Let’s Talk About The Trans Experience(On Trans Womanhood, Allyship, Pro-Blackness and More)05 Sep 202301:29:17

Love the show? Send us a text!

Good Up has always served as a safe space to talk about those experiences in life we didn’t know we had in common. Our hosts live at an intersection of multiple identities and understand very well what it’s like to be treated as subhuman by people in positions of privilege and power. We've been disappointed to see recent bigoted conversations on gender identity and trans womanhood.

So we're here to tell you now if it wasn’t already clear - if you refuse to see the humanity of our LGBTQ+ family - this isn’t the podcast for you boo.

Today, Daric (she/her) joins us for a beautiful conversation on the trans experience. Daric is a multimedia journalist who currently covers the intersection of news, entertainment, and culture at Reckon News. She is a proud Southern Black queer, trans woman based in Los Angeles. Today's conversation covers Daric's personal experience, our thoughts on how the Black community has navigated its embrace (and sometimes exclusion) of queer and trans members of our community, and more.

Has a romantic partner ever left the "romance" in your relationship up to you because "you're better at it?" Have you ever been expected to handle things around your home or at work because another person claimed they were incapable of doing it well?

This week we're talking about weaponized incompetence, which is a tactic some people use to escape responsibility by claiming that they are incapable. We talk about where this type of behavior shows up, how a patriarchal society has resulted in many traditional relationships experiencing this type of behavior, and what our advice would be for those involved in those relationships.

I’m The Gingerbread Man! (On Breadcrumbing)25 Jul 202300:58:41

Love the show? Send us a text!

Have you ever been "breadcrumbed"? Breadcrumbing is defined as a distinct way of leading someone on where a person communicates frequently enough to keep the other person interested (aka leaving "breadcrumbs") but not enough to form an actual relationship. 

This week we discuss the idea of bread crumbing and relationships we've been involved in that may have fit those dynamics. We also discuss how to end those types of toxic situations and what we should actually strive for.

The "Privilege" of Being Pretty (On Beauty Bias and Societal Beauty Standards)22 Nov 202201:05:25

Love the show? Send us a text!

Have you ever heard of the term “pretty privilege?” Do you ever wonder if the way that others interact with you could be based on your looks? Pretty privilege or “beauty bias” works on the principle that people who are deemed more attractive—based on accepted societal beauty standards— are treated differently than those who do not. In this week's episode, Kavita Patel (Bitter to Better) joins us to discuss the concept of pretty privilege/beauty bias. We take turns sharing our personal perspectives as well as times in our lives when we were treated differently by others because of societal beauty standards.
