As we mentioned at the top of the episode, we're donating this month's support to three of our trans journo-friends! They've been unbelievably patient with Mike as he's navigated the science and politics of this issue over the last year. Here's where to find and support their work:
- Parker Molloy (readtpa.com)
- Katelyn Burns (patreon.com/katelynburns)
