Customer Reviews
thanks katie and jesse
(this review won’t be funny, sorry!) i am a 22 year old detransitioner who’s been ousted from her friend group and lost a lot since speaking out about my own medical malpractice story. so, finding this podcast and others like it has legitimately helped so much in the battle to keep my sanity. the level of nuance paired with empathy (and caustic sarcasm) has been so refreshing to hear and im truly thankful the pod exists. keep at it guys, you make a lot political outcasts feel a little less isolated.
thank you!!
Sanity
Sometimes being sane on the internet makes you feel like the crazy one. Glad to find some voices out there not trying to polarize us all.
