10. "If Any of You Turn Out Like That, I'll Kill You" with Jaye McBride

Comedian, actress, and TED talker Jaye McBride joins Emma for a funny and surprisingly tender conversation about growing up trans before there was even a word for it. Jaye opens with the childhood moment of seeing a trans person on TV — that flash of "that's me" — followed by her father's worst-possible reaction. They get into coming out as trans in 2007, how Pride has changed over two decades, the theory that the most rigidly conservative people are hiding the most, losing religion, neurodivergence, celebrity crushes, and the racism baked into how the NFL treated Black quarterbacks.
