About this episode

In this episode, Lizette and Stephen discuss various social issues including trans rights and support for families in distress, while also highlighting notable figures and events.

In this episode of the Parent Advocate, Lizette and Stephen talk Spain’s version of Burning Man, prepping for SXSW and showing up for families in distress. In Today’s Topics we cover Kansas stripping people of their licenses, Trump targeting trans people during the last State of the Union, and a study of over 3,000 trans athletes conclusively disproves the fallacy of their physical advantage. In Allies & Assholes we celebrate Brandi Carlile for her support of Minnesota, holding a concert that raised over $600,000 for families impacted by ICE. And we drag Dennis Quaid for his full throated support of our pedophile in chief. Stay until the end to listen to Brandi Carlile's haunting and powerful single "The Story".
