Porthos Media Publishes Episode 5 of Season 2 of Q-Dropped

If you or anyone you know is having thoughts of self-harm, please reach out to the suicide hotline at 1.833.456.4566 in Canada and 988 in the United States.


In this episode, we speak to Kodiak, a transgender man whose father has descended down the QAnon rabbit hole, where he’s found reason to spread anti-LGBTQ bigotry. Listen to find out how Kodiak is coping with both the bigotry at home as well as the war on transgender people raging across America.


Get an ad-free version of this episode, along with access to my talk at the WeCanReason Conference, bonus clips from each episode and updates from my own family on the Q-Dropped Patreon.
