Summary

1. The question Carson’s sister asked that made him radically reimagine his life. 2. Why Carson is having the best sex of his life. 3. How Carson received sign-off from his Mormon Bishop for his first queer date. 4. The accident that left Carson paralyzed from the chest down at 23. 5. How ableism hurts us all. About Carson: Carson Tueller is a coach, speaker and activist whose work provides people with the tools they need to live authentic, fulfilling, and powerful lives. He identifies as queer and disabled. Carson grew up as a Mormon in a military family moving around a lot before settling in Utah. His own journey into powerful living began in 2013 when, in the same year, he came out, and was then injured in an accident that paralyzed him from the chest down. Since then, Carson has brought his work to international nonprofits and presidential campaigns – and when he isn’t coaching or speaking, Carson can be found at the gym, reading non-fiction, or playing Pokemon with his niece and nephews.

0:15.8	Okay, listen.
0:18.1	Here's the thing that's important to us about this pod that you may have picked up. I'm sure you did.
0:25.6	So we didn't introduce you to Aloke several episodes ago so that you could learn to be an ally to trans or non-binary folks.
0:33.6	We introduced you to Aloke because since Aloke has done the work to free themselves from the gender binary,
