And we will take as much time as it takes to talk about it!!! Trans people have existed and will continue to exist. Documented history notes a “third sex” as far back as 7000BCE. They existed in every culture, just as gay and queer people. They lived alongside many religions and are acknowledged in several. This ep is quite long. We won't be recording for about 3 weeks so we hope this will do. Be well. Stay safe. Get educated. Share information not misinformation.
