In this episode, we chat with journalist Nico Lang about their entry into journalism and their book 'American Teenagers.' Nico emphasizes the power of telling queer stories and the need for empathy to counteract harmful political rhetoric against trans youth. The conversation covers the importance of public support for independent journalism, the challenges of achieving authentic queer representation, and the necessity of recognizing the humanity and rights of queer and trans individuals. We also discuss how to actively support LGBTQ+ communities through voting, activism, and supporting queer-owned platforms.

Nico’s Book:

American Teenager: How Trans Kids Are Surviving Hate and Finding Joy in a Turbulent Era
