I didn't expect them to be, oh yay, you know, your child's trans.

Let's have a party.

I wasn't expecting that.

But what I did expect was to figure it out together.

This is Sarah Stewart Holland and the Speth Silver's.

Thank you for joining us for Pantsy Politics.

Welcome to the Pantsy Politics Summer Series.

Every year we use the month of July to take a break from our regularly scheduled programming

to do a little something different.

We take a deep dive in a way we can't do while we're chasing the headlines of the day.

In previous years this has been a pretty intellectual exercise.

We covered the Federalist Papers, the Constitution last year we talked about infrastructure.

But this year we're following the lead of our new book, Now What?

How to move forward when we're divided about basically everything.

And look at our relationships and connections to one another with more depth.

Now what the book has two parts.

In this series we're going to focus on part one, those closest to us.

Part two of the book covers our relationships as people who share states and nations

and the internet and a planet.

But in this series we want to talk about the relationships in which we are physically present

in our day to day lives.

You don't need to have read the book to follow the series but we hope that you have read it
