In this episode, Jason is joined by Dr. Markie Twist (she/her/they/them) and youth activist Leif (Leif/they/them/he/him). Leif is Markie’s twelve-year old child, who in this podcast shares their experiences around gender and sexual identity development. Leif shares such experiences in the context of Montessori education and Midwestern culture. Leif also discusses their passion for social justice for youth of minority backgrounds, identities, and experiences. Markie, who is returning for their second episode with Jason, adds to the conversation by sharing about their experiences growing up in a liberal home in rural Alaska, and how this foundational upbringing has influenced and continues to influence their parenting and professional practices.
