THIS IS THE BOOK Y'ALL. We loved Detransition, Baby, and knew we had to record a special episode about it. Imagine our delight when the author, Torrey Peters, agreed to join us! In the first half of the episode, Katie and Erica discuss their reactions to the book and get totally derailed into a weird self-help speech??? Then, Torrey Peters joins us to chat about womanhood, transitions, shame, and why the book is so emotional. WIM HOFF FOREVER. This episode contains spoilers, you've been warned!
