***This episode was re-edited to remove some ill-conceived comments regarding cisgender actors playing transgender roles. Upon further reflection, I realized that the conversation required far more space and nuance to explain my point than we gave it in this episode. Further, as a cisgender woman, it is not my place to opine on if and when we will get to a place where it is acceptable for cisgender actors to play transgender roles. I ultimately chose to remove the conversation because I don’t want my words to hurt anyone. I wholeheartedly apologize if that is already the case. Thank you for listening. - Carrie
