    S2E2:WDF: Migraine, Microphones, and Our First Guest: Uncle Jay!
    Mar 15 2026
    In this episode of Wellness Dumpster Fire, Sam and Kat have their first guest: Uncle Jay! Uncle Jay is a cartoon character from amaze.org that asks some questions about gender and trans allyship that many people are thinking but are afraid to ask. Join Sam as her cat messes with her microphone, Dr. Kat while she deals with a migraine, and Uncle Jay while he’s trying to figure out when did gender become more complicated than having “a hoo hoo or a hee hee.” Note: Content warning for trans youth suicide, trans discrimination. Also Note: Our ADHD is strong in this episode; So just in case this was never made verbally clear: LGBTQIA+: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, and + 2SLGBTQIA+: 2 Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, and +. Also, the name of the trans student who died by suicide in Oklahoma was Nex Benedict. Sam incorrectly said Nez. Our hearts are still with Nex and their family, as well as all of the trans folk harmed by discriminatory and genocidal legislation. On an editing note, Dr. Kat had to pause our recording to take care of her migraine and somewhere when that happened, my microphone switched to the computer mic. Sorry about that and thanks for sticking with us. Email us with your Petals of Power!
