I had a LOT of fun doing this podcast, which aired last month. Dr. Karin was very open to what I had to say and asked a lot of very good questions, forcing me to defend my positions on various topics. It was challenging but also a lot of fun.
From the podcast site:
What is a woman? In the last several years, this question—which once would have seemed perfectly obvious to anyone—has become both perplexing and divisive. Feminist Kara Dansky joins Love & Life for our first “Love & Life: Let’s Talk About It!” episode. We’re committed to open conversations—even about subjects that are currently considered taboo.
Kara and I consider the following questions:
What is gender vs. sex?
Does “gender identity” exist?
How should we compassionately respond to gender dysphoria?
Are children truly more likely to commit suicide if they aren’t permitted to transition or are suicide rates higher post transitioning?
In some cases, do men claim a trans identity in order to access women’s spaces?
What about men in women’s sports?
Is the trans movement homophobic?
Does the trans movement dehumanize women?
Is the trans movement related to transhumanism?
What is a woman?

Kara is a model of clarity throughout this podcast. I recommend this interview to anyone wanting to gain a basic understanding--or an excellent, concise refresher--of the issues discussed.
Yes, podcasts! What a great way to communicate with the larger world without leaving your house.
I have no idea how podcasts get booked, if the host always initiates or if the guest can also put the word out that they're available. But off the top of my head, here are a few podcasts that I listen to fairly regularly, that I believe would be particularly receptive:
"Heterodorx," - Nina Paley and Corinna Cohn
"The Unspeakable" - Meghan Daum
"Marshall Matters" - Winston Marshall (he interviewed Kellie-Jay)
At the next level is Megyn Kelly. Her audience is huge and she's a pitbull on trans, regarding women and children both. She's been covering it almost daily lately, she's super bright, a sympathetic interviewer, and always well-prepared.
