  • I'm Austin Mitchell, and for the past couple years,

  • my colleague Azeem Gureshi and I have been reporting on the story of medical care for transgender kids,

  • where it came from,

  • the lives it changed, how it became a protocol that spread around the world,

  • and how the politics and a Supreme Court legal fight now threaten its existence.

  • You can hear that story on The Protocol, a new six-part series from The New York Times.

  • Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

  • Hey everyone, it's Anna.

  • Listen, you know how our show works.

  • Every week we bring you a story or conversation inspired by the modern love column.

  • We explore all the complicated, messy ways human beings relate to one another.

  • And we try to learn something from it.

  • This week, I want to play you a conversation that I definitely learned a lot from.

  • And honestly, I am so envious I didn't get to have it myself.

  • It's from another Times podcast called The Interview,

  • and it's a conversation between host David Marchese and the author and poet Ocean Vuong.

  • There is so much I could say about this interview,

  • but I don't want to spoil it, so I'll just say this.

  • This conversation is a masterclass in compassion.

  • on both Ocean and David's part.
