  • Ads are too frequent

    I love the content of the show but I’m so annoyed by the constant ad placement every few minutes while someone is talking mid-sentence made me delete to podcast.

    Loved the show. Never have listened, but I’ll be a following now. JL is brilliant. Dan, a talented host. Real conversation, without the stereotypical atheist anger. Well done.

  • The name couldn’t be further from the truth

    While they claim to seek the truth they only want to bolster the ā€œtruthā€ as they see it. As a long time atheist it shames me that these are the kind of people that represent me online.

Truth Wanted 09.14 with Sofia Spina and Maxine LaQueene
Q: How do trans people identify that they are trans?
The guest explains that identification varies by individual, with some recognizing it through personal feelings and experiences, while others may present or live in ways that align with their authentic gender identity; it's about authenticity and not conforming to others' expectations.
