Leo Dickenson joins Josiah to wrap up Christian Girl Fall (Evangelicalism month at Fruitless) by talking about growing up as an evangelical homeschooler, the strange relationship to sexuality this environment fostered, the way homeschooling helps and hinders those who are neurodivergent, and the focus on aesthetics over coherent faith or morality that characterizes much of the homeschooled evangelical world. This is a messy one that's gets into some very personal anecdotes that were only shared because of the limited, paywalled audience. I'm saying this both as a way of thanking Patrons for supporting the show financially, and also as a general warning that we talk pretty bluntly about sex, misogyny, and neurodivergence in this one.
