My guest this episode is Dara Hoffman-Fox, a queer-identified gender therapist, writer, educator, and transgender rights advocate. Frequently serving as a subject-matter expert on transgender and non-binary issues for the media, Dara is a prolific thought leader on the topic of gender identity whose articles and videos have empowered thousands worldwide. Dara provides education resources through a blog, YouTube channel, social media networks, trainings and presentations.

This episode runs long, because the conversation that Dara and I were having was so great, that neither one of us were in a hurry to end it. Dara is an amazing person, and I'm extremely happy to finally make this show happen, and that the conversation went so well.

Music:

To close this episode out I asked FLOWTUS if I could play one of the tracks they recorded outside of the studio. As I'm typing this I had just heard them last night, they were amazing, and I didn't want to wait for them to hit the studio before I shared their music. Give it a listen, imagine you're sitting 6 feet from the band with a gorgeous fire burning behind you, surrounded by friends. FLOWTUS will forever have a special place in my heart for being a great soundtrack on such an amazing night.

You can find FLOWTUS on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/FLOWTUSBAND and you can purchase, download, and be alerted when new music is released at https://flowtus.bandcamp.com/releases
