Episode 422: When will we accept the difference of our children?
We will never have inclusive education if we can't accept differences - we need to stop feeling there is something wrong with our children.

Episode 423: Trans Changing Room Conversation
Have you ever considered how ridiculously selfish and insecure you are? Like do you really think your body is so much better? or that any Trans person embarks on this journey so they can share a changing room with you and perve over your body? It brings up deep questions of how you relate to men? How do you relate to gay women? It's such a place of insecurity and unfortunately, success doesn't come with security.
