In this special episode of the Parent Advocate podcast, we air an interview with Carlos Salazar recorded this summer at the last Dad’s Retreat in Dodgeville, MN. Lizette and Stephen catch up on summer shenanigans, including wildfires in Spain, Daniel getting ready to head off to college, “day-in-the-life” videos, and the blur that life takes on when someone passes.

In today’s topics, we talk about studies which reaffirm that trans youth do not regret transitioning, another which debunks the myth that puberty blockers irreversibly harm bone density, and educate folks on upcoming ballot measures targeting trans youth.

In Allies & Assholes we highlight the WNBA, celebrating Cheryl Reeves for her staunch defense of trans athletes, and drag Sophie Cunningham for being an ignorant transphobe.
