Children’s writer and educator, Lindz Amer (they/them), is our special guest this week! We ask Lindz about their experiences making both indie and mainstream children's media, their goal to make more LGBTQ+ inclusive children’s content and how Queer Kid Stuff came from a desire to create resources they wish they had when they were a kid. Lindz then helps us answer a voicemail from our listener Jasper (they/them), on how to approach talking with and challenging kids on gender essentialist ideas that may pop up in time constrained contexts like team sports. Recommendations this week include queeryouthassemble.org, Lindz’s Singing Storytime programming on their Patreon, A World Worth Saving by Kyle Lukoff, and The Witch Boy by Molly Ostertag. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
