Welcome to the season two finale! I dunno if you've realized, but all of society gaslights trans people about the very nature of our existence. It's bad actually! We're gonna talk about how exactly that happens, and the effect that can have on a person who's absorbed it for an entire lifetime. Social worker Charlie Hutchinson returns to discuss reconstructing oppression into joy and victory! Let's also talk about... the compulsory heterosexuality of dishwashing gloves?! CONTENT WARNING: this episode includes a frank discussion of trauma, including suicidal ideation and hate crimes. Trans Tuesdays will return in mid-January 2025!

When you spend most of your life with gender dysphoria, even after it dissipates or disappears entirely, you can find it affecting your life in all kinds of little ways you never expected.

It's trans history month! Are you fired up to learn about trans people in history? Good, because we need that fire to push back against prevailing thought in a field that doesn't know how to spot us, doesn't want to spot us, refuses to name us, and actively worked to hide our existence. So let's dive right in to talking about how we name trans people in history, and why it's absolutely vital for us to do so to combat cissexism. PhD student in history (sexual diversity studies) Nico Mara-McKay joins us to discuss cultural shifts and how transitioning is a fraught concept!

There's an epidemic of cis spouses and partners leaving trans people when we come out. Worse, some cis spouses and partners hold relationships, homes, even children over us, with the threat of losing them if we transition. So let's talk about why the support of our cis partners is so vital, what it looks like, and why the opposite is so entirely devastating (and wrong). Artist Andy Alves and writer Ben Crane join us to discuss what transition was like for them and their relationship (find them at HeroesCon June 14-16)! I'm Susan's pal, and shits are fine.

There's something insidious growing inside the trans community: transmedicalism. It's exclusionary, it's harmful, it's gatekeeping, and it needs to stop. So let's talk about what it is, why it's so bad, and where in the heck it came from (the answer may (not) surprise you).

When trans and queer people obtain anything at all, like perhaps representation in media in the "League of Their Own" show, even those cishet folks who like to think of themselves as allies can push back. And that's due to the implicit biases society worms into us without our knowledge, and if you can't acknowledge you have those biases and work to fix them... nothing will ever get better for anyone.

A strange thing can happen when you're trans and don't know it... you never feel like your body actually belongs to you. And so you can't understand why anyone would ever want to make any changes to their bodies, and goodness did that all change for me after transition.

Trans people are a small percentage of the population, though there's actually more than any reports can show. But that means for many cis people out there, if you know a trans person, they're probably the only trans person you know. They're probably the only trans person a LOT of people know. Which means we're constantly getting bombarded with questions (or worse) about our existence from all sides, and the cumulative effect of that can be a problem.

A lot of people don't realize how children in our society are bombarded with the "right" and "wrong" ways to be a certain gender, or just how compulsory being a cisgender heterosexual person is. And this damages all kids in all kinds of ways, and makes life much more difficult for trans kids. Writer and costume designer Aoife Baker joins us to discuss hot lady assassins and how we as a society should be beyond urinal cakes!

Okay, so you know that I received the AI-generated yearbook photos of a younger me that didn't get to exist... but what you don't know is what they did to me. So we're gonna discuss it, in depth, and the history that wasn't. And it's going to be hard, but something important happened and we need to talk about it. Housewife and writer Miriam Robern returns to discuss being a transbian tradwife! We are hot dorks. This concludes season one! Thank you all so much for listening, I hope this show has helped you in some way, and maybe made you feel less alone. We'll be back for season two in mid-January!

I'm not generally a supporter of AI for most things (it isn't even really AI anyway), and yet I cannot deny the impact it's had upon the trans community. So I wanted to write about it, but what I didn't realize is that what I was really writing about is the past and why it's so complicated for people who transition as adults. And what happens when we can get a glimpse of... a new past? A world that was perhaps more kind to us? We're gonna dig in to the most difficult two trans tuesdays I've ever had to write, because it means confronting really hard stuff.

It's the final episode of our series on trans voices... an interview with the speech-language pathologist that I saw for my gender-affirming speech therapy! We're going to get into the science behind it all, why AMAB and AFAB voices sound different and what it really takes to change them. It takes a long time and a lot of work, but if you're dedicated and put in the effort (with safe and certified instruction), amazing things can happen. Do you... adore the lore behind Al Gore?

We continue our discussion of voice, and what that means when you're transgender. This week we discuss my full gender-affirming speech therapy experience, when is the right time to work on pitch, D-I-S-T-E-R-B, and you get to hear a voice timeline... of me saying the exact same thing, from pre-transition, through every stage of speech therapy, on to where I'm at now. It might blow your mind (it certainly did mine). Sound editor Jillian Morgan returns to discuss becoming comfortable with your trans identity and learning how to smile! And folks, please be sure... that if you're doing voice training on your own, you check the credentials of who you're listening to!

So many of us trans people struggle with our voices. They might spike our dysphoria, or cause us to get misgendered, or just not sound like US. So this week we kick off a three week series all about voice! In this episode, we're going to talk about how incredibly gendered voices are in our society, what that does to us, and how to approach that if you're seeking out gender-affirming voice therapy. Our lovely sound editor Jillian Morgan joins us once again to discuss fabulous cis wives, and the parts of this show that you'll never get to hear. My tummy!

We made it! This is the final episode of our discussion of the trans allegory of Silo s1 on AppleTV+! And we're talking all about the season finale, and how the ending maybe doesn't mean what you think it means. We're gonna talk about how even those at the top buy into the lie, and how we need solidarity and community because we can't do it alone.

It's the penultimate episode of our discussion of the trans allegory of Silo season 1 on AppleTV+! This week we discuss how it's socially acceptable to hide your queerness, how the rules only apply to the oppressed and not the oppressors, and how if you're not fighting alongside us for our rights you're an integral part of the power structure that oppresses us. The luminous Samantha Cuddy returns to discucss, and we get a big confirmation of one of my theories!

It's part seven of our examination of the trans allegory of Silo season 1 on AppleTV+! This week we talk about the importance of chosen family, how we're not allowed to have knowledge society doesn't approve of, and how we're saddled with obligations to keep us too busy and exhausted to examine the big questions. Oh, and rabbits! The junoesque Samantha Cuddy returns to discuss how trans people have to be our own amateur lawyers and endocrinologists! And hey... toxic bigots don't deserve to be in your life just because they share your genetic material.
