Join us on the playground with fellow ‘gender nerd’ and this week's guest, S. Bear Bergman (he/him). In this episode, we chat about Bear's new book, Special Topics In Being A Parent: A Queer and Tender Guide to Things I've Learned About Parenting, Mostly the Hard Way, and answer a listener-submitted voicemail from Steph! We talk to Bear about the benefits of leading with personal experience rather than a position of expertise when it comes to parenting advice, and his desire to write a book about caretaking that didn't gender the parenting experience. We then dive into Steph's voicemail all about gender neutral parenting.
Recommendations this week include Ben Greene’s Substack Good Queer News and Morgan M. Page’s podcast One From the Vaults. Marcelle’s recommendation this week is to run for your local municipal government or school board!
