From the Transsexual Voice to Boys Will Be Boys

Happy New Year! And welcome to another episode of Q4Q. Haley connected with Dan Griffiths from the Gender F*ck podcast to engage with some ads written by and for trans people. In the pages of the magazines, we meet a love kitten, a student of the bizarre, and so many others hoping for a connection. 

Listen to us on Spotify, Stitcher,  Apple Podcast, or wherever you listen to your tunes!
