by Mira Jayne
In this episode, we talk about Chappell Roan's recent comments and our feelings around the election, the horrible Republicans and slightly less horrible Democrats, and how politics intersects with trauma.
Trigger warning: talk of suicide. In this episode, we discuss a recent article from Time Magazine reporting on an increase in suicide attempts amongst trans and nonbinary kids in states with anti-trans laws.

We're talking about the horrors of Christian Nationalism and how many Christian Nationalists won't admit who they really are. Spoiler: if you think the country should be run on Christian values, you're a Christian Nationalist.
In this episode, we compare and contrast our experiences with childhood religious trauma from the vastly different perspectives of a former Mennonite and a former Pentecostal, and hoooo lord are they different yet equally traumatic.
