This is a show about individual experience and personal identity.

There may be times when folks use identifying words or phrases that don't feel right to you.

That's part of what we're exploring here.

Please listen with an open heart, and as always, I welcome your polite, engaged feedback,

and I encourage you to continue the conversation in your own life and with your own community.

Welcome to Query.

Today's podcast is a chat with Charlie Jane Anders, who has been so patient, we have been

trying to talk for honestly months.

And Charlie's book, Victory's Greater Than Death, is fabulous.

I love this book, it's a queer YA sci-fi rom through space.

And I loved chatting with Charlie Jane, and hey, you know what else?

Speaking of things I love, I love you, my listeners.

And have you thought about being a Patreon patron for this show?

You can become a Patreon of this show.

Now, some folks have adjusted their monthly donations down a little bit.

Why?

I think because, and this is not everybody, but it's a few people.

And why?

Because people's mullah situation ebbs and flows.

I know mine does.

So if you are somebody who could give a dollar a month, $5 a month to keep this show running,

tell me Paciera, and to keep us getting great guests, like Charlie Jane, have amazing conversations.
