Podcast: Let's Talk About Myths, Baby! Greek & Roman Mythology RetoldPublished On: Tue Jun 20 2023
Description: Now more than ever we should remember (and have evidence!) that being trans and seeking gender affirmation has always existed... This episode looks at the evidence in Ovid.

Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.
