In this episode of the Parent Advocate podcast, Lizette and Stephen interview Rutgers University Associate Dean, Marta Esquilin and we get into racial microaggressions, parenting twins, raising trans masculine children, and the attack on DEI in education. In today's topics, we get into South Carolina’s ban on GAC for TGNC youth, the class action lawsuit against Aetna to cover fertility treatments for LGBTQ+ couples, a gay North Carolina teacher fired for announcing his wedding on Facebook, and a NY Supreme Court ruling blocking Nassau County's ban on trans women in sports. In our Allies & Assholes segment, we celebrate Molly Cook the first out LGBTQ person to serve in the Texas Senate, and we drag Timothy Simmons, the conservative sVirginia school board member who singled out a queer student for their artwork.
