    S1 Episode 5: Community

    How do we find nonbinary, trans, and queer parent community? What does it mean to raise kids in a broader community of queer support? How did our own first experiences of trans and queer community affect us growing up? Where do we see our stories reflected around us and connect with others like us now and across history? In this final episode in our parenting series, we talk with new guest, Raw, about finding Black, queer parent community as part of Parentxhood, growing up queer in Michigan, and their graphic novel featuring a non-binary main character. We hear again from Dylan Flunker and Meghan Myron-Karels one more time to close out this season. We’ll also be talking about Prime Video’s A League of Their Own series… because we can’t help ourselves… Visit us: beyondthebinarypodcast.com  Follow us on Instagram: @beyondthebinary_podcast  Learn more about Raw at http://www.rawislove.com/ or follow Raw on Instagram: @irawniq and @charliesbestworkyet  Episode resources: Parentxhood: A safe space for Black queer parents to create deep connections and build support systems for ourselves and our families: https://www.parentxhood.com/.  Family Equality: Trans, Nonbinary, and Gender Nonconforming Parents Virtual Peer Support Space. https://www.familyequality.org/trans-nonbinary-and-gender-nonconforming-parents-virtual-peer-support-space/   Den of Geek: “How A League of Their Own Highlights the Vibrancy of Queer Communities.” https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/how-a-league-of-their-own-highlights-the-vibrancy-of-queer-communities/  Podcasts: Gender Reveal Podcast: https://www.genderpodcast.com/  Making Queer History: https://www.makingqueerhistory.com/  Books: Before We Were Trans (Kit Heyam) For the kids: Charlie’s Best Work Yet (Ris Irawniq Anderson) Neither (Airlie Anderson)

    S1 Episode 3: Kids

    So, what happens for nonbinary parents once their kids are here and fully realized? How do we navigate things like school, sports, activities, and you know, other parents? And how do we navigate gender identity journeys that may still be in progress, or fluid over the course of our lives as parents? We talk about queer and nonbinary parent visibility while getting involved in our kids’ lives, raising gender creative kids, anti-trans legislation looming in places like Florida and elsewhere, and doing the proactive work to make sure our families are seen and respected. This week we talk with guests Jess Venable-Novak, and again with Meghan Myron-Karels and Ash Dasuqi.

    S1 Episode 2: Birth

    How does the gender binary show up around pregnancy and birth? How do trans and gender-nonconforming people navigate all that? How does race intersect with these experiences? And are things starting to change at all? Are our ideas about birth and gender becoming more expansive and more inclusive? And if they’re not, how can we make it better?

    S1 Episode 1: Conception

    What does the super-gendered landscape of parenthood look like for non-binary parents? Our culture is largely organized around the idea that parents are either Moms or Dads. But not everyone feels like a mom or a dad, so then what? How do we conceive of ourselves?
