This episode also contains some strong and explicit language regarding sexuality and transgender identities. Both WNYC and NPR have listened to the passages listed below and feel they fall within the boundaries of NPR's editorial policies regarding profanity and explicit language. However, we want to share the specific examples with you below:

The following are from a piece on a transgender mayor in a small town in Oregon named Stu Rassmussen.

30:35:
JAD: But he is also asking you to adjust the body of your mate, has that been difficult?
Victoria: "No If you want to get kinky about it a Man with Tits is kind of cool" (tits is bleeped)

31:18:
Victoria: "I guess faggit is a slur I guess." Context: Stu's girlfriend discussing some of the slurs that Stu would face around town.

36:00:
"I don't think God is a cross dresser"

37:47:
"God hates fags. Your pastor is a whore." Montage from members of a Kansas church who showed up in town to protest Stu's place in public office.
