Big Mood, Little Mood: Trans Tipping Point

Danny Lavery welcomes poet Elisa Gonzalez, whose first book, Grand Tour, will be published this month.

Lavery and Gonzalez offer advice to someone who feels responsible for complicating their friend’s life by sparking their interest in transitioning. Another letter writer is wondering at what point would it be less painful to move on from an unsupportive dad. Plus a listener writes in to comment on the episode “Time to Move On”.
