Apple Podcasts5Justinluver22United States4 years ago - Excellent, compelling podcast of personal stories
I am not a parent of a trans child, but I never miss an episode of this excellent podcast. It helps me be a better ally to friends and coworkers who are trans or have trans or nonbinary kids and to be an advocate for all LGBTQIA people. I so appreciate the clear explanation of their children’s journeys, so I don’t have to ask overly personal or inappropriate questions of friends. I deeply appreciate Joy and Diana’s courage in creating this podcast, it is really a gift and no doubt a labor of lo... more

This podcast rarely fails to make me either laugh out loud or sob out loud. And it always allows me to learn. I truly appreciate the authenticity of Diana and Joy, the knowledge Diana brings as a former health care provider, and just better understanding the complex issues surrounding raising a trans child. Thank you for the excellent work you both do.
