On the road in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, Justin sat down with Fran Forsberg, founder of Camp Caterpillar, a summer camp for sexual and gender diverse kids ages 7-14.  With the experience of raising her own gender diverse, and now transgender kids, Fran has a refreshing perspective on gender, the trans community, sexuality, and openness to all gender expressions.
