On this premiere episode of Your Other Mother, I share what it was like to grow up raised by two moms in the 1990s and 2000s.

Some terminology you'll hear throughout the episode, for those who may be unfamiliar:

• "queer" is often used as a synonym for "not heterosexual," although this term has expansive meanings and interpretations. In general, "queer" connotes a rejection of heterosexual norms and expectations, and can be both a description of one's non-heterosexual sexual orientation and a political identity. "Queer" was historically used in English as a slur toward people who were attracted to people of their same gender, and has been reclaimed by non-heterosexual folks as an identity marker and a political orientation.
• "cis" or "cisgender" means identifying with the sex you were assigned at birth. "Cis" is the opposite of ...
• "trans" or "transgender," meaning identifying as a different sex or gender than the one you were assigned at birth.
• "nonbinary" means not identifying as a binary gender, e.g., woman or man. "Nonbinary" refers to the concept of the gender binary, which posits that there are two opposite genders: male and female. Though this word has expansive meaning, it generally means that a person does not identify with a particular binary gender or does not identify as cisgender.
