We start the show by discussing the uproar over the rebranding of Mr. Potato Head. Hasbro attempted greater inclusivity and received major pushback. What is your opinion on this hot topic? Hit 'play' to join the conversation!
Next, Jon takes us back to school! They teach us about gender, performance and identity. Then we weave in pronouns, body image, sexuality, power, race and culture. We hope you will bring an open mind and join us for this important conversation.
Also, has RuPaul’s Drag Race made us too comfortable with calling everyone ‘girl’ or ‘bitch’? Leganja Estranja, we’re looking at YOU! Let's dig in!
“…that’s what I think ‘non-binary’ is for me; just being fearless.” - Doctor Jon Paul Higgins
After the commercial, Christine discusses recent UFO sightings in New Mexico and Los Angeles! We. Are. Obsessed!
Finally, Doctor Jon Paul asks us when we realized we were white. Another conversation that helps us learn about ourselves and our connections to others. Thanks, DJP!
