  1. I have been plugging this case in the request form for years, I’m a Cherokee two-spirit from northeastern Oklahoma and a fan of Kendall, Josh and Mile Higher for years. It warms my heart to finally see this episode on the podcast, and as always you’ve done another victim’s story justice with your humanity first approach. Must respect and love ❤

  2. Tennessee here and unfortunately there's alot of people still stuck in old roots some things don't change but slowly as things progress there's changes being made its just a very slow process. The smaller towns are way worse than any larger town. Being outside of the box in any way is frowned upon sadly the state is so beautiful but the people in the state are not!

  3. As someone in Mississippi. It is not good here. It feels unsafe. We no longer have pride sections in our targets during pride because even Target deems it unsafe for us. And it is.

  4. With respect to you I live in Missouri and am Baptist my whole life 51 yrs. I don't agree with gay and transgender lifestyles.
    However people are people and anyone I know personally would not hurt anyone or discriminate against them. My brother is transgender and is now my sister

  5. He is absolutely right about "shorty" urban dictionary is probably not even written by " urban" people. I immediately knew what shorty meant when it was said and he was right. Immediate clue is that she is literally not short lol. Sometimes i have to remind myself even to have an Open mind to suggestions if you're not sure yourself lol

  6. I grew up in Florida and moved to Tennessee when I was 20 with my then girlfriend. It was the first time I had ever experienced homophobia, as Floridians try do not give a fuck about anyone 😂 my neighbors stood in front of my car when I was on the way home from work and tried to force me to get out at gunpoint. Thankfully I was put my car in reverse and sped the fuck out of there. From then on my girlfriend and I would go the long way in and out of the house into town to avoid them. When we called the cops and told them the address, they said “just ignore them”. My grandparents who had lived there long before me found out the man that lived there was the SHERIFFS SON. so not only a bunch of homophobia, but the good ole boys club as well. I live in North Carolina now and it seems everyone here has the same mentality as Floridians. Just mind ya own business lol.

  7. Utah is the worst. Sorry but not sorry. The list that you shared is based on resources and assistant to the community and one of the reasons that Utah is in the middle is due to SLC having good resources which is great. But the way people are treated is a whole other story.

  8. Moving from MS to CO, it has been eye-opening and so refreshing. It is not safe for anyone of the Queer Community. We had small pockets of "better" places, but there was still so much hatred.

  9. Wow, this one is infuriating with the lack of law enforcement help and the VERY SUS mom. This beautiful young woman deserved so much better 😢 The info about two spirits was really interesting too, thank you for the education! It’s just sad that people’s “lifestyle choices” or whatever you want to call it dictate how their cases are treated. Humanity needs to get it together and stop being bigoted, judgmental assholes, especially to victims of crime.

  10. We can be compassionate towards people who have gender dysphoria, but we must not give into their delusion. If you're born a male, there's no amount of surgery or hormones that will change your sex. Gender is a social construct meaning that people can provide different definitions for gender and change gender all they want. But at the end of the day they are deceiving themselves. God established gender roles and people who do not submit to God's will destroy themselves and end up mutilating their bodies. The most compassionate thing we can do is to help them love themselves for who they are, for who God created them to be at birth, not who they think they are. 🙁

  11. Yes, our school system does not protect our kids. I'm consistently advocating for my kids. They don't do enough to control bullying.

    It's truly sad. Kids should be who they are and express themselves in a safe environment.

  12. 10:39 omg you keep hitting the points i want to comment right after i go to comment them… the two spirit is what i was ab to say. but i also wanted to say thank you guys for going about these episodes in a non-biased way while still exploring the actual facts which in turn gives it a “liberal” feel and its crazy its not just seen as fact by everyone, aka cough republicans *clearly throat” it’s crazy they would say you’re being biased but in reality you’re just being truthful and non biased. aka hating on cops (when hate is due) and giving them props when it’s due, and also being strongly feminist and antiracist and anti-homophobic. which just should be widely accepted as how everyone should be but republicans would say you’re being “libs”

  13. all i know ab oklahoma is that it used to be mostly Cherokee people. and now i just think of it as the mid west more than the south but its definitely in the south so its the worst of both worlds…the midwest south lol

  14. I’m from Utah. Our larger cities are very progressive. Some of the smaller towns, not so much. But people here aren’t typically violent towards the LGBTQ community. It’s more verbal harassment.

  15. 19:55 I'm from a small town in east Tennessee and a transgender woman won homecoming queen at my highschool. I guess it comes down to the people in each town vs the actual state.🤷🏼‍♀️

  16. Born and raised in South Mississippi right outside of Hattiesburg. Mississippi has become much more progressive over the last decade. Lots of LGBTQ people live here and are accepted in the churches.
