the Transgenda Ana and Cam

This week we are joined by 7 year old Alex, a transgender boy who wants to start his own podcast and YouTube channel, and insights from his mom Andrea.  Alex uses he/him, she/her, and they/them pronouns and came out at the end of their Kindergarten year.  We also discuss a PBS trans cultural map!

We're talking about trans representation in media again this week! This time we're discussing Maddy Thorson (creator of the game Celeste) and Wendy Carlos (composer of scores including TRON and The Shining.)
