Today’s episode is a panel discussion with two of my friends about what it means to transition when you’re non-binary. As people who don’t fit into the male-female dichotomy, I feel like we’re often left on our own to figure out what to do with our bodies, our presentations, and our lives. Joining me to talk about this are my friends and fellow NBs Ollie and William, and together we hope to figure all this s**t out. Links: •Ollie on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ollieevra.scath...

Welcome to a special bonus episode! Instead of an interview, I’m going to post the audio from the video I made for this past Saturday’s Atheists of Facebook online convention. The topic was “The Dangers of Dogmatism,” and it got a lot of positive feedback, so I guess I did an alright job? I’ll let you be the judge. I edited out the flubbed lines and pauses, so this won’t be the full ten minutes. I also included a link to the full video in the show notes if you want to see my pretty...
