Show Notes
Today I have the distinct honor of interviewing Emily Kailyn. Emily began a community called The Transverse and continues her great work for the transgender, nonbinary, and gender non-conforming community. Emily and I consider the hard decisions required in building community, the dreams we need to move society forward, and why confidence makes the gender.
