Rachel (they/she) is a transmasc nonbinary person living in Muncie, Indiana. They're also the videographer for my wedding! Rachel and I discuss their "ex-gay" mom's return to the closet at age 21 and Rachel's parallel coming out when *they* turned 21. Content warning: sexual assault, religious trauma, conversion therapy/exorcisms. We talk about these things in a lighthearted, already-processed-trauma way, so if that's not your vibe feel free to listen to just the beginning and the end of this episode! We alert you before we start that section and welcome any story-skippers back once we're done so you can be 100% comfortable + safe.
MUTUAL AID: please donate if you're able so Rachel can fix their car after their catalytic converter was stolen! https://gofund.me/16fe2f91
