Rainbow Kids, Survival, and Emotional Support Tweezers

*This week on Tongue First*, Siren and Wendy are joined by Meggers for one of the most emotionally grounded — and unexpectedly chaotic — conversations of the season so far. Together, they talk about parenting queer kids, chosen family, queer safety, internet friendships becoming real life support systems, religious shame, survival, and what it means to keep showing up authentically in a world that doesn’t always feel safe to exist in. The episode moves through deeply personal conversations about coming out, sexual assault, trauma, gender expectations, dating while trans, and raising children with the freedom to become fully themselves. And because this is still Tongue First, the emotional vulnerability somehow coexists perfectly with discussions about whiskers, body hair, boobs in group chats, and the life-changing power of emotional support tweezers. This episode explores: • parenting queer and trans children • chosen family and queer community • survival, safety, and existing visibly queer • religious trauma and purity culture • consent, assault, and emotional healing • dating while trans • internet friendships becoming real connection • body image, hormones, and chaotic queer adulthood If you’ve ever found family outside of blood, questioned the rules you were raised with, or needed queer community just to make it through the week, this episode is for you.
