  • A great host

    This was by far the most relaxed and enjoyable interview I have yet to do for a podcast. More importantly, I immediately felt a kinship with Jaimie and her audience about creating the safest and most empowering world possible for all of our kids. Thank you for your service to the LGBTQ+ community specifically and to families of any kind.

Q: Can we take it back to young Jesse figuring out who they are and then take it to the pause to have the family?

Q: Can you talk a little bit about what it was like as two trans men pregnant, like being pregnant in the world as a trans man?
