Help Kath talk her out of it. This episode is kind of a throwback to the first podcast we dd together, Fool Me Once about scams (patrons can hear all 3 episodes we did) A bounty of links for this episode: The Community Service Society of New York helped Faith take on her health insurance company. The Mt Sinai plastic surgery dept staff supporting Dr. Avanessian are amazing human beings-- so amazing, the famously misanthropic Faith DaBrooke wrote thank you notes to them Faith says, see Birds of Prey . Kath says, see Parasite . Read the book My Friend Anna , so you can learn more about the shitty human being Anna Delvey, whose black chiffon babydoll dress is 99% of the reason Faith wants to be a grifter. "Oh no! I dropped my twelve pack of delicious Sticky's chicken fingers! My boss is gonna KILL me!" Ear Hustle podcast from prison, where we'll definitely end up. Orange is the New Black , the book, not the show, is really good.

My partner doesn't really know how they feel but they know that they don't feel entirely their assigned gender. As a straight cis woman, I am having a really hard time understanding these feelings and what to do, if anything, to support them in helping them figure out what makes them most comfortable." We discuss how labels can be both helpful and unhelpful, the kinds of questions necessary, what societal strictures should be ignored, and the frustrations Jenny's partner may encounter.
