Coming Out Transgender on Active Duty Mar 16, 2017

Show notes

What's it like coming out transgender while on active duty in the military? The US Military tends to be a conservative place where traditional gender roles are the norm, where comformity is required and where the rights LGBT service members have been a decades-long political hotspot. In this episode, the Gender Rebels talk with Elizabeth about her time in the US Navy, about coming out transgender while serving in the armed forced and about her experiences, service and transition.

"Grow a pair." "Man up." "Way to go, LADIES." In this episode cis girl Kath asks transgender girl Faith discuss how sexist langague seems to permeate our culture.

Commodification of Transgender People Feb 02, 2017

Show notes

Newsflash: trans people spend money. Your Gender Rebels Kath and Faith discuss some recent television commercials that show transgender women. Are such advertisements respectful to transgender people and their experience or are they simply turning transgender people into a commodity that can be exploited for PR and profits.

Here are the two ads:
Secret Deoderant Transgender Ad
Danish Electronics Store Transgender Ad

Ms. Gender Rebel Goes to Washington Jan 27, 2017

Show notes

Uteruses and vaginas and pussy hats, oh my! Gender Rebels hosts Faith and Kath went down to DC to take part in the Women's March on Washington. We had a wonderful time being there with so many people who also wanted to be sure their voices were heard. But after seeing so many signs with pictures of vaginas or uteruses, or about reproduction, cis host Kath started to wonder if those signs would make a transgender woman feel left out. So in this episode of everyone's favorite podcast she asks trans girl Faith if vaginas on protest posters make transgirls feel left out.

Special Bonus Episode: The Women's March Jan 19, 2017

Show notes

Forward, MARCH. Your Gender Rebels, Faith and Kath are going to be in DC for the Women's March on January 21, 2017. It's an important moment for our nation and for the world, so we thought we'd put together a special bonus episode this week wherein we discuss the march, safety tips and other good info for those who will be able to march with us. Though we will be proudly displaying transgender flags at the march, this isn't really a transgender or non-binary themed episode, so consider it a B-side, a deleted scene, or a free bonus!
