Wearing The Trans Flag 101 Sep 21, 2019

Show notes

Gaysper is an adorable gay ghost with his own twitter account. Faith made Kath a trans flag Gaysper tshirt. What are the rules for cis allies wearing trans gear? Or even for trans people wearing trans gear? Is it safe? Does it spread awareness? Or is it basically invisible to most people?

Faith's favorite band is Garbage. We have an episode about chasers, if you want to hear how they steal transwomen's photos to attract other transwomen online.

Even Introverts Need A Community Aug 01, 2019

Show notes

Ugh, MORE talk about the Philadelphia Trans Wellness Conference?? Yes but this will be the last episode where we go over the PTWC the until next year, we promise. But all you wonderful listeners who stopped to talk with us at PTWC got us drunk on dopamine, so all this Philly material is kind of your fault. But it also brings up the importance of community,even to introverted misanthropes like ourselves. While online communities are invaluable and even lifesaving, there's just something about being in a room full of people like you.

Watch First Girl I Loved and weep along with Faith.

Join us in our fangirling over First Girl I Loved star (and Philadelphia native) Dylan Gelula. She also played Xanthippe on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

See You In Philadelphia! Jul 19, 2019

Show notes

Next week's Philadelphia Transgender Wellness Conference is going to be amazing. We hope we see you there. COME SAY HI AT OUR TABLE! But 75% of the reason we got to Philly is the food. For that reason, please educate yourself on the following important information:

1) There's an art to ordering a Philly cheesesteak, and it's worth getting it right.

2) You can have a sandwich of pork roll or Taylor ham, but it's smart to know the difference.

You can admire the luminous Faith DaBrooke on her instagram, especially her foxy new haircut.

Okay, Sometimes Pride is Annoying Jul 11, 2019

Show notes

Are we OBLIGATED to celebrate Pride? What if parades and dance parties are just not your scene? What about those people wearing nothing but body glitter? You can support their life and autonomy without wanting to be around genitals and glitter. What if house music isn't your thing? Do you have to turn in your gay card?

Is 2019 a Bad Time to Come Out Trans? Jul 04, 2019

Show notes

Is the political climate right now conducive to coming out trans? In this week's episode we answer a listener question: "Someone close to me has come out to me as trans and I’m so proud of her but so many things in the news scare me. I know she finds them scary too. I just wonder, if you were facing starting a transition in today’s world, would you? Would any of the threats to trans rights going on today give you pause if you were still at the beginning of this process?"

Be sure and check out Queer and Pleasant Danger by Kate Bornstein.

Taylor Swift: Friend or Foe? Jun 20, 2019

Show notes

Is Taylor Swift a true ally or is she just using Pride to sell albums? In this episode we take a look at Taylor's controversial new single "You Need to Calm Down" and its related video. Is it a genuine, albeit clumsy attempt to show support for the LGBTQ community? Or is it merely a straight cis person trying to use Pride to sell more records?
Be sure to check out the New York Times article "Is Ego Stronger than Pride?"

The Onion's "Taylor Swift Inspires Teen to Come Out as Straight Woman Needing To Be At Center of Gay Rights Narrative."

Check out Kendall Jenner's tasteless and out of touch Pepsi commercial from a couple years ago.
Lastly, be sure and check out Taylor Swift's amazing testimony when she called out the person who sexually assaulted her.
