Summary

In this episode of the Parent Advocate podcast Lizette and Stephen interview Ed Diaz, the owner of a construction business in San Antonio, father of a teenage trans daughter and subject in the upcoming feature-length follow up to the Netflix short, The Dads. Ed talks about the early years supporting his daughter, anti-trans legislation in Texas and the decision to move his family to Canada to protect his daughter. In Today's Topics we cover the normalization of violence towards women and girls on the right with the Epstein dump, New Zealand banning puberty blockers for youth based on the discredited Cass report, and the 213 House Democrats demanding that Speaker Johnson restore decorum on the House floor and stop allowing members to use dehumanizing slurs to refer to trans people. Finally, in Allies & Assholes, we highlight gay representative Robert Garcia for introducing a bill to protect the human rights of trans people internationally, and drag former National gymnast Jennifer Sey for trying to bribe female soccer players to turn against trans women.
