Kelly and Carly admit, they’re a bit scared about this episode. Mainly because it involves them talking about things they think are pretty non-negotiable (vaccination, keeping your maiden name when married, organ donation). And they prefer people to not hate them.

But, they have faith in the Straight and Curly community to take everything they say in the spirit intended. Along the way, they share their best tips for expressing strong views about things, but without being a total dick about it.

Resources mentioned:
Elizabeth Kolbert – Why facts don’t change our minds
Clementine Ford - Giving up your name after marriage is a choice that's worth questioning
