If you or anyone you know is having thoughts of self-harm, please reach out to the suicide hotline at 1.833.456.4566 in Canada and 988 in the United States.
In this episode, we speak to Kodiak, a transgender man whose father has descended down the QAnon rabbit hole, where he’s found reason to spread anti-LGBTQ bigotry. Listen to find out how Kodiak is coping with both the bigotry at home as well as the war on transgender people raging across America.
