But that's what this pod is about - honesty, saying it out loud, getting to the truth - And I'm learning, which is the point. Thanks to Jon, and look forward to my podcast with his son, which I've been made aware is on the horizon! I look forward to having him set me straight.In Part two of their discussion recorded 11/20/2025, Doug V & Jon Canning delve into the complexities of transgender issues, exploring personal experiences, societal perceptions, and the importance of empathy and understanding.
