About this episode

Amala discusses New York's new bill that replaces traditional parental terms with gender-neutral language.

New York has passed a bill that would outlaw the use of the words “mother” and “father” for some documentation in favor of “gestating parent” and “non-gestating parent.” Doesn’t the state have bigger concerns than woke language games? Let’s talk about it.
