Today we are joined by special guest AJ, our longtime friend, Ana's partner, and a nonbinary person.  We also rant about trans representation in video games and talk about AJ's gender euphoric leather jacket.

This week's episode was recorded together in Cam's kitchen, which didn't exactly produce studio quality audio.  However, our discussion with AJ is very much worth the listen!
