Dear Mama

About this episode

The episode discusses Carmen Whetstone's support for her transgender grandson and addresses various social issues related to transgender rights.

In this episode of the Parent Advocate Podcast Stephen Chukumba and Lizette Trujillo welcome our special guests Lizette's mother, Carmen Whetstone, and her son Daniel. Our discussion centered on Carmen's journey supporting her transgender grandson over the past decade, including her initial reactions and learning process. In Today's Topics we cover Dave Chappelle's revisionist history regarding his transphobic comedy, Caitlyn Jenner's hypocritical statements about trans rights, and Phil's Coffee's decision to remove pride flags before reversing course. We conclude with Allies and Assholes highlighting the Montana Supreme Court's ruling protecting transgender rights as an ally, and drag DoorDash for their participation in a cringeworthy political stunt at the White House.
