Why Our History Matters with Elio Colavito
In our penultimate episode of Season two, we are joined by friend of the pod, Elio Colavito (he/they)! Elio chats with Marcelle and Raimi about their doctoral research on the history of trans community-building and mutual aid. The group chat about the importance of being connected to community from the past into the present. In response to this week's listener voicemail, Marcelle, Raimi and Elio think through how to support kids when someone in their life comes out or transitions, including changing the pronouns used.
Recommendations this week include children's musician Susan Salidor, the Digital Transgender Archive (http://digitaltransgenderarchive.net), and doing karaoke with your kids!
You can find more of Elio at eliocolavito.org (http://eliocolavito.org) or on twitter @eliocolavito.

Challenging Gender Essentialism with Lindz Amer
Children’s writer and educator, Lindz Amer (they/them), is our special guest this week! We ask Lindz about their experiences making both indie and mainstream children's media, their goal to make more LGBTQ+ inclusive children’s content and how Queer Kid Stuff came from a desire to create resources they wish they had when they were a kid. Lindz then helps us answer a voicemail from our listener Jasper (they/them), on how to approach talking with and challenging kids on gender essentialist ideas that may pop up in time constrained contexts like team sports.
Recommendations this week include queeryouthassemble.org (https://queeryouthassemble.org/), Lindz’s Singing Storytime programming on their Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/c/queerkidstuff/about), A World Worth Saving by Kyle Lukoff (https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/720482/a-world-worth-saving-by-kyle-lukoff/), and The Witch Boy by Molly Ostertag.
