  • Summary

  • What is queer coding? How about queer baiting? And why is it okay to say queer now - it was an insult when I was a kid! Finding common ground with kids as a parent is tough enough without a new and specific vocabulary - but a willingness to learn about these terms and issues is one of the best ways a straight parent can support an LGBTQ+ kid. We hope that listening in as we discuss these topics can help you - whether you're parent or child, straight or not - strike up your own discussions at home. And if you're a kid who's not quite able to talk about these things at home yet, we hope we can make you feel loved and supported by welcoming you into our conversations.

    Dec 9 2024

    A couple of episodes ago, we discussed how ridiculous it was for Republicans to pour so much money into anti-trans campaign ads when it was such an unpopular issue. Now some say Democrats should have distanced themselves from transgender issues because those ads WERE successful. Is this true? Did those ads make a difference?

    Gender Affirming Care, Actually
    Nov 25 2024

    Gender affirming care is widely mischaracterized, often as a scare tactic. We think it's important that people know what it really involves, especially concerning young people. Siena shares some of their journey with hormone treatment as we encourage our listeners to learn, understand, and discourage others from spreading misinformation.
