United Statesa month ago - I listen for Erica’s contributions
Erica, thank you for insisting on journalistic investigation, facts, and reality. Sandeep, your inflammatory statements about “wokeness” and “the deep state” have no place in adult conversation.
Apple Podcasts4EphemeralErikaUnited States2 months ago - Grift and Grifter and the Other Guy

I thought Erica’s sniping at Sandeep for using the term “gender critical” was very intolerant. Are we not to question the sanity of people who literally feel they were “born in the wrong body”. She can get away with calling people like me “TERF” yet I do not aim to deny trans people the right to exist nor am I a “radical feminist “. There actually is nuance to this situation and there should be dialogue not name calling. And by the way I am a liberal Democrat.

It’s wonderful to hear from ... more
