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.

I finally had the chance to hear the whole podcast. Great job! What a pleasure it must have been to have a host who gets it and is sympathetic and objective in hearing your ideas, including when they were new to her. Because of your expertise, you've whittled down your arguments to what is essential, which means you can cover a lot of ground, especially with a receptive host. This episode is a great one to share with people who are on the fence and open to learning, because its tone is so reasonable.

The positive exposure of TV is significant (i.e., Dr. Phil). But shows like Dr. Phil's are designed to turn every topic into a contentious shit show where, for the sake of entertainment, no one idea is allowed to "land" without some harebrained counterargument derailing the logical flow of conversation. (It was great that you were able to use the example of the pregnant man from Dr. Phil to make a point.) I hope more podcasts will be in your future, if you have the time for it.
