In this episode of the Parent Advocate. Lizette and I talk about our respective weeks, which includes solo dating, sleeping on old ladies on the train, pilates, more screenings, and a couple of proud papa moments. In today’s topics we talk about the sheer amount of money being spent by Republicans on anti-trans ads this election cycle and the Democrats lining up with them, Governor Newsom’s veto of the Care Without Fear Act, and judges pushing back on the administration’s attempts to withhold HIV care from trans patients.

In Allies & Assholes we celebrate progressive Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed for attending a “whole ass medical school” and supporting transgender youth’s right to health care. We drag Joseph and Arlene Kutzko for abusing their transgender child and then claiming that the state took them away for not affirming them.
