Really enjoying the interviews and tidbits of the book. I still need to read it but in the meantime it’s very engaging to listen to the podcast. I’m learning a lot!
Don’t skip this podcast if you’re interested in the personal as political! Dean is freeing us from so many lies of domination within sex, romance, and community spaces. Truly healing and revolutionary!
Another amazing gift to the world from Dean Spade. We need this. Fuel for the revolution. Thank you Dean !!!
Amazing to have a podcast (and book!) that avoids moralizing relationships beyond how we care for one another. I’ve teared up, felt like my circumstances have been acknowledged, and given tools that can help in all manner of relationships. Grateful for this.
