Allies Aren’t Optional: Shaun Proulx on Empathy, Labels & Liberation
Show Notes
This episode is a love letter and a wake-up call.
💥 What We Talk About:
- The cost of silence: bullying, suicide, and shame
- What real allyship looks like (hint: it ain’t waving a rainbow flag once a year)
- Breaking boxes, dismantling labels, and why sameness is deadly
- The trauma of growing up queer in a heteronormative world
- Why empathy should be taught like math
- How toxic masculinity stunts us all—and what to do about it
