Description
When author and activist Raquel Willis came out to her parents, they didn’t both react positively at first. While that was hard for her, she did not let it stop her from continuing to come out to others and live her truth as a proud trans woman. Sam asks Raquel how online forums helped her find community when she was a young queer person, why she wishes more members of the mainstream media would trade in their “objectivity” for empathy, and what she would like young people to learn in school about sex and gender.     Follow Raquel Willis @RaquelWillis on Twitter and @raquel_willis on Instagram.   Keep up with Samantha Bee @realsambee on Instagram and Twitter.
