What are family dynamics like for trans and nonbinary folks with kids? How does this shape our relationships with our families of origin? How do we create and nurture our own new families? Why are the bonds we have with our chosen kin so strong? This week, we talk with new guest Dylan Flunker, and again with returning guests Jess Venable-Novak, Meghan Myron-Karels, and Ash Dasuqi.
