Episode 20.14 of The Non-Prophets airing April 4th featuring Jena Miyu, Arden of Eden, Mikey Famine and guest host Christy Powell of Secular Sexuality.

This week’s episode starts with recent news from China and how the Chinese education system is pushing for teaching masculinity to young boys in school due to illegitimate fears of an effeminate take over. To no one’s surprise, the Catholic Church recently changed its stance on same-sex unions. Hear what the hosts have to say about the Vatican’s reasons of why Pope Francis’ original statements on same-sex unions have been taken out of context. In our “Shit Apologists Say” segment, the host comment on a recent interview from a former transgender woman, now transitioned man and Christian apologist Walt Heyer and how his faith and unfortunate experience is setting a bad precedent of misinformation regarding transgender people. In our final segment, the hosts positively reflect on the importance and meaning of March 31st, 2021, which marked the 12th annual International Transgender Day of Visibility.
