Brett this is great

Just finished the end of the first episode. So excellent, and honest, and non judgemental. For those who have ears to hear, this will open some doors.

Christine KS ,

Breath of fresh air. A connecting podcast.

I thoroughly appreciate Brett's honesty and willingness to answer questions for those of us that are learning how to be an ally within the trans community. Brett's compassion and patience clearly shine through. Looking forward to more episodes!
