All the Genders Quinn

In this episode, Quinn gets the opportunity to speak with the dynamic Jupiter Peraza, the Director of Social Justice and Empowerment initiatives for the San Francisco Transgender District, an area in San Francisco's Tenderloin that is officially recognized by the city and that helps provide connection, continuity, and support for trans San Franciscans.
Jupiter talks about her experiences growing up undocumented and trans, about finding herself and finding her voice, about the work of the district, and much more.

Manny's, the community gathering space Jupiter mentions in the interview, is at https://WelcomeToMannys.com .

Quinn welcomes friends (of theirs and of each other) Jenn Grossi and Dr. Trish Derocher to the podcast. Like Quinn, Jenn and Trish both use she pronouns and they pronouns, but they each experience their gender differently.

Both Trish and Jenn are often assumed to be cis women. What works and doesn't work about that, and how does being nonbinary affect their lives and their relationships?

You'll also hear about Jen's experiences as a nonbinary actor and musician, Trish's somatic coaching work, trans and nonbinary children (Quinn and both guests, in addition to being nonbinary themselves, also all have trans and/or nonbinary kids), and much more.

This week's guest Ring talks with Quinn about growing up fundamentalist, evangelical, and queer; Schroedinger's Gender; nonbinary elves; and Freddie Mercury as a spirit guardian. Quinn tries and (sadly) fails to pronounce "funvangelical."

 Sam is a nonbinary trans man, a nursing student, a visual artist, and Quinn's younger son. His partner, Lane, is a nonbinary writer and student. In this episode, they talk with Quinn about finding gender, being trans and nonbinary in the Deep South, the need for better awareness of trans and nonbinary issues in medical education, and much more. 

Miles Nelson is a writer, illustrator, trans man, and cape enthusiast. In this episode, Miles talks with Quinn about coming out to some family members in his wedding invitation, how being trans does and doesn’t intersect for him with being on the autism spectrum, a dragon that used to haunt his dreams, and stories of trans joy.

Gustavo Mercado Muñiz is a joyful nonbinary person who was born and raised in Puerto Rico, and who is the Transgender Program Coordinator at the Vermont Pride Center. In this inaugural episode of the podcast, they talk with Quinn about the importance of their family (both birth and found), magic, navigating the Spanish language as a nonbinary person, what it was like to grow up nonbinary without knowing there was such a thing as being nonbinary, and the They Gun. Also, we decide whether or not it’s OK to swear on the podcast.
