20 October 2023 - Gender-Affirming Voice Therapy

Listen Later

In this episode, I have an informal discussion with my good friend Alison (Dragon) Hiester - because any discussion we have is informal!  We talk about what it means to be cis / het in a world of rainbow, what would make a good speech language pathologist, and apologize to Robert DeNiro.
