Customer Reviews
Deeply moving true stories
I think this is a situation where the low rating is an indication that this podcast is doing something right. The one-star reviews left by triggered and misguided bigots is a testament to the powerful nature and truth of the stories being told here.
Keep doing what you’re doing TMI, you’re needed now more than ever, and there are so many more of us here for the love, the honesty, and powerful vulnerability.
We’re here because Black lives DO matter, and we’re not afraid to say and hear on repeat until the small-hearted people can say it without irony too♥️
Brave and beautiful
So brave so beautiful. This show actually doesn’t normalize mental illness. This show also doesn’t unnecessarily bring race into every topic to make it seem like we need more equality. There is no equality past equality. Stop. Yuck. Trash.
This is important
This podcast is so important! Telling stories reminds people that we’re all human. We may not have the same experiences, but we definitely share the same emotions. And maybe we can eliminate the trauma that people go through for being transgender.
