S1E8: Reverse Pill and Suicide Statistics

My spouse told me that if there was a "reverse pill" to avoid being transgender, she would take it. It is a heartbreaking time in the U.S. to see an increase of anti-transgender laws being introduced while living with a loved one who is trying to navigate their transition and live in peace. This episode explores how our treatment of transgender people can mean life or death.
