Ever dated someone who was left handed and had to seat them at the end of the table? Or spent an extra 10 minutes at the grocery store because you have to track down help to get at the high shelf? Much of our world is designed around certain assumptions, but for those of us who don’t check all the boxes there can be not just a lack of step-stools and accommodations, but often an active campaign to change our identity. Social worker and trans story teller Phoebe Rose returns to the show to walk us through her own experiences and those of trans folx just trying to get by in a cis world and, for the love of Zod, find somewhere to pee. Catch the episode below and be sure to check back afterwards for some footNOTES!
