Adore this show!

Just listened to the rapid onset of gender dysphoria episode. As a parent of a trans kiddo, I’ve been on the front lines of seeing a child at the age of 8 beginning to realize who they are. They are almost 20 now. Alive, healthy, living well. Without therapy and treatment I’m 100% certain they wouldn’t be with us today. (edit—it took a year of counseling and a doc approval before they could access hormone treatment)

Bummed

I LOVE this show and will listen to literally anything they decide to talk about. But they haven’t posted regularly in nearly a year (for valid reasons) and keep apologizing and saying they’re going to find a way to move forward but never seem to make it happen or communicate clearly about what’s going on. I’m a subscriber and now we also haven’t gotten subscriber episodes for June or July. Just feels like they’ve lost interest/run out of ideas and the show is slowly dying. I’m so sad!

Mike needs 10,000 platforms for stupid internet fights

just Mike’s twitter beefs and frankly the ethics of still being on twitter alone sink this. for the love of god jump ship, Aubrey.
