In this episode, Dianne and Ash explore what it means to transition and why a Nonbinary person may be appearing not to do so. The chicken song also makes a comeback, as well as a new song that I'm sure we'll be hearing about more.

It's hard when a parent won't use your new name. Ash and Dianne discuss their sides of it, Ash's experience, and view it from a lense of love and kindness. Also, Dianne's laptop wasn't working so this epsiode was recorded on a tablet and there are some sound issues.

Also, we talk about Gender Wiki, which can be found here: https://gender.fandom.com/wiki/Gender_Wiki

In this episode, a listener asks why we have labels? What purpose do they server? Would it be better (i.e. less divisive) if we didn't have them? Dianne also asks whether she, a person who is not queer, is allowed to use the word queer.
