Come again. Say what?

In this episode of the Parent Advocate, Lizette and Stephen interview nonbinary researcher Em Matsuno of the Arizona State University and talk parent support programs, supporting trans youth, understanding what it means to be nonbinary, and a Night of Trans & Nonbinary Joy. In Today's Topics, we discuss the win for abortion rights at the Supreme Court, the federal appeals court siding with a middle school on a First Amendment case over a "there are only two genders" t-shirt, the Colorado GOP referring to LGBTQ people are "godless groomers" and the federal judge in Florida striking down the state's ban on gender affirming care for trans youth and adults. In our Allies & Assholes segment, we celebrated Marlon Wayans for standing up for the LGBTQ community against trolls, and drag Pope Francis for using a derogatory term to describe gay men attempting to enter the seminary.
