Sitting in the Intersection: Recent Episodes
CJ & Jaclyn
Sitting in the Intersection is a podcast about relationships across differences. Co-hosts CJ and Jacs travel around the U.S. to find stories from people like you... people who by choice or by chance are in challenging, sometimes messy, complicated relationships, and somehow have a way of making them work.
We all do this. We build and navigate relationships with people who are different than us each and every day. So, how do we do it?
During a time where we seem to be more divided than ever, how do we manage to keep the peace with our friends, family, lovers, co-workers? This podcast is dedicated to the exploration of that very question.
CJ and Jacs discuss the ins and outs of Episode 3: Bathroom Business. In the "How Did We Get Here" mid-month episodes, we invite you into our podcast creation process with a behind-the-scenes look at who's apart of the episode, how our editing and production process unfolds, and what we're learning along this journey. In exchange, we would love to hear your comments, feedback, critique, and content suggestions.
Jac sits down with Dolores to discuss what it's been like for them to settle into queerness and blossom into their trans identity. The conversation was so good, we want to share the whole thing with you. Topics include Spice Girl crushes, NC's HB2, bodily changes that come along with taking testosterone, family ups and downs, and pronouns.
A huge thank you to Dolores for sharing their story so openly. You are an inspiration.
Six. That is the average number of times a person goes to the bathroom in a 24 hour period. It’s one of the most intrinsic of human behaviors, and yet the good people of North Carolina recently found a way to make it complicated and controversial. At Reed College in Portland, Oregon, however, it's a different story. In this episode, we explore the intersection of gender identity and bathrooms.
