We're back! After a short hiatus, we're relaunching with a special reunion episode featuring our very first guest, Luke S. In this heartfelt conversation, we explore how Luke's gender journey has evolved since we last spoke, the transition from high school to college, as well as his insights on navigating the world as a young transgender person in today's America.

Dr. Marci Bowers began working with the trans community in the mid-1990's, prior to her transition. Flash forward to today, she is a well-known pioneer in the field of gender-affirming surgery, the first transgender woman to perform such surgeries.
In addition to her work as a physician/surgeon, Marci is the current President of WPATH, the first transgender woman to hold the post, and also serves on the Board of Directors for The ...
For reasons not understood, gender-diverse people are three to six times as likely to be autistic as cisgender people. In Episode 8, Casey and Grace welcome special guest, Dr. Laurie Stephens, to discuss the connection of autism diagnoses among the gender-diverse population. Dr. Stephens is a developmental psychologist who has been working with children, teens, and young adults on the autism spectrum for over 25 years. She currentl...
In most cases, the mental health care that Gender Wellness of Los Angeles provides to gender expansive individuals and their families is sufficient in addressing behavioral health concerns such as anxiety, depression, and social difficulties that often accompany the trans / non-binary person's journey at a given point in time. However, there are cases when the severity of emotions — and the resulting behaviors — are so intense that...
In Episode 4, Casey and Grace welcome special guest, Paria Hassouri. One might say that she's a "perfect" guest for this podcast, for two reasons:
1. Paria is a mother of three and a writer. Her amazing memoir, Found in Transition: A Mother's Evolution During Her Child's Gender Change, suggests — in part, anyway — why she is also, now, a transgender rights activist. Much of Episode 4 springs from her personal story, and it's one th...
Body mass index (BMI) requirements for gender affirmation surgery (GAS) are ubiquitous and vary among medical providers. In this episode of Over the Binary (OTB), Casey and Grace talk with esteemed nutritionist — and author — Robyn L. Goldberg, RDN, CEDRD-S, about the subjective BMI requirements that can limit access to GAS, sometimes negatively impacting a transitioning person's health and safety. As the conversation unfolds, they...
The (normally) respected television series 60 Minutes recently aired a segment that was widely criticized for its unbalanced portrayal of "detransitioning." Consistent with this outrage from trans advocates everywhere, Casey and Grace discuss the unfortunate broadcast, and more.
Casey and Grace chat with Luke S., a trans male teen. He's a soon-to-be high school grad who's enrolling in college this fall — and, he's an all-around rock star.

DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
