’re sharing this story of one trans person’s journey to the bay in their own words. Stay with us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>My name is Quin Petty. I was raised in what is sometimes colloquially known as the Bible Belt of Southern California. Very Mormon forward town, in a place called Marietta, California. My mom is Mexican and my dad is half Japanese and half white. Growing up, I always knew that I was different and I always kind of felt. Closer to femininity than I did to boy things, I guess.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>I feel like it’s a very typical queer experience to like, know yourself, telling yourself without actually telling on yourself for a while until you reach pre-K kindergarten. But I think more than anything, my attraction to boys was definitely more so. The thing that led me to realizing I was different, especially because I knew that boys liked girls and like I wanted boys to like me. I do very specifically remember when I was younger constantly asking like, why was I born a boy? Like, why can’t I be a girl? It just wasn’t clicking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>I didn’t understand why that option wasn’t available to me. So yeah, I came out around sophomore year of high school. It was the first day of P.E., and I had it with one of my best friends, and there was like some new girl was like, approaching me and like, we were talking and blah, blah, blah. I specifically remember her, like asking. She was like, are you okay? I just remember my best friend fully ready to defend me. She took in the breath to say no. And I was like, yeah. I just remember the look of shock on her face like, bitch, I’ve been lying for you this whole time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>Everyone was already blaming me for thinking that I was gay and I was like, well, if I am gay, then they have to find something else to bully me for. Like, they can’t just keep going with us forever. If there ever was a perfect time to come out, I think I got a good time. I got a good time slot. 2008 was around the time, like Lady Gaga was coming out. Katy Perry was out here kissing girls. There was just so much culturally going on. Prop A was a big issue. Don’t ask, Don’t Tell was still being talked about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>There were things happening not only within culture, but within government and within everybody’s TVs at home. It wasn’t necessarily this bad thing anymore. And if anything, I think I saw that and I realized that like, hey, here’s this thing that I’ve had in me for forever, and people are finally starting to appreciate it, kind of see it as this thing that makes you special and makes you different. And it’s crazy too, because throughout high school, I was still kind of getting bullied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>Like people are still talking behind my back, but I didn’t care. Another big thing that was happening around this time was like social media. I mean, yeah, I’d had a Myspace for a minute. I think I just made my Facebook. I actually happened to stumble upon this boy’s profile who, like, looked really cool. His all his photos were amazing and like, I believe he had a Lady Gaga song on his profile. And we just started talking like every single day. And they were working towards going to the Academy of Art in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>So yeah, that’s how I met my best friend Alejo. There was an opportunity that came up where I was able to, like, go visit Alejo, and I think my parents were down for it. But something happened and I ended up getting grounded. And they’re like, you’re not going to San Francisco anymore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>And I was like, I know you guys didn’t cancel the stick. I had access to their email. And so I went through their email and I found the ticket, printed it out. And like I specifically remember in the dead of night, slowly opening the front door, and my mom comes out and like her little nightgown and basically catches me running away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>And I just remember her repeating in her little sleepy haze, she was like, you’re going to come back for me? And I was like, yeah, there’s a return flight. Like, I’m not going to just stay there. I spent a good like my first two weeks in San Francisco. Alejo was this, like, broke art school student living in what used to be a utility closet in this, like, poorly kept apartment complex right off of Octavian. They had one single loft bed, but I was having the time of my life. I didn’t care. We had a hot plate, we had ramen, we had hot dogs and a dream.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>I stole a couple meals from that Safeway right there off of Market Street. Went to Dolores for the first time. It felt like one of those things where it’s like, I shouldn’t be here. This isn’t a place I was meant to be, but here I am. Me as a gay person from this horrible little town. Like, I wasn’t meant to make it out, but I did. I ended up moving up to the Bay about two years, 2 or 3 years after I first visited the morning of like, I think it was like four in the morning. I decided to start this voyage, with my parents permission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>This time I ended up moving in with Alejo again for about like four months or so. We were living in Concord. And I was working at Club Monaco at the Westfield in San Francisco. And, yeah. After like 4 or 6 months, maybe I was able to save up enough money to get an apartment. Well, a room in San Francisco for $400. And that was it. That’s all I needed. I lived in what I like to refer to as the outer, outer, outer mission. It’s past Excelsior, but like literally one block away from Daily City. I guess you could call it a duplex.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>You could also call it a Chinese family living in their basement and letting four crust punks and me live above them. When I moved up here for the first time, and especially when I moved to San Francisco, it felt like everything about my like, being just felt like it was at a time when I made it, you know, I was just like, yes, I was just a sales associate, but I don’t know, I felt like I was on Gossip Girl. So when I first came out, I was very much a gay boy. I mean, I looked the part. I was very Twinkie.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>In those days, I would say that I was I was happy enough at the time. I started to have more of a concrete idea of like. Where I was headed gender wise. If you ask any trans person who has taken time to transition and has like had multiple coming out, I think we all have this little conversation with ourself, this little mini check in where we’re like, girl, are you are you trans lady? Like, are you sure? And then there’s always that talk back where you’re like, no, there’s no way. Why would you want to make your life harder?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>I ended up moving back home for about a year, actually. So like living back home, especially living in a place where you sort of have to rehash a lot of your trauma, a lot of it gets brought back up again. And I think in having that stuff being brought back up, I realized that I couldn’t necessarily have these important conversations with myself and go through these healing processes in the same place that I had endured so much trauma as well. So when I finally ended up moving back to the Bay area, I decided to go into food service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>There was a coworker there. Shout out to Justine! We love Justine. She asked the most simple question. This was the first time we were meeting and she was like, oh, what are your pronouns, by the way, that it was the first time anyone had ever asked me that question. And I paused for like a good 15 seconds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>And I literally remember responding with like, I’ll get back to you. Months after that, like whole situation where Justine had asked me that question. I don’t know if I ever gave them an answer, but I was still very much in flux with that question when the pandemic started.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>Because my job was affected by the pandemic. I was getting checks at that time. So I literally it was just like, it’s one of those things where you’re like, well, if all of your things are taken care of, like what? What are you what do you what do you have to to to give to society? I was able to, like, really get into makeup during the pandemic. My friends definitely were the most affirming. I found a really good base up here, obviously, and I had a very good community of online friends also that were super supportive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>I debuted my new name on Facebook for like All To See, which I don’t know, I sort of assumed was a very like definitive way to do that. I’ve had the conversation with like a couple family members, a few like really accepting and open aunts. I haven’t really yeah, I haven’t really had that conversation with my family, if I’m being honest. They still either just refer to me as Mehul or by my dad name, which we’re working on it. Me and my parents sort of had this like this break.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>We didn’t talk for like a good, I want to say to 2 or 3 years. Basically around the time of the George Floyd protests. I was talking on the phone with my mom. We were sort of talking about it, and she sort of said something along the lines of like, well, you know, if like, those people just followed the way of Jehovah. And I was like, mom, it led me to this question that I asked her where I was, like, as it stands, like I’m the way that I am when you die and when I die and like, you’re in Paradise, like, and I’m not there, like, are you going to be okay with that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>She paused a little, but she was also like, well, I mean, yeah, I’m going to miss you. But. And like, that was kind of all it took. I just remember clicking the phone off. I didn’t talk to her for like 2 or 3 years after that. Currently I identify as. Ultimately non-binary, ultimately, ultimately trans like. I really prefer using that umbrella. Mostly to give myself room to grow. I suppose I do often think that like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>And I know this is there’s a lot of discourse about this, within the community of like the validity of taking on certain monikers and like. Like it’s okay, but like, I don’t, I don’t know, I just I still think that there are. Other trans women who have gone through so much more than I have to be able, would like to be able to to take on that title. Feels like I am. I’m taking on so much more than just that. I’ve pretty much fully socially transitioned like my parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>No, they don’t necessarily talk about it, but they know. I’ve also sort of been a part of this school of thought that’s like your transness is also not invalid. If you don’t decide to medically transition like, I’m I’m of two minds of it because like, I would love to have facial feminization surgery, but like it also doesn’t define my transness. Am I interested in medical transition? The short answer is yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>It’s just one of those things that like, I guess, much like San Francisco was when I first moved here. And when I first thought about coming up here, it was it’s like that exists in such an abstract, like ideal version of what I want that like, it feels so unattainable, but who knows? I think a lot of me being up here, especially during the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>Especially during a time where we as a community really had to band together, not just as queer people, but as like people that are for the rights of all individuals and like being up here for like the George Floyd protests and like the Black Lives Matter movement, like, I don’t think I could have been anywhere else and felt more affirmed in my humanity in general, not just my transness. It’s really hard to imagine living anywhere else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>That was Quin Petty in conversation with our intern, Ellie Prickett-Morgan. This episode was pitched and cut by Ellie Prickett-Morgan. It was also produced by Adhiti Bandlamudi, who scored this episode.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Our senior editor is Alan Montecillo. Additional production support from Me. The Bay is a production of listener supported KQED in San Francisco. I’m Ericka Cruz Guevarra, thanks so much for listening.

And like I specifically remember in the dead of night, slowly opening the front door, and my mom comes out and like her little nightgown and basically catches me running away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>And I just remember her repeating in her little sleepy haze, she was like, you’re going to come back for me? And I was like, yeah, there’s a return flight. Like, I’m not going to just stay there. I spent a good like my first two weeks in San Francisco. Alejo was this, like, broke art school student living in what used to be a utility closet in this, like, poorly kept apartment complex right off of Octavian. They had one single loft bed, but I was having the time of my life. I didn’t care. We had a hot plate, we had ramen, we had hot dogs and a dream.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>I stole a couple meals from that Safeway right there off of Market Street. Went to Dolores for the first time. It felt like one of those things where it’s like, I shouldn’t be here. This isn’t a place I was meant to be, but here I am. Me as a gay person from this horrible little town. Like, I wasn’t meant to make it out, but I did. I ended up moving up to the Bay about two years, 2 or 3 years after I first visited the morning of like, I think it was like four in the morning. I decided to start this voyage, with my parents permission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>This time I ended up moving in with Alejo again for about like four months or so. We were living in Concord. And I was working at Club Monaco at the Westfield in San Francisco. And, yeah. After like 4 or 6 months, maybe I was able to save up enough money to get an apartment. Well, a room in San Francisco for $400. And that was it. That’s all I needed. I lived in what I like to refer to as the outer, outer, outer mission. It’s past Excelsior, but like literally one block away from Daily City. I guess you could call it a duplex.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>You could also call it a Chinese family living in their basement and letting four crust punks and me live above them. When I moved up here for the first time, and especially when I moved to San Francisco, it felt like everything about my like, being just felt like it was at a time when I made it, you know, I was just like, yes, I was just a sales associate, but I don’t know, I felt like I was on Gossip Girl. So when I first came out, I was very much a gay boy. I mean, I looked the part. I was very Twinkie.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>In those days, I would say that I was I was happy enough at the time. I started to have more of a concrete idea of like. Where I was headed gender wise. If you ask any trans person who has taken time to transition and has like had multiple coming out, I think we all have this little conversation with ourself, this little mini check in where we’re like, girl, are you are you trans lady? Like, are you sure? And then there’s always that talk back where you’re like, no, there’s no way. Why would you want to make your life harder?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>I ended up moving back home for about a year, actually. So like living back home, especially living in a place where you sort of have to rehash a lot of your trauma, a lot of it gets brought back up again. And I think in having that stuff being brought back up, I realized that I couldn’t necessarily have these important conversations with myself and go through these healing processes in the same place that I had endured so much trauma as well. So when I finally ended up moving back to the Bay area, I decided to go into food service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>There was a coworker there. Shout out to Justine! We love Justine. She asked the most simple question. This was the first time we were meeting and she was like, oh, what are your pronouns, by the way, that it was the first time anyone had ever asked me that question. And I paused for like a good 15 seconds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>And I literally remember responding with like, I’ll get back to you. Months after that, like whole situation where Justine had asked me that question. I don’t know if I ever gave them an answer, but I was still very much in flux with that question when the pandemic started.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>Because my job was affected by the pandemic. I was getting checks at that time. So I literally it was just like, it’s one of those things where you’re like, well, if all of your things are taken care of, like what? What are you what do you what do you have to to to give to society? I was able to, like, really get into makeup during the pandemic. My friends definitely were the most affirming. I found a really good base up here, obviously, and I had a very good community of online friends also that were super supportive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>I debuted my new name on Facebook for like All To See, which I don’t know, I sort of assumed was a very like definitive way to do that. I’ve had the conversation with like a couple family members, a few like really accepting and open aunts. I haven’t really yeah, I haven’t really had that conversation with my family, if I’m being honest. They still either just refer to me as Mehul or by my dad name, which we’re working on it. Me and my parents sort of had this like this break.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>We didn’t talk for like a good, I want to say to 2 or 3 years. Basically around the time of the George Floyd protests. I was talking on the phone with my mom. We were sort of talking about it, and she sort of said something along the lines of like, well, you know, if like, those people just followed the way of Jehovah. And I was like, mom, it led me to this question that I asked her where I was, like, as it stands, like I’m the way that I am when you die and when I die and like, you’re in Paradise, like, and I’m not there, like, are you going to be okay with that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>She paused a little, but she was also like, well, I mean, yeah, I’m going to miss you. But. And like, that was kind of all it took. I just remember clicking the phone off. I didn’t talk to her for like 2 or 3 years after that. Currently I identify as. Ultimately non-binary, ultimately, ultimately trans like. I really prefer using that umbrella. Mostly to give myself room to grow. I suppose I do often think that like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>And I know this is there’s a lot of discourse about this, within the community of like the validity of taking on certain monikers and like. Like it’s okay, but like, I don’t, I don’t know, I just I still think that there are. Other trans women who have gone through so much more than I have to be able, would like to be able to to take on that title. Feels like I am. I’m taking on so much more than just that. I’ve pretty much fully socially transitioned like my parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>No, they don’t necessarily talk about it, but they know. I’ve also sort of been a part of this school of thought that’s like your transness is also not invalid. If you don’t decide to medically transition like, I’m I’m of two minds of it because like, I would love to have facial feminization surgery, but like it also doesn’t define my transness. Am I interested in medical transition? The short answer is yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>It’s just one of those things that like, I guess, much like San Francisco was when I first moved here. And when I first thought about coming up here, it was it’s like that exists in such an abstract, like ideal version of what I want that like, it feels so unattainable, but who knows? I think a lot of me being up here, especially during the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quin Petty: \u003c/strong>Especially during a time where we as a community really had to band together, not just as queer people, but as like people that are for the rights of all individuals and like being up here for like the George Floyd protests and like the Black Lives Matter movement, like, I don’t think I could have been anywhere else and felt more affirmed in my humanity in general, not just my transness. It’s really hard to imagine living anywhere else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>That was Quin Petty in conversation with our intern, Ellie Prickett-Morgan. This episode was pitched and cut by Ellie Prickett-Morgan. It was also produced by Adhiti Bandlamudi, who scored this episode.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Our senior editor is Alan Montecillo. Additional production support from Me. The Bay is a production of listener supported KQED in San Francisco. I’m Ericka Cruz Guevarra, thanks so much for listening. Talk to you next time.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>"

"content": "\u003cp>I went to Ruth Whippman’s Berkeley home for tea in early May because it was time for my anxiety check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I arrived, I realized that my appointments with Whippman, a \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/05/opinion/boys-parenting-loneliness.html\">British author and cultural critic\u003c/a>, were aligned with presidential election cycles. I find Whippman’s candor refreshing and rational. She doesn’t sugarcoat but adds sugar to the tea that she serves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whippman’s husband, Neil Levine, was working downstairs and Zephy, 10, was at band practice. Solly, 13, breezed through the kitchen on his way out the door to play Dungeons & Dragons at Games of Berkeley. As he held the toy leaf blower he was delivering to his 6-year-old brother, Abe, we briefly talked about game strategy. He flinched when Whippman lifted her light blue mug, which was the same color as her phone case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, Whippman published \u003cem>BoyMom: Reimagining Boyhood in the Age of Impossible Masculinity\u003c/em>, a treatise on the difficult challenge of raising decent men in an era when masculinity is weaponized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>BoyMom\u003c/em> is a memoir of a six-year stretch that included the election of a rapacious, misogynistic and xenophobic president, the #MeToo movement, the rise of the masculinity influencer and the isolation of the pandemic. Whippman, a mother of three boys, was concerned about raising her sons alongside a generation of boys that insecure tough guys are exploiting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Using reporting and analysis, she interrogated the toxic patterns in boys and men. In the book, you’ll meet insecure teenage boys. You’ll meet hopeless incels — the portmanteau of “involuntary celibate” — who are susceptible to the agitators who play on the fears of white male emasculation for likes. You’ll also meet fathers, mothers and therapists who are battling the invisible ways we separate boys from their humanity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wait a minute, how did we get here?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let’s go back to 2017, when women began using a hashtag to shine awareness on sexual abuse, sexual harassment and rape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11987769\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11987769\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/240522-BoyMom-10-BL_qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/240522-BoyMom-10-BL_qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/240522-BoyMom-10-BL_qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/240522-BoyMom-10-BL_qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/240522-BoyMom-10-BL_qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/240522-BoyMom-10-BL_qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ruth Whippman poses for a photo at her home in Berkeley on May 22. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“As much as it was a revelation of substance, #MeToo was a revolution of storytelling,” Whippman writes in \u003cem>BoyMom\u003c/em>. “Perhaps the ultimate power available to any human being is to have control of the narrative.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>#MeToo exposed men who used privilege, power and wealth to assault women and dodge consequences. The left branded masculinity as toxic, while the right, if you will, leaned in and packaged toxic masculinity, as Whippman writes, “the answer to all our problems, both politicians and online influencers peddling a new brand of wounded, furious manhood, drawn from a combination of superhero fantasies and defensive rage.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oh boy, we are in trouble.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Whippman’s reporting, boys mature more slowly than girls socially, cognitively and physically, and are about 10 times more likely than girls to develop into antisocial adolescents.

Whippman, a mother of three boys, was concerned about raising her sons alongside a generation of boys that insecure tough guys are exploiting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Using reporting and analysis, she interrogated the toxic patterns in boys and men. In the book, you’ll meet insecure teenage boys. You’ll meet hopeless incels — the portmanteau of “involuntary celibate” — who are susceptible to the agitators who play on the fears of white male emasculation for likes. You’ll also meet fathers, mothers and therapists who are battling the invisible ways we separate boys from their humanity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wait a minute, how did we get here?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let’s go back to 2017, when women began using a hashtag to shine awareness on sexual abuse, sexual harassment and rape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11987769\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11987769\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/240522-BoyMom-10-BL_qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/240522-BoyMom-10-BL_qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/240522-BoyMom-10-BL_qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/240522-BoyMom-10-BL_qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/240522-BoyMom-10-BL_qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/240522-BoyMom-10-BL_qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ruth Whippman poses for a photo at her home in Berkeley on May 22. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“As much as it was a revelation of substance, #MeToo was a revolution of storytelling,” Whippman writes in \u003cem>BoyMom\u003c/em>. “Perhaps the ultimate power available to any human being is to have control of the narrative.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>#MeToo exposed men who used privilege, power and wealth to assault women and dodge consequences.
