What Are You, New?

Season 1 · Episode 7

Thursday, May 23, 2024 • Duration 36:41

In this episode, Marcelle and Raimi look closely at the misconception that trans children are a new phenomenon. They discuss the emergence of terms like ‘transtrender’ or ‘rapid onset gender dysphoria,' and consider the long history of trans-ness in children.

Plans, Trans, and Autonomy

Season 1 · Episode 5

Thursday, April 25, 2024 • Duration 45:12

Welcome back to the playground! In this episode, Marcelle and Raimi discuss “transition.”

We begin with an anecdote from Marcelle about the discomfort she feels labelling her daughter Billie as trans, given Billie started using she/her pronouns soon after becoming verbal. Together, Marcelle and Raimi think through the shortcomings and utility of labels, gender as a social construct, and the importance of affirming the gender and gender expression of people of all ages.

Raimi then explains “transition” as an umbrella term that includes a range of actions pertaining to internal, social, legal and physical changes and choices folks may make. Marcelle asks some questions and there’s a fair amount of giggling!

As always, we end with a couple recommendations and a promise to continue our discussion of transition in coming episodes.
