What does real allyship look like when the stakes are high? In this powerful episode, Bryan (they/them/elle) talks with Françoise Thenoux (she/ella) — also known as @TheWokeSpanishTeacher — about how educators can move from performative allyship to courageous co-conspiracy through inclusive, non-binary Spanish language and classroom practices.


🌈 You’ll hear:

  • How non-binary and gender-neutral Spanish is reshaping classrooms across the Americas
  • Why true allyship requires risk, courage, and community
  • Practical steps for educators to create linguistically and queer-affirming spaces
  • The story of one student who changed Françoise’s entire approach to teaching

This episode is for allies, language teachers, and anyone working to make schools more inclusive for LGBTQ+ students and educators.
